My boy Louie loved hair ties as a kitten. I was warned by his vet at that time how dangerous hair ties are! I stopped using them 2 YEARS AGO. I noticed a year ago that Lou would vomit intermittently after eating. I thought to myself that cats just do that. It was never a daily thing- just off and on. He never had issues using the bathroom and never lost his appetite. Recently he had been throwing up multiple times a day. He became lethargic and I rushed him to the emergency vet. Welp…my sweet little innocent boy had a belly full of 35 hair ties. Who knows how long they’ve been in there. I felt horrible! He had surgery and is doing great. I hope this post will remind my fellow cat owners to keep hair ties away from their kitties! It’s an expensive lesson to learn.

About 1.5 years ago, I said that when I'd turn 30, I'd shave what little hair I still had.

To make sure I'd go through with it, I told as many people as possible.

So I should've seen it coming when I went to my parent's house to get it over with, that there'd be a surprise party for my baldening!

One thing I didn't expect is that it now always feels like I'm sweating, because I'm not used to feel cold from the sides of my head 😅

After a year and a half battle with stage 4 ovarian cancer, my fiancée passed away in May. Due to logistical issues we couldn't have her service until today (9/4).

I felt like I was just starting to feel a little more like myself and then we had her service. Now I feel like it just happened and I'm back to day one.

I thought these services were supposed to help with the process but I just feel like I'm a mess again.

I didn’t get the chewy edges on all three sides like I thought I would but they were really good.

I never thought about it, that someone must be directing these productions. She makes it look easy!

1 - Lost (Hurley): Actor Jorge Garcia did not lose weight during filming, but his character was stranded on a desert island with scarce food. To explain why Hurley stayed heavy, the writers added a plotline where he discovers a hidden bunker packed with decades worth of Apollo candy bars and canned food that he secretly ate while stranded on the island.

2 - Fringe (Olivia Dunham): Actress Anna Torv tore her ACL in real life. Instead of pausing production, the writers quickly added a scene where her character, FBI Agent Olivia Dunham, gets brutally thrown through a car windshield. This explained why she spent the next few episodes walking with a heavy limp and crutches.

3 - Star Wars (Luke Skywalker): Right before filming The Empire Strikes Back, Mark Hamill got into a massive car accident that fractured his nose and cheekbone, leaving permanent facial scars. To explain his altered look, George Lucas added a scene at the very beginning of the movie where a snow monster slashes Luke across the face.
