The hare line one I got. The hairstyling ones maybe not. But maybe!

 

I will consider the upvoting. May give you both one just to be evenhanded.

Sorry. I just can't stand it when I've made someone sad like that. I'm way too tenderhearted for my own good. I even made time today for my evil ex Voldy who called me worried he had the coronavirus. He doesn't have the coronavirus btw. Mild laryngitis. He's just used to asking me for diagnoses and I'm just used to being useful, I guess.

Alex walked in while I was doling out advice/yelling at Voldy for being irrational and he was not impressed. He gave me a hard stare and an order to wrap it up. So I did. Also you will be glad to know he earned two beers for that excellent piece of advice.

Did you see that video where Pink got drunk the other night (due to COVID19 anxiety I believe) and gave herself an at-home haircut? :lol:
