My honey ended a phone conversation last night with his cousin with "thank you for your time." Just running on autopilot.
I have reverse work/life autopilot. I've ended work-related voicemails with "love you! Er, uh, that just came out by accident. I mean I am fond of you but...well, crap, just call me back."
Yeah, I don't religiously follow the steps either. It's more like a buffet of tips where I sample some of them. I still shampoo, but much less often. My other take aways were to stop using a hairbrush, I rarely use a wide tooth comb anymore either (mostly finger comb in the shower) , and don't touch the hair while it's drying.
If I have a party or something, I'll use gel and let it form a proper cast, etc etc.
For curly hair types, shampoo shouldn't really be used. Conditioner is used to "wash" the scalp and hair (thus, "co-wash"), rinse it out, and then condition again, leaving it in while you wash the rest of you with soap, and then rinse it all off at the end.
Did he not like the planters or not like the boards about your idea? That was a pretty good idea. You could use strips of vinyl lattice instead of boards. It doesn't need to be a tall fence right?
It looks bigger on the inside
