Just after graduating from college I was upset that I could not find an actual barber, they all called themselves stylists and charged $15 for a $3 hair cut. Started cutting my own hair. The only hassle was cleaning up after. Saw TV commercial for a Flowbee (trimmer that hooks up to a vacuum cleaner) got one and have been using it ever since.



While still in HS I did find a barber in the basement of a seedy hotel in downtown OKC with a topless shampoo girl.

I have not seen Flowbies in stores, though I have heard of them.

I have cut my own hair with a scissors before, but the problem is doing the back. It is hard to get it even. It usually ends up looking rough in back.

Night D....

I got more paper work from my future employer... They sweetened the package with a mid internship travel offer... They will cover my expenses to go home, or my parents expenses to come see me...

I'm working on it. It may have to wait until I get back in town. I think it's time for an "in place install". This Win 7 antivirus 2012 really does a number to the registry and certain files.

Yeah, don't get it....

I have read (too late for me), that there are keys floating around the forums that will quiet it, allowing you to run malwarebytes, etc... Possibly preventing what I am going through. Others say to forward the date by 7 days. This may cause it to uninstall itself.
The 2012 version also affects XP and Vista to the same degree.

Morning, Rick.

Okay I am on hyper alert for the bug. Worst case for me, I reinstall and move on. I have all my pics and crap on my external.
Morning Dave

Based on some directory creations and the files, I got this when I was cleaning an XP machine on the same network as my laptop. It's seems to do it's thing at a later date.

I was running MSE and that never caught it. Keep everything up to date and hope it minimizes there chances.

We are having a very unseasonally warm Winter. I was in shorts and a t yesterday. It's still 70 in my place. No heat or AC.
