I hate shaving.

[Allen]

I really really do. It takes time, is messy, and what it really comes down to is... I can't grow a beard. Nope, I've not shaven for nigh on 2 months before, and its just a bit of scruff that makes me look sketchy.

I've considered consulting a laser hair removal place to see if it would work on my facial hair or not.


Well I am not going to shave today.

[Reads with Scotch]

With you there man. I hate shaving. I really only do it when I'm home for the wife. She doesn't like scratchy

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

I hate shaving, too. I finally got to my legs after 6 months of winter weather. It wasn't pretty.
I can't stand to let the armpits get hairy no matter what time of year, though.

Oh Jackie... We call that the Tundra wookie syndrome up here in Alaska. ha h ahaha }:-D

How goes the search for a new hubby>?

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

The original hubby keeps telling me he's almost through the morass that is our taxes (it's his fault, as he's the one with multiple jobs). There's a sale at the local bike shop, and it would be cool to get a bike rack for the car.

I want a basket for my bike, too, so I can look even more like a librarian on a bike when I go for a ride. At least I don't look like the Wicked Witch of the West. Not yet.

[Reads with Scotch]

Just don't wear shorts on the bike. Your wookie like leg hair might get caught in the chain, flash braid and get all knotted up... I don't think I need to tell you that that would probably be very painful.

[Allen]

Jeez, waiting till the last day for taxes. Never understood that. I always do it as early as possible, but I always get money back.

[Reads with Scotch]

ditto... But I don't always get money back.

[Kirk]

I with yall on the shaving. I went Grizzly Adams this winter. I look like the guy in the Oak Ridge Boys.

PS. Just finished my taxes. Procrastination--the American way.

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

Kirk, I love you! Nick, not so happy with the imagery.
It's not the last day for taxes. Tuesday the 15th is the last day. At least we are getting them done, instead of filing for an extension. Ahem.

Don't worry, Nick. The wookie hair is gone, as of yesterday, so I am safe to bike in shorts. But the beautiful weather of yesterday, which inspired the shaving, has disappeared.

It is now cloudy and 52 degrees, with showers off and on. I rode my bike home from the bike shop just now, in jeans and long sleeves, and felt pretty chilly. No luck on a bike rack for the car, we have the wrong kind of bumper. We'd have to get a roof rack, which costs $700. Yikes!

So instead, I got a cute wicker basket. Now I can fantasize about biking out to some park for a picnic. Someday. When it's sunny again. Maybe in July.

[Allen]

Even though this is the hate club, I love western Washington weather :D .

[Kirk]

I love you, too, Jackie! Now do you think your husband would check my math for me? (Just kidding).

We had a cold spell in the South this weekend. I had hoped to be able to get in the pool, but no such luck. Maybe next weekend.

[Sarah]

I hate shaving too but I have very dark hair and have to shave every other day in order not to have furry legs.

[Kirk]

I've been studying that photo of yours all day Sarah. No furry legs as far as I can see. Who is the happy jack in the middle? He looks like he's fighting hard not to break out into tears of joy.

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

That's the beauty of living in a colder climate, like Western Washington, Sarah. Not that it gets that cold here. It doesn't snow much, it just rains and is cloudy most of the time.

See, no one can tell how furry your legs are if you always wear pants, or tights, or boots. And the extra hair provides warmth, which is especially great when there's a wind chill factor. It's super!! dripping sarcasm

I really need that Hawaii vacation...

[Sarah]

Ugh, I hate the feel of furry legs, though, Jackie! Especially at night under the covers and during, erm, activities.

Kirk, you've been "studying" it? The guy in the middle is my friend Mike, and the other girl is now his wife. We were all in Guys & Dolls together in 1997. Aw, showmance...

And Mike would never have to fight the tears of joy. He's a badass and he knows it. I think he probably thought that picture was just normal.

[Reads with Scotch]

Big Pimp'n huh...

[Sarah]

Pretty much, yeah. Just didn't want to use the p-word while I was dressed like a hooker.

[Allen]

I couldn't imagine having to shave my legs every day or even every other, face takes long enough. I also hear that the armpits hurt like hell if you nick em.
