I walk my dog each night in a nearby park. Last night we got out in the parking lot, and I saw a black thing lying across the top of the trash can at the park entrance. We walked over to it, and i saw it was...a violin case. Now anyone who posts on these boards knows what has to be in a stray violin case - a Tommy gun, right? We did about 20 minutes circling the garbage can, coming back periodically to it. No ID, just a plain black violin case. I finally got up the nerve to inspect it. The latches were all open. I opened it ver-r-r-y gently. It was empty.
We left the park and on the way home it hit me: my prints are on the case. I think I'm going to like prison. That’s funny. You beta lawyer up...LOL

Don't forget that DST starts this weekend.
I wish they'd end it because that extra hour of daylight burns up my garden tomatoes. And I wish they'd keep it year round... embrace the light!  But I hope you're joking about it affecting the plants (plants don't have watches)... lol
I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey!  lol Whaddaya want me to do? Whack a guy? Off a guy? Whack off a guy? --Peter Griffin My DVDs | Facebook | Godfather Filming Locations

FamilyTreeDNA, an early pioneer of the rapidly growing market for consumer genetic testing, confirmed late Thursday that it has granted the Federal Bureau of Investigation access to its vast trove of nearly 2 million genetic profiles. The arrangement was first reported by BuzzFeed News. I was interested in doing this through Ancestry.com but heard these types of firms were keeping a database of the samples you provide. Once I found that out, I said no thanks. Not that I have anything to hide. But they should not be keeping this without my consent or just in general. I had the same thought as you. I watched a documentary on the golden state killer. They had the killer's DNA but it wasn't in the data bank; but a distant relative of his was in the data bank. This led the investigators to narrow the suspects and find the killer. It's amazing what they can now do with DNA.

Anybody have any experience using a safety razor? I've thought about switching before and am currently thinking about it again but wanted to get some feedback from others who have made the switch? Thanks. I use one. It's the closest shave you'll get but it takes some getting used to and you run the risk of nicking yourself. A styptic pencil is a necessity especially when first starting out, but if you prepare your face properly (lots of warm water and a good shave cream - I use a shave butter and always a fresh blade) you'll do OK. They're harder to use than say an Aftra blade with a lubricating strip but like I said, the safety blades give a better shave. Get a good razor (the part that holds the blade) and some alum is a help. Just go slow.

I've got the styptic pencil and from the research I've done, it looks like it takes some getting used to. I would be using it on my face and head as well. The razor and blades seem pretty inexpensive. Thinking about just buying what I need, giving it a shot and if I don't like it, switching back.

I-12, since I've retired I no longer shave everyday; more like 1 - 2 times a week, so my usage has of blades has dropped substantially. I buy the double edged blades in packages of one hundred each and that will last me about six months. That package costs me about $12. I shave my head also but I'm not worried about getting a super-close shave there so I use an electric razor for my head. Besides, I'd worry about getting nicks on my noggin. Your facial skin will "toughen up" a little after you shave your face regularly. Plus those blades are easier to use if you trim the top of a mustache like I do.

My head I shave about every 3 days, my face one a week (I know, I'm lazy with it). So you'd say give it a shot and try it out?

Yeah, why not? I'd only suggest buying a small box of safety blades first to see if like them. And go very slowly at first so you don't cut up your scalp.

Your facial skin will "toughen up" a little after you shave your face regularly. Plus those blades are easier to use if you trim the top of a mustache like I do. I use a Norelco daily because it's quick. Not as good as a blade shave, though. I've been searching for the perfect blade shave for years. The multi-blade cartridge shavers work best for me. I tried a highly touted safety razor with highly touted blades--not as good as ordinary multi-blade cartridges. Seldom shave with blades now.

Less than 2 percent of the world's people have red hair, but does that mean they don't deserve their own emojis?
The long-neglected ginger population is rejoicing with news that they'll finally be represented in a group of 157 emojis coming out this year. 1 person in that 2% is my beautiful wife. Interesting. Moe, your new Avatar is hysterical. LoL
