Rudynate

I really enjoy going to the barber to get my hair cut and beard trimmed. I miss not being able to do it.

I keep mine buzzed really short. I didn't used to like guys with shaved heads at all. But I'm liking it more and more. I'm even thinking about trying it.

I'm habitually an early riser - 5:30 or 6A. I've been sleeping in - sometimes not getting up until after 8A. Really enjoying it, feeling very rested.

My husband and I cut each other's hair last weekend. I'm easy - he just needs to buzz me. I gave him one of the best cuts I've ever egiven him. We were both relaxed and I really saw, for the first time, how to do the feathering and the tapering. It certainly wasn't a professional cut, but it was a pretty good amateur cut.

Not necessarily. It depends on what they were using. There are compounds known for putting on "quality" mass that doesn't go away very much, if at all. On the other hand, there are compounds that cause the user to retain a lot of water and blow up like a balloon.

No - But I'm a teetotaler anyway. And I still practice full-time. I've found staying occupied to be really soothing, so Ive been taking care of all sorts of things I had been putting off. Weve been hitting the desserts pretty hard. My husband has been cranking out pies. A few days ago, I made blueberry lemon pound cake. Just yesterday. I found a Kodiak Cakes brownie mix in the cabinet and I made that. I think they might be the best brownies Ive ever had. I've been sleeping late every day. Feel terrific.

l've been using tension bands, dumbbells and bodyweight exercises. My coach sends me workouts, and he and his wife have been doing group trainings on zoom. I also really like the workouts my favorite guy on Instagram - a hunky trainer in LA -designs.

It may also be that 8 hour shifts aren't needed. My mother lived in an independent living facility in Atlanta, but she did need more care beyond what the facility provided. My sister made an arrangement with an agency to stop by morning and evening. The morning person got her out of bed, showered and dressed, breakfast and morning meds. The evening person got her ready for bed and did meds again.

This is a big one. My father had end-stage kidney disease and congestive heart failure and was on dialysis. He couldn't take care of himself and needed to be on a special diet both for his heart disease and his kidney disease. A social worker at his dialysis center sat me down one afternoon and said "you need to make this as easy on yourself as you can" and started hooking me up with all kinds of services that I had no idea existed. It made all the difference.

Of course she's a political figure-she's the head of state. What is more, she is the Sovereign - the sovereign power of the government resides in her- it gives the government legitimacy. It's no accident that the government is referred to as Her Majesty's government. In monarchies, the monarch has an almost mystical role-the Monarch embodies the history, values and common principles around which the people unite. Here in the US, we're too adult for that-the People are sovereign. When I last looked, that wasn't working too well.

They took one out in the 90's - the Embarcadero Freeway. If you think it's bad now, you should see what they had planned for it during that crazy urban renewal binge in the late 50s - early 60s. The entire city was going to be criss-crossed with freeways. The old money in San Francisco managed to get most of the projects killed.

This has a distinct lawless feel to it.

After nearly 3 weeks of lockdown, San Francisco is starting to have a bit of a Mad Max feel. The traffic is weird-people speeding on the city streets and running stop signs and red lights.

That's a big assumption, that, having had the disease, they have immunity. The experts are saying that they just don't know. It's worth noting that being positive for HIV antibodies doesnt confer immunity to HIV.

Even to the extent of having to reinvent themselves.

No. But if you think about it, the safety measures for dental procedures are going to have to be completely re-imagined. Im not in a hurry to get back into the dentist's office.

Im doing workouts at home using dumbbells and tension bands. My coach emails me workouts and stays after me to keep my nutrition on point. Another source of workouts is Instagram. IG is thick with bodybuilders who have time on their hands and are posting workouts that can be done at home with little or no equipment. My favorite guy on IG posts a new workout every day. Yesterday he posted a back workout done all with tension bands. When I finished it, I had as good a pump as if I had gone to the gym and thrown weights around for over an hour. I was doing to do a national show in July, which probably won't happen. To give myself a substitute goal, I booked a photo shoot with a professional physique photographer.

I had an appointment for cleaning a couple days before the Bay Area lockdown was announced. My dentist called me on a Sunday and asked me if I wanted to keep the appointment. That was when things had begun to get scary and I said no. He said he would be back in touch to reschedule.

Kaiser Physicians are not employees of Kaiser. They are all members of the Permanente Medical Group, which contracts with the Kaiser Foundation Health Plan to provide care for Health Plan members

I've worked from home for more than 20 years.

The most I've ever wanted to do is a European river cruise. An old friend of mine went on a French canal cruise and loved it. They stopped in all sorts of lovely little country towns and villages.

But selected people have been working from home for decades. There are some tech companies that allowed large portions of their work force to work from home and reversed that policy because they found employees who came into the office for work were more productive.

He's a member of this board. I know it's no guarantee but it gives him at least a little cred.

I'm on his list. Some of the guys are pretty amazing. I haven't hired yet, but I'm open to it. He made it clear that most of the guys have definite limits, so that it is mostly a kick-back kind of scene. The rates are pretty reasonable. I think I would pay to suck a straight hunk's dick.
