I go about every 6 weeks, and I'd be due for a trim around the end of February, which means i'd have a month old cut by the time of the wedding. And we can't have that. I'm on week 4 of my cut right now, so I guess I'll move this cut up in the rotation. Just disappointed in myself.


1. Have them adjust the wedding date.
2. When does your hair look the best? Mine looks best about mid way between cuts, but USUALLY continues until a week before the next cut.

Time your cuts accordingly.

3. If you are actually serious, which I doubt, get a grip.

hey anybody tried an impossible burger yet? GMO plants made into a hamburger. Getting RAVE reviews. Gonna head up to Weaver's way in Ambler for lunch today to pick one up. The latest Freakonomics is all about it.

I've had a bunch of Impossibles from Bareburger, they are amazing. Also their Beyond Burger is meat-free, I forget the difference in the ingredients. Impossible holds its texture a little better. It's cliche to say you won't know the difference from a normal burger but it applies here if done right.

I'm guessing the number of people at the wedding who care about your hair is 1.

FiL got an Impossible Burger from Magurks last weekend. he didn't have his glasses on so he didn't know what he was ordering. turned out that the description doesn't even tell you that its a veggie burger at all

yeah I know! I pulled up their menu earlier since it's right around the corner. Doesn't look like they do take-out, though, so I'm gonna go a little further to Weaver's.

Dave and Buster's also has them, and they allow you to substitute the impossible patty on any of their burgers. appears to be no upcharge.

Methylcellulose is a bulk-forming laxative


So its better for you and a form of poor diet plan? Better burger, bigger shits.

After many years of research, there was still one-third of the ancient city of Pompeii that had never been explored - but in 2018 that all changed. An excavated area that was already known to the public was in danger since the mud, ashes and harden bits of lava from the unexcavated area were collapsing and sliding towards it. Due to the danger of losing an already explored area, archaeologists rushed to excavate the last area called Regio V. Inside researchers uncovered a new set of frescoes as well as a room that was built as a shrine to the guardian deities known as Lares who were believed to protect homes and fields in the ancient culture. "During the excavations in Regio V new walls and other treasures are emerging from lapilli. In one of the houses that was partially excavated in the late Nineteenth century - the house of Jupiter - now we can see brightly colored walls and some frescoes, including the first mythological scene found during these excavations: probably it is Adone Wounded in the arms of Aphrodite, surrounded by Cupids," said the researchers.


I guess since the guardians screwed them they did not feel like they needed to do much with that area with any haste.

half way through he wondered if he was eating a veggie burger. then when he was done he said it wasn't good at all.

yeah, i just finished mine. I was underwhelmed. Not awful, just not real good. not nearly as objectionable as a veggie burger. I'm wondering if we're still not getting V1 of the product- V2 was just announced last month.

I think you sitting down to one @ 1000 might make it sort of suspect.

:-D

i went there with the objective of bringing one home to grill up at lunchtime, but they're not allowed to sell them that way- only prepared. So I had a burger for brunch!

March apparently starts retail sales.

Do you often go into restaurants and just ask for the ingredients to cook it yourself?
