Tuesday is the cruellest day, compounded by the fact that I’m due for a haircut. For some reason I’ve never gotten over an aversion to haircuts (or taking taxicabs), as it seems too much like I’m being “serviced” like a royal being. Nevertheless, my hair grows longer. . . . Meanwhile in Dobrzyn, Hili and Cyrus snuggle on the couch and discuss Big Issues:
Hili: What is your attitude towards humanity?
Cyrus: I love it.
Hili: I’m more choosy.

In Polish:
Hili: Jaki masz stosunek do ludzkości?
Cyrus: Kocham ją.
Hili: Ja jestem bardziej wybredna.

How cute!
I’ll have to check when Cyrus came in and Hili was at the top of the bookcase.
Ha! Do not complain PCCE, for at least you HAVE a full bonce! I have had a monkish patch since my mid 20s 🙁
Hili might like this famous poem –
I wish I loved the Human Race;
I wish I loved its silly face;
I wish I liked the way it walks;
I wish I liked the way it talks;
And when I’m introduced to one,
I wish I thought “What Jolly Fun!”

She does like it! Thanks.

Considering what we have to pay for a haircut or a Taxi it’s more like a royal screwing. Be sure and leave an appropriately screwed tip.
The reason I have long hair is that I got tired of always getting haircuts. So, I just stopped getting haircuts and let my hair do whatever it wants. Makes life much easier.

I hate sitting there getting the haircut. It always takes a long time. But such is the burden of a female.
Ben, I took the opposite tack years ago, when I went bald on top and got tired of being tonsured. Bought a clipper set and buzzed it all off to 1/8 inch. Takes me five minutes every couple of weeks. No tipping involved.
Hili has no problem being treated like the royal being she is – you should learn from her.
A friend of mine was very anxious about getting shorn. His aversion arose from a fear of being touched. He spent time trying to come up with a design for an automatic hair cutting machine. I suggested to him that it might be possible to make such a device, but I thought the demand for it would be tiny since there are so few people with his sensitivity.
It’s never a problem for me. My wife has always cut my hair.
Such a sweet photo of Hili and Cyrus!
Haircuts aside, this is Hili at her philosophical and true-cat best! Loved it.
Since I got out of the Navy in 1999, I get my hair cut about once every 3 or 4 months — usually about the time it get long enough to start sticking out all over the place. My hair’s thick and grows out rather than down. Might be good if I was a rock star or artist but being a Civil Service clerk I don’t want it to get too unruly, although I don’t particularly like getting haircuts either. At least for the last 10 years I’ve been going to a salon run by two women who’ve long since gotten to know me well enough that I don’t have to explain how I want my hair cut.
