Hair Trumps Wax!

Why is hair okay when it’s attached to someone’s head but not okay when it is hanging out  the back of someone’s pilly sweater or  wrapped around an elastic band?   I get skeeved out finding my own hair in the drain and so does everyone else in my family.  My hair grows like a weed and continuously has to regenerate itself…not my fault, ok?  But this post is not about me and my magic hair nor is it about Sir Donald Trump’s mangy rug although it could have been, given today’s blog title.

Hog Fiddle…anyone?

What’s up with all the strange requests from parents?   New Jersey definitely needs more odd children with strange talents, I stand behind that and support it wholeheartedly.  Only problem with this is that we may be setting up our kids to be the brunt of many jokes during their endless time in the school system.  I know all about it…I was one of these kids.  A bug geek in my brother’s hand-me-downs.  Yup.

• Hello,  My daughter wants to learn to play the dulcimer. If you have a dulcimer that you can part with, you would make her very happy. In addition, any dulcimer related material we would be interested in also.
• Hand held, stalk style metal detector wanted for beach combing with my 2 young sons to look for pirate treasure! Many thanks mateys. AARGH….K in Keyport.
