Seems that all of the intrusive poking around our government has been up to, we should reasonably expect more results. Unfortunately, as the recent events in Boston have shown, we can’t.

In honor of the crazy one and her delightful Lovely Daughter and her new hubby:

“baby”

For you people who need some graphical help with beverage construction, I provide this service:

Just in time for the summer, we have news from the Golden State for men who have a need for complete grooming.

Wimmins have had all kinds of options for little and not-so-little medical touchups here and there for many years. First, there were cremes and lotions that removed unwanted hair from legs, pits, and under the nose. Later there was waxing to accomplish the same goals.

Later innovations included Botox, laser hair removal, and liposuction. Then it got weird. Someone decided that the area of a wimmin’s lower anatomy normally fully carpeted should be groomed up some, then embaldened, giving beauty treatment “the Brazilian”.

This was followed by surgical touchups of the “special place”, piercings, and other treatments. As if all those weren’t enough, someone decided that the lower termination of the alimentary canal needed to be bleached.

Ew.

Now, innovation has struck men. In addition to most of the procedures available for wimmins (with more or less obvious exceptions), we have “scrotal tightening”. This involves the removal of excess hair, smoothing out skin tones, and tightening the skin to remove wrinkles. Who knew this was even a problem?

It’s only about $900 per treatment.

You hear that, Mr. Tooter?

These “reality” shows are getting out of hand. Meet “The Iceberg Hunters”:

Today is Lovely Daughter’s baby shower. I was up last night, working on the pattern for the baptismal gown, but I’m not sure about it…may look for another before I commit it to fabric. We have a huge tree to cut down on one of our properties, and Hubby is working on that problem. We hope to be helping our kids move into their new home very soon. I’m excited that the transport chair for moving my mother-in-law arrived yesterday – that was quick! So now I can take her to her doctor appointments without hurting my back (any more than necessary).I’m working on a wall hanging for Baby-in-Waiting, and that will go with me to the baby shower.

On top of that, I still have my workload – which is being affected by the current events.

So, I open the doors, and welcome everyone to The Couch. I have a selection of DVDs from which choose (but no Blazing Saddles, sorry), and we have two remotes (but no fighting over the TV shows, please). I’ll try to make some tea later – I have a breakfast date with Hubby and must fly!

Talk atcha later.
