Pet stores have them too. The apron might even have a dog on it.

Just up the road in Delray!
Grandpony has spent the past two winters there.
Grandpony is NEVER happy to return to New England in March.

I got ours at Harbor Freight for $10 and use it weekly on my husband. A #2 blade is a #2 blade no matter how much you spend on it.

Used clippers on my remaining hair this week and the length guide fell off while I was doing the back. People find it very amusing.

Hey, I'm super frugal -- but let me have this one luxury? I'll never have to replace this in my lifetime. The fin thingies are even stainless steel.

ETA: I thought your hubs liked to keep his hair longer .. what do you do with a #2?

Even if we have to replace it every 3 years, he'll be dead before we spend $50.

Ok, but you know a running joke about Harbor Freight -- the stuff they sell is one-and-done / that they need to have a recycle bin in the parking lot.

Yes, I have bought from Harbor Freight and sometimes it outlasts the one-and-done reputation.

Amateur! My husband and I can spot them at that speed (admittedly, it helps to have your 'morel' eye tuned in).

Indeed, I have quite the selection of clippers here. From bridle paths to full body clip for a Cushings horse, I have what it takes!

The best chef's knife I have is a no-name from Harbor Freight. Better than my second favorite Hinckle's (or however the hell it's spelled) but I've never found them again at HF. And a standard "I like you enough to send you a wedding gift but not enough to come to your wedding" gift is the set of 3 cast iron skillets for $20 from HF.

My sister's partner was a dog groomer many years ago and still had her dog clippers. When the pandemic hit, my sister was just beginning to have her hair grow back from breast cancer chemo, so my sister-in-law has been cutting my sister's hair for more than a year with the dog clippers. My sister loves how easy it is to care for her short hair.

Horseshit. If you received a stimulus check made out to a dead person, you will be prosecuted if you cash it. Why is anyone still using a bank account for a dead person, anyway? Are they stealing Social Security payments, too? Are they forging the signature on the back of the stimulus check in order to cash it? If you get a stimulus check made out to a dead person, you should return it to the IRS, and not take the chance of being criminally prosecuted for a measly $600.

Rand Paul is one of the most notorious liars in the Senate. Anything he says should be subjected to the greatest scrutiny available.

If he knows all this, why hasn't he done something besides chum the waters at a Chamber of Commerce luncheon?

Mark Twain said that members of Congress have "the smallest minds and the selfishest souls and the cowardliest hearts that God makes." He also said that "Fleas can be taught nearly anything that a Congressman can."

He's full of it. Yes, occasionally there is fraud of persons cashing benefits of dead relatives, but that is very rare. There are also instances where someone who is alive and well mistakenly getting put on the SS Death Index which completely screws their lives (everything shuts off, including bank accounts).

Waiting on new headphones arriving today via Amazon to replace busted ones. Gonna get yelled at again if I tell you what I bought.

Years ago I worked with a woman who was an alcoholic (and wound up getting fired because it was too hard for her to come into work, sober or not). She'd gone to the trouble of having plastic surgery on her nose, but she had a round face ('cuz she was Slavic and looked like your typical 'babuska') and she looked like the Pillsbury Dough Boy.

Anyway, at the age of 35, she'd married a 70 year old Portugese fisherman. When her drinking started getting really bad, she would come into work just reeking of death. We used to think her husband had died, but because she really, really needed that SS money, she never reported his death and just kept him stored in her bath tub.

Headphones are part of how Ms and I managed to stay together for 41 years..

Yes, and the impact can’t be “Otherwise I might have to get a real job.”

Woah, this just showed upon my door step. On a Sunday.

I just got a Sunday UPS package delivery. This is the second one in the last few months, and the other one was on Easter Sunday. Weird.

I think the calendar is at best a suggestion these days for delivery.

If there is a truck out in the area, and we're paying the driver anyway, put whatever can reasonably be delivered on the truck.

Business do not like unexpected early deliveries, but consumers be like "oh cool!"

I'd already expected the delivery to happen -- they do deliver 7-days/week. And those workers deserve credit.

So, Imma going try my new headphones.
