    I miss watching golf and bowling on tv. Something to make you not want to watch tv to begin with.

    I miss being able to work in my home office without everyone in the house.

    Grandparents miss our kids, and we have promised them a LONG visit once this is over.

    There’s a clipper shortage now too! I got in just before the rush, got a decent Wahl clipper set for $27 from Kohl’s. I’m quite impressed with how well it actually came out.

    I got my Remington clippers from Target right as they started to get difficult to find.

    I'm pretty impressed with them, the only issue is that this brand, on this clippers, went by arbitrary numbers for the lengths, not the numbers that correlate to the numbers that the pro clippers use. So I have to guess. But it's cordless and it lasts a long time on a charge.

    It'll get me by until our haircut places open.

    By luck, I got a haircut the Saturday morning before the shut down here in NY. Got the call for an emergency meeting to shut down school on the way home from the barber shop.

    I tried to get a haircut the day before our queen enacted the "non-essential businesses" order but the guy was closed for lunch when I was in town and I would not wait around for him. No problem, right? :picard:
