Since pre-pandemic: Have you, yet, returned to your barber?

[GammaGlobulin]

Folks:

 

As of today, I have not yet got up the gumption to return to my barber, ever since the pandemic reared its ugly head of hair.

 

Have you?

 

There has clearly been a great divide between pre-pandemic, pandemic, and post-pandemic times.

 

For one thing, I never really understood just how unimportant a barber might be, in the grand scheme of things.

 

And so, now that I have come to understand this important truth, I will never return to have my hair cut by someone in a hair salon.

 

Therefore, the question begs.....

 

Other than the decision to never return to a hair salon to have one's hair trimmed by a barber....

 

Then, what other unimportant things have you decided to forgo, besides the barber experience?

 

For me, there are many things that I once did before the pandemic, the things which I would not even think of doing now.

 

What about you?

 

How has the pandemic experience changed your habits and social behavior for the better?

 

Think about it.

 

I wanna know.

 

Regards,

Gamma

 

Note:  I am saving lots of money by cutting my own hair. I hope you are similarly saving money in this way, and in many other ways, too.

A barber shop is not a hair salon, and vicey versa.

 

Yes, I go out to get my hair cut. Just found a new place near the gay area on Silom that made me look fabulous darling, so I'll definitely be going back there again.

Care to share your photos....?

 

a.  before

b.  after

 

I would very much enjoy seeing these, Darling.

 

Were you hotter before your trim?

Or, were you hotter after you trim?

 

Did they dye your roots?

 

What else did you have done?

The "pandemic", has changed nothing in my life.

[ChipButty]

Once they announced that they all had to close down I bought a shaver from Lazada there was no way I could go months without an hair cut, My wife does it for me and still does but I might have to buy a new shaver soon it's not holding it's charge, 

 

The other thing is I stopped going to the bar every day, Bad habit, I still have a drink at home but only one bottle, not 6 bottles,

My wife likes I spend more time with her and we go out once or twice a week for something to eat, find some new places to go, have a few beers and my wife drives so everybody happy,

So then...

The pandemic has markedly changed your life for the better.

Most likely, you are not the only one to report such positive effects of the pandemic.

I have not, as I'm usually just sitting  on a park bench away from people (ELGWBI)  

 

 

Booster shot #8, masked up & social distancing, all recommended by the AN paranoid health experts, and thankfully has kept me alive... IMHO

 

Occasionally I sit curbside, if park benches are full of fellow social distancing folks.    I figure sucking in diesel exhaust will kill any of the virus that has made it past my mask.   EVs will be the ruin of mankind, no exhaust to kill the viruses we breathe in ... IMHO

You do realize the pandemic ended quite a while ago and the same could be said for this post

Only for a brief time did I not return to my barber    once because of Covid once because two of them were Magats but the one Magat left.

[spidermike007]

What on earth are you going on about? Of course, I go to my barber every two weeks. What does covid have to do with anything? It's gone baby gone. I never give it a thought until someone like you mentions it. 

[johng]

What the Covid debacle has shown me is how easily a certain narative can be foisted upon a population

who will blindly follow whatever crazy dictates those in power prescribe.

That and the total disregard and demonisation of anyone pushing back against the proscribed narative.

(Godwins law)  I now understand a bit more about how 1939 Germany happened.

 

[Photoguy21]

Yes I have. I dont worry about the so called pandemic. I prefer to live with it.

Exactly the same here. Mrs does a No. 2 all over every three weeks (No, not THAT No. 2!)

It's just socialism. Dictators tell their slaves what to do. The whole system is wrong.

Which form of incapacitation were you referring to?

I am able to jump and play, if that is what you mean.

 

[1happykamper]

The gumption? To get a simple haircut? Sure.. Many.. Why not? 

 

Please explain clearly your thinking... You're a germaphobic now? Or what? You sit in your room 24/7? I'm curious...
