I for one, appreciate the work.
For trhose of us lucky enough to have a hardbound copy of the first edition of Heinlein's "The Past Through Tomorrow" his Future History timeline was on the inside of the cover. I miss that book....lost it when my library was destroyed back in the mid 1980s.

It was in the early Signet paperback editions, too.

Heinlein said that the Future History wasn't actually his idea - John Campbell pointed out how several of his stories could fit such, and handed him a timeline showing how those stories would fit. (He also said that he later almost regretted accepting it, because he started to feel strait-jacketed by it.)

Also, Isaac Asimov credited Campbell with the explicit statement of the Three Laws, saying JWCjr had pointed out that they were implicit in his earliest robot stories.

No joke. Try having more than three and a half feet worth of "oops" when it was supposed to be a split end trim(usually about six inches of deadfall), and a straight bang down to the nose.

My long hair was usually braided and pinned in a chignon. I asked for a natural line(how your hair naturally grows versus straight ends)split end removal trim using scissors, and a single layered long straight bang to the end of my nose.

I'm 5'3". With floor length hair. How hard could it be? Impossible, apparently.

She razor cut it to shoulder length, and gave me multi layered spiky bangs...then she had the brass ones to charge $120 for it.

My Mother got her wallet out, I slapped it back in her purse and went into full on harpy mode. The idiot could not figure out why I was mad, when I specifically told her to not touch the length.

The owner came in, saw me upset, and apologised, sent the girl into the back, collected the ends that were cut into a tail, and tied them.

She then redid my now horribly short shoulder length, uneven, short 'do. She trimmed the razored ends into an even length, then gave me a side part to cover the butchered bangs(think Veronica Lake), and all the product needed to set and hold the style in place until the bangs grew out. She gave me the tail, and two options. One was a place to turn it into extensions(at her expense), the other was to donate it. I donated it...later.

It ended up looking good, but I never set foot in a salon again until my son was three, I so did not trust stylists anymore. My little brother cut and styled my hair for years.

My son's stylist was the only one I let style it in two decades, and she respected it, and styled it to not be so frizzy, just curly.

I also don't keep it floor length anymore, but it's still long, currently to my waist.

I used to be lucky enough to be dating or at least best-est buds with folks who cut hair for a living. Funny, cause it wasn't on the 'list of required items', just how things turned out.

I suppose the zenith was moving in w/ a asst. manager who ran a Pro-Cuts...

Aiyiyiyi! :shock: I can only imagine what it must have felt like, in that first moment when you realized what she had done. :( That incident could well have fallen within the scope of the traditional Western defense of "Well, your Honor, s/he needed killing!", no?

The one time I've been through that, was my wife's first trial use of a new and unfamiliar pair of electric hair clippers... she took about an inch more than either of us had intended off of the hair right at the nape of my neck. Those five words I wrote above, are a direct quote of the immediate aftermath. :)
