Age?

“Lots of iron and arsenic in that Michigan water.”

“"You are only as old as the women you feel"

Groucho Marx”

“I've been married longer then you've been alive :-)


Damn kids........”

“You and Spirithand are about the same age....too bad you didn't get to meet her.”

“32 years of marraige? Holy smokes, do you get a Nobel peace Prize for something like that?”

“And, unfortunately no Peace Prize...you do get hard of hearing though......”

“45 here. Mentality? 28.”

“mntsteve...

congratulations....in this day that is quite a feat!!!!”

“Lizs - 45?

Not bad for 45 kid!”

“note to self, whatever you do, don't reveal your age or occupation to this crowd.”

“TT - I would bake but then i would get fat.

Elf - I live in DC, My hair cut is abot $70-75 with tip. But let me tell you the shampoo girl does this thing on my neck that almost makes me..... :)”

“70$ for a hair cut???? and you're a guy,,,right?”

“bearmagnet, what does she do, massage your neck with her boobies?

I'm sure mtnsteve would settle for the "piece prize"..... ;^O”

“Yes, I'm a guy. I think the base rate is $45. That's standard if you don't go to a barber or butcher, I mean "Super Cuts."

Do real men not pay that much?”

“28 here. I think the whole thirty thing has been freaking me out, but I'm getting past that. From talking with some forty somethings at work they say that's the same thing they went through and then went through it again at forty wishing they were thirty again.
I guess now I really don't care. My new definition of old is when you eat applesauce and s*&^ yourself everyday! Atleast I stopped calling myself a quarter of a century old...LOL! Age really means nothing as far as ability anyway.
When I was fourteen I dishwashed with a ninety year old guy we called old "tripod" (a name he got in the Navy) and this skinny little man was really fast! He kept up with us young guys no problem! And he wasn't using an industrial dishwasher- he used the sink and did it the old fashioned way!
I guess youth is a feeling, not an age...”

“HPM's mom still cuts his hair.


;)”

“I call here "magic hands". She must have "another job". I have to physically restrain my leg from stomping up and down when she massages my neck :)”

“Bearmagnet lives in Washington D.C.

Enough said.”

“LOL @ TomT!

geez, I hate forking over $12.95 for a haircut...”

“I get my hair cut once or twice a year.

Right now I'm in my winter shag phase which will give way to the Vernal Equinox shearing.”

“Watcha implying wolfeyes?”

“I am IMPLYING that EVERYTHING cost TRIPLE in WASHINGTON D.C. I used to live near there myself aobut 10 years ago. A damn haircut for a guy at 70.00 to 75.00 is a lot of money.”

“For that amount of money, she should take care of the leg stomping, too.”

“Oh. For some reason I get in the defensive mode on this board. Ready to counter attack wit & sarcasm. Not quite sure why.

I guess I shouldn't mention how much something costs b/c its all relative? Although I may not be making 3x as much as all y'all!”

“and I thought $35 was bad...LOl.....I have a guy hairdresser......he is great........”

“Big Boob rub haircuts..hee hee.
Tripod..I think that meant something else in his time.

A friend retired a few months back
"That was a quick 33"
He said.”

“Is the tax over there still at 9.5 percent?”

“bearmagnet, its about time for a D.C. meeting of the mindless.

Just as long as we don't all meet for haircuts.”

“This thread is running almost abreast of the one about Janet Jackson.”

“10% at least.”

“See? That is what I am saying...you pay too much for so little over there...I think the cost of living over there is eitehr the second highest or first. Not sure which is higher, there or Hawaii but I was lucky to have spent my whole military career at both places. By the time I got screwed by Uncle Sam on my paycheck and after spending the paycheck, I don't complain about taxes over here at all.”

“I finally got my Ben. Franklin post up for the ladies. Enjoy!”

“Dang! I pay $13 with tip for haircut. By the way, what is a proper tip for a haircut? Food is 15%, what's a haircut?”

“The hairdresser doesn't shampoo me, the shampoo girl does, she gets a $5 tip. Maybe she would take care of me for more?

TT - are you in DC?”

“That's minimum, right. Maybe that should be a different thread? I tip my hairdressar well.”

“bearmagnet, I'm in Baltimore(Towson).”

“Yes, cost of living is high. And I just took a huge paycut to change(alter?) careers. I also pay $930 for a studio plus $120/month for off street parking.

930 is low considering my rent hike when I first moved in was 13.5%. It's ben halved every year since. I guess that's "rent control"?”

“Well hey neighbor! I'm in Rockville at the moment. Slacking.”

“Do you folks tip on tax?”

“Nope, not even a dollar.”

“Bear - $70 is too much for a guy - even in DC - or should I say especially in DC!”

“My haircuts cost $30, I enjoy every minute of them.

I'm not saying how old I am, but I was here before dirt.”

“So how old is your haircut?


Ooops! the thread degeneration is confusing me.”

“Guess I'm the oldest on FYAO IV

I turned 62 in January”

“Hey yeah, lets talk about tipping, like how much and when do you all tip. This is something that always confuses me. Maybe that is because I am a youngun who may be the same age as Twigeater.”

“I'm 43.

The 20's were hell, the 30's were better, and now the 40's are great. (although I wouldn't go back and change a thing).

I started hiking and backpacking at 40 and it's been uphill ever since.”

“"I've been married longer then you've been alive :-)

I was married for a 1/2 century back in the 80s.”

“For someone who just started backpacking, you sure made up for lost time.

Just check out her Webshots albums, this woman has grit.”

“I hate tipping for a haircut because they rarely do what I want. A while ago I decided to go back to a "real" hair guy (rather than pay for a hack job at WalMart which I can do on my own for free) I picked a cut out of a book, and he cut it perfectly! I gave him $5 tip on a $20 haircut.

So I go back for a trim. I define trim as "the same hairstyle, just trimmed" but apparently the guy defines trim as "she's old and fat, I'll give her football helmet hair" and of course, doesn't tell me this until he's done cutting. Basically he turned my spunky do into old lady hair.

Now, I didn't want to tip him anything at all, but felt obligated because I had last time. Course I won't go back to him, and am currently cutting my own hair again.”

“Whats a Haircut?

Whats a tip?”
