I said nothing. I got my hair cut, paid, and left. Not like I'l ever be back again.

I mean, she was nice, but EVERYTHING was Jesus. The radio station, the pictures hanging on the wall, the little bric-a-brac things she had around. But of course I was already there so leaving would have been weird.

I am still in Colorado taking care of my father in law. Today I went to get my hair cut and right in the middle of the cut she asked me if I was friends with my lord & savior, Jesus Christ.

Yeah no, that right there sets off my Sweeney Todd-sense pretty hard. Proselytizing while wielding sharp objects near my scalp would be most unwelcome, unless I'm a regular.

This should cue up to the appropriate verse...

I hope you said "if you can't bring yourself to be a good person without Jesus forcing you to be, are you really, in fact, a good person? Is a dog on a choke chain well behaved if you dare not let him off the leash?"

I've found, "Can you change the subject?" to be a fairly polite way to get someone to stop talking about politics/religion/etc, followed up with, "I'm really not interested in that. If you have nothing else to talk about I would prefer silence."

If they continue I complain, in writing, to the manager, and if it's a franchise up the corporate ladder afterward.

I'm all for finding out if people want to discuss religion and politics, my beliefs include sharing them with everyone, but the moment they suggest otherwise - particularly in a position where they can't simply walk away - there's no excuse.

I don't think I could bring myself to go to a random hair cuttery in the first place.

When you move to a new area, it's kind of a necessity. This wasn't Dave's problem this time, but after an "odd" experience (I'll leave it there, one time only!) after moving to Kelowna, I knew how this kind of thing (not Dave's experience, different) could happen.

I am so lazy about dealing with my hair. I really need to deal with it because it's growing out kind of weird in the front and I am so gray, but laziness continues to win.

I still get one haircut every 12-18 months.
I'm a music guy who works in IT, I'm practically required to have a ponytail.

I usually get a haircut whenever it gets bad enough that I can't keep it out of my ears, which usually works out to be around 8 months.

That's...not how it works, guys.

Yes, because the best advice on how to improve my WEBSITE comes from subscribing to your MAGAZINE. *facepalm*

Sign at the hotel pool where I stayed. Actually they mix too well.
Did something happen at this hotel? Something that required the posting of this sign? Hmmmmm?

Listen, building a construct that resembles a spider is a completely different thing than animating an actual spider.

I've been with the same hair dresser for over 13 years and she's awesome.

If I had to go to a new one for some reason and they started going on about Jesus, I'd leave.

I shave my own head. I went to a barber one time while my wrist was in a plaster, and...well, he'd've been more likely to start about Mohammed than about Jesus :p And I can do a better job, so unless I break an arm or something again, I don't intend to be back there any time soon. Last time before that that I saw a hairdresser or barber was....Ummm....I think when I was on vacation in Zanzibar in 2012.

My opinion on spiders has generally been, if one's in the house (and it isn't dangerous to humans), I'd rather room with the spider than whatever he's found as a food supply.
