No sales tax in NH either.

Yeah you just describe what you want and they will tend to do it. I just get away with walk-ins at JCPenney salons, but if you get particular about your style you can find a stylist or barber that can learn how you like your hair.

My hair was about 3ft long at the beginning of last year. I'd normally go for a haircut every two to four months and ask for them to take two inches off and add layering.

Last summer it was getting too hot gardening with how thick my hair gets, so I asked for the back of my head to get shaved as an undercut about at my glasses line. Hair looked the same when worn down, but I could put it up to cool things down. I had to go in every month or two though to keep it short enough to keep me cool, so every other haircut I asked for two inches off and layering.

I let the undercut grow out from October to June, and had maybe 6 inches of hair? With no layering it looked a bit flat when I wore my hair down.

This summer I decided to get a Mohawk for better ventilation. Asked for the sides to be buzzed leaving about a 4 inch wide strip running from scalp to back of neck, for 6 inches off the longest part of the hair that was not originally part of the undercut, and layering to be added to both the longest portion and what was the undercut.

I typically wear my hair to the side, so it looks like I just have a little undercut and can pull my hair back when gardening to cool off. It would probably look silly if I put up my hair with gel, but after 6inches of hair it really is a pain to put that up. Also I have a kid, so there is no time for extensive styling.

Over winter I'll probably aim for every two to four months for haircuts since I don't need the sides so short. Goal is probably 6 inches off the longest part until it levels out, and then just decide how long I want it in that style.

Nothing more caring then replacing large portions of your customer support team with a system that doesn't need health insurance or vacation time.

Connect has been working well for me on mobile. It occasionally has some issues with assets loading.

Been a bit fucked.

My wife and I have had to drop about $2k in unexpected car maintenance bringing us to one car for a week and a half, we had a miscarriage Tuesday night, and then our toddler had a meltdown at a diner when we tried to take a night off from cooking.

Her obgyn told us to take a month off from trying for a kid and we have enough squirrelled away in savings, so we are going to get through this. Just a tough week, and I'm hoping next week goes smoother for us.

I'd go the route of archive and revisit if you feel you can some number of years from now. Most of my friend group growing up hated getting photographed, so I don't have a huge portfolio. That said now that I am married and have started to have kids it is nice to be able to look at photos with my partner.

One of my close friends I've known since grade school had started HRT within the last year or so. Every now and then she sends selfies of where she is at and how far she came from. For her the old pictures appear to be a point of pride, but I can't say how many she might have gotten rid privately. Not my place to pry.

I still hate a number of photos from when I had less exposure to the world, but a good number of photos are of a happy kid raising geese or playing with their cousins.

From my own experience I'd say I regret deleting/destroying some photos, and past me had been too critical of myself to the point that a lot of memories were never documented. That said some photos are just so opposed to who I am now that they did not justify being preserved any longer.

I've seen some decent discussions over on https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/trans

You can have perks that make you more flirty to males or females and offer benefits to damage.

By taking both of these perks you become stronger at fighting anyone the game identifies as male or female.

Yeah, she put the work in and had great results.

She had also been transitioning for some time before she came out, so you got to keep in mind there are years of progress between the pre and out video.

 

Hey folks,

I was wondering if folks had any brands or stores that they particularly enjoy or find have sizes for the tall.

I've been doing a wardrobe refresh through Torrid, but keep finding the sleeves stop inches before my wrist. Finding masc clothing is less of an issue, but femme clothing or fun shoes tends to be a longer or less fruitful shopping trip for me.
