    Thinking it might be time to trim this lumberjack beard down to how it was pre-WFH.

    I got a haircut in March.

    I've decided not to risk it until I get a Vaccine.

    I don't know how much longer I can keep it up, but I think my hair is beyond the point where it is curling directly into my eyes.. now it's just resting against my cheeks.

    I have also not cut my hair since March.

    I've hit a point where I'm just going to ride it out until it's long enough to try a half ponytail thing.

    Will report back with the results. It's getting verrrrryyy close.

    I started in on the metamucil pills because pounding antacids 24/7 gave me some devastating painful poops

    They totally work and they also help control appetite a bit, and keep a settled stomach... I know, I know, the powder, but I tried the powder and it made me gag (I accidentally bought unflavored, it was all coagulated at the bottom, etc)

    Europa Universalis 4 is not helped by a powerful GPU, so I'm not sure why people think the GTX 3080 is worth the cost????

    If I did some hair gel, I might be able to pull off emo? I'm not sure.

    I have no clue what's going on in this picture, but what the hell. :D

    Also just this morning I was thinking I hadn't had a haircut since the pandemic started, but... if we're not seeing a return to regular business until like late 2021 am I really gonna be able to ride it out?

    I haven't gotten a haircut for ages. I think this is actually my max hair length, because it's been 12-14 inches for a long time now.

    I was using the normal non probiotic benefiber but I ran out and I can't find it on amazon for non ludicrous prices anymore. Is metamucil similar? Benefiber mixed extraordinarily well into water and was completely undetectable if I stirred it up and let it rest for a bit.

    I should note that baldness runs pretty heavy in my family, so that's probably why I'm enjoying my late 30s being the time I have decided to grow my hair out. :D

    I've been cutting my own hair following the ever more faint guidelines of my last professional haircut and I think it has crossed over from good to ok to very bad. I should just go to a place. It's getting dire.

    metamucil doesn't 100% dissolve in my experience but it's not any worse than really light pulp OJ

    I'm kind of disappointed my hair isn't growing longer. It's not quite long enough for braiding to be worthwhile.

    with metamucil there is absolutely 0% chance you will not be aware that you are consuming fiber water

    you have to trim it every once in a while if i remember right from growing mine out

    like just take an inch off the length and it'll start growing again

    And we have gotten to the root of the issue. The license server is not running the license. Time to escalate again to the big org license server for correction. Yuck.

    Don’t buy unflavored. Get sugar free orange. Stir it well, drink it fast.

    Don’t fail.

    can you feel the struggle within?

    I bought the Costco brand fiber stuff or whatever and quite like it, tho it does need to be drunk before it sits too long. But right after stirring it tastes like a finely pulped fancy juice.
