    My wife used to cut my brother in laws hair and does own a real pair of clippers. I wouldn't be afraid to do the sides myself with the clippers but have no idea how to cut the top and blend it in with the sides.
    She should know how if she's cut hair before.

    I'm seriously considering letting my wife cut my hair. I usually get it cut once a month at least and I'm overdue.

    Careful...

    Good morning folks...although it feels like afternoon I've been working so much.

    My son is all about his hair, and he has a beautiful head of hair that's so thick. He was going to great clips until the shut in. So he got out his clippers a couple of weeks ago and used a #2 guard and went to town. IN HIS BATHROOM! Hair was everywhere! But it looks great all short like that. Same length all over. So the next time we did it in the basement so we could shop vac all the hair up. He said he was going to just do it himself from now on so that'll save me about $12 bucks every three weeks. I straighten up the neck and sides for him using the clippers.

    At least now I have a set of human hair clippers, and 16 years experience clipping our standard poodle :lol:. I still don’t think he’s going to chance it. My neighbor is a hair dresser at a chi-chi salon, but her husband has covid. I gave up and trimmed my own bangs. Not great, but not bad. At least I can see now :blush:

    About the ceiling fan... switch it to blow up and blow the vapor up towards it. It will go up and spread out the top of the room.
    Just in case you dont know. He means the fan needs to turn clockwise to blow up. If you prefer the air directly on you the it needs to turn counter-clockwise. Switch is located on the base of fan. May be a pull chain instead of a switch. Depends on fan. Hth. At least its the way all my ceiling fans work. Either way vapor still disappears in seconds.

    Then again, it might just be particular flavors that bother her. I have a couple that my better half doesn't like, so they tend to not be vaped while she's around. Most, thankfully, don't bother her.

    Anything is possible. I tend to think the smell of a flavor would also disappear along with the vapor. In any case he's said she hasn't complained so it seems to solve her problem.

    Here is a trick to trim bangs: section what you want to be bangs, comb smooth and pinch it straight down in a v, flat to forehead. Make one straight cut (best to only take a little off until you get used to it).

    I cut my own bangs all the time pretty much like that.

    I think that is the case because some flavors she really notices the smell and others she doesn't. Fuggin Strawberry-Lemonade was good but she objected every time I used it so I just quit using it.

    I used to use a pineapple mixed with some other fruits and creams and my wife commented a few times that it smelled like stinky feet. I never really got that but she has a better sense of smell than me. I still don't vape in the house for the most part. Sometimes I'll sneak a few drags in the morning on weekends before anyone is up but normally don't in the house. I think because my wife still smokes and goes into the garage that she expects me to also. I really don't mind. It was such a habit from smoking to go out there that it's routine.

    Another advantage to being a dude. An older one anyway. If you get a bad haircut it’s like, WHO CARES!!

    And on tonight's menu (links provided) are Ramback Gold and Midtown Chestnut. 10 weeks soaking in PG.
    (I need mason jars for two other flavored extractions)

    Daughters & Ryan Ramback - Pipes and Cigars

    Hearth & Home Mid-Town Chestnut - Pipes and Cigars

    Neither of these are sweet, or flavored. I've had the Midtown Chestnut before, rich and complex.
    Haven't tried any of the Ramback tobaccos yet, Gold will be my first excursion into Daughter's & Ryan.
    If anyone is interested in some fresh tobacco extracts, P.M. me ( as before)
