Haircut

Ailz just cut my hair. We have a BaByliss hair clipper. We've used it for years. It has attachable combs that regulate the length- or depth- of the cut. 

This time Ailz had a brilliant idea. She let me sit at the computer (and write a first draft of this) while she worked around me.

I hate having my hair cut. I hate being messed around with in any way. If you really wanted to be mean to me you'd buy me a day of pampering at a health spa.

Normally I whinge all through a haircut. This time I didn't make a peep. I was so caught up in my writing I hardly noticed what was happening.

If only I could take the computer with me to the dentist's tomorrow!

I love it when somebody does my hair, cuts it etc. It's a luxurious feeling for me.
:)
Now the dentist, that's another matter.

Do-it-yourself dentistry is definitely not a good idea.

Maybe you should suggest the use of laptops to the dentist! Actually though I can't see that being possible...

I'm afraid not. It has to do with the requisite angle of the head. Unless, of course, the dentist were to install monitors on the ceiling....

That seems like a nice idea! Or virtual goggles of some sort!

Oh heck... I'm disappointed that my dentist doesn't use headphones or laughing gas anymore.

My dentist has photos of the staff on the ceilings of his exam rooms, all smiling and staring "down" into the camera. A little off-putting at first, but now I while away the time in the chair by noting who is still on staff, who has moved on, and who has gotten greyer. And all of a sudden, the exam is over...

That's actually rather a good idea.
