DIY Haircuts have always been a thing for me. The earliest memory I have of giving myself a haircut is when I was about 5 years old, and I was at my best friend's house in Bishopville, MD. My mom has repeatedly been saying that I really needed a haircut, and so I thought Why not …
Loss is Loss
I don't have anything funny to say about this. I am not in a joking mood, so I don't think you should read this if you don't want to read something sad. Today we lost another baby. It was a fur baby this time, but the loss hurts just as much if not more than …
