Williams Captivity and Decent into Madness Day #3

Rubberset 400-4 / TGN Finest
Williams Mug Shave Soap
Alum
Quinn's Cucumber Mint Witch Hazel
Barbasol Aftershave balm
Williams Aqua Velva Blue
Talc
Well, it has been confirmed. I am BORED already. the shaves are nice, of course, but the same thing blah blah blah. But we will persist as our descent into madness continues. Frankly you 3017'ers are NUTS and you know who you are. Anyway a good lather, albeit it a scented waste of tiime. Is soapy really a scent? I think not. The razor performed admirably, again on auto pilot, and the post shave products were nice, as they were for the last 3 days....... How can this be fun.
Oh Well, DSBBS, as expected a couple of splashes of AVB, and ya.... Another Shave.
Know I know why our dads and Grandads were so Grumpy... They had to shave like this every day... BOOOOOOOO
Have a Great Day Folks, and......

How can owning more stuff than you’ll ever possibly use be fun?

I hope this helps.

Symptoms of hoarding disorder
Hoarding disorder can be different for everyone, but the main symptoms include:- keeping or collecting so many things that it affects your life or the lives of people you care about
- not being able to manage the things you've collected, but still finding it very difficult to get rid of them
- becoming extremely attached to the things you've collected
- feeling the need to get more things, even if you have a lot already
- having very strong positive feelings whenever you get more things
- struggling with everyday tasks such as cooking, cleaning and paying bills
- having disagreements with friends and family members about your things
- not being able to use rooms in your home because they are too full
I hope this helps.

no it means enjoying life and not being boring

Yet another day of captivity of the Williams challenge
Gillette Tech/personna (6)
Rubberset 400-4/tgn finest
Williams mug, shave soap
Quinn’s cucumber mint
Barbasol aftershave balm
Aqua Velva blue
Talc
Feeling a lot like that movie Groundhog Day, and if I see anybody that looks like Ed Niedermeyer, I’m going to punch him in the throat
Anyway, another good shave, blah blah blah same stuff same day the descent into madness is beginning. I’m starting to see pink elephants.
But, we will prevail however, the logo on the Williams book hasn’t even started to a road yet so this could be a long long, long trudge through captivity
Have a great day folks

It's not hoarding disorder, it's just a timer that tells us when we need a larger house!

Day number six of the Williams captivity and descent into madness
Not gonna list the products because you already know what they are. God, I’m bored, the shaves are fantastic. The Williams is a wonderful soap, but dear Lord, is this boring and as I said yesterday, the logo on the Williams puck hasn’t even gone away yet.
So the pink elephants that I saw yesterday have turned blue and now they have eye patches and handlebar mustaches so I know that the descent and the madness is getting worse
Why I talked myself into doing the Williams challenge obviously means I need better meds
Have a good day, everybody

Day, seven of the Williams captivity and descent into madness
Other than the comments by a lunatic minimalist from Pittsburgh, which nobody listens to anyway, the shaves with the William challenge are going as expected good but boring
Again, the logo is still very prominent on this puck so I’m assuming that we’re probably going to be in the 45 day realm before I can escape this pit of madness
Of course DSBBS with the Gillette tech and I always appreciate Williams. Just not every single damn day.
Anyway, have a nice Saturday folks

Between the VA and Medicare, I get very good healthcare. FTR, my lunacy disorder is well controlled by meds. In fact, it’s in longterm remission. The VA has excellent psychiatric care. So there!
its not working LOL
