Prayers your way
Thanks guys. It wasn't anything serious. But she had to be sedated and needed a driver. I took her home and put her to bed. She should sleep off the effects of the sedation in a couple of hours (if Max will leave her alone) and be up and about later this afternoon. I'm only 5 minutes away and will check on her when I go home for lunch. She should be back at work Friday.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
It's "Women of Rock Wednesday" and since we're getting closer to Hallowe'en, I'm gonna feature some "spooky girls" for the rest of the month. Here are a couple from Canadian Goth Wave Dark Wave rockers, The Birthday Massacre fronted by the gorgeous Sara Taylor who goes by "Chibi". Hope you enjoy.
Great but early shave this morning. Went back to Musgo Real Classic cream and ASB. Wonderful, woody fougère scent and great lather built with the Riva Brushes Manchurian for two passes (+ touch-up) with the '69 Gillette Super-109 and I finished with the matching after shave balm & Jacques Bogart "One Man Show" EdT.
Hope you have a wonderful day.

VERY similar. However, not as long-lasting as EF.

Hello all! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
It's Friday the 13th and I have a couple of apropos selections for your listening pleasure. Hope you enjoy.
Best shave of the week (thus far) this morning. Went back to Phoenix Shaving and their excellent seasonal crossover scent, "Atomic Pumpkin". Great scent and very slick lather built with the Wild West Brushworks "Canyon" ST brush for two passes (+ touch-up) with the Gillette Tech and I finished with the matching AS and a spray of Alexandria Fragrances "Golden Rush" EdP.

Whatever became of the Bay City Rollers? They were all over the radio with their hit.
No idea. I remember when they had that Saturday morning "variety" show. Full-on "Velveeta".Whatever became of the Bay City Rollers? They were all over the radio with their hit.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
It's "Pick Your Own Music Monday" so make it something great!
Man, what a weekend. Got my COVID booster Friday and it dropped a train on me. Felt bad all weekend. Like I had the flu. Body aches, fever, chills, etc. Finally started feeling better late last evening.
Great shave this morning. Skipped yesterday so today's was extra nice! Went back to Barrister and Mann and their classic "Nordost" soap and splash. Wonderful scent and excellent lather built with the Riva Brushes ST badger brush for two passes (+ touch up) with the Timeless Razor TRBR38 and I finished with matching after shave splash and Terre d'Hermès "Hermès for Men' EdT.
Hope you have a great day.
