bits and bobs: A random assortment of things; small remaining pieces and things
Eyebrows. I need some.
- Where do they get the eyebrows from?
- How do they transplant them?
- How much does is cost?
- How long do they last?
All things I need to know.
My husband. No matter how many times I point out that our luggage {that we’ve had for 5 years} has ROLLERS…. he insists on carrying our bags. It’s so painfully awkward. And I just have to roll my eyes and mentally prepare myself every single time I travel with him.
You know, when you see not one, but 3 people sitting diagonally in front of you on an airplane with their naked feet rubbing against the seat in front of them, the tray table, and their neighbors magazine area you begin to wonder… Is it just me who thinks this is gross? Is it really appropriate to apply lotion to your bare feet and pick at your toes while in the company of 300 complete strangers?
Or how about the 40 year old guy who walked from the front of the plane to the toilets in his BARE feet? Is his eyesight so bad that he doesn’t notice the shiny urine spots on the bathroom floor? I mean, I know it’s a small space and everything, but still, there is a light in there.
Something tells me, he too, is rubbing the tray table in front of him with his feet.
GAG.
When I was a kid we didn’t have backpack catchalls, or pencil pouches. I tucked my one pencil into the inside flap of my Pee-Chee folder or blue wrapped canvas binder {remember those?}. Stuff to hold your stuff… when did that become so popular? And why are people buying it? Why not just light your money on fire and watch it burn instead? At least then it wouldn’t end up in a landfill.
Got a glue gun?
Seriously. Who knew $1.00 worth of red pom poms and a pair of faded jeans could fetch so much.
Looking for a side gig? Dog walking. I’m telling you, it’s where the money is at!
7 dogs x $16 a walk = $112. Even if it took that guy an hour and a half to pick up/drop off and walk all those those pups… HOLY COW MAN.
Hey! It’s the weekend. Smile. Keep your eyes open, and continue to be amazed.
Peace out Girl scouts,

The whole naked feet thing is gross. I like wearing flip flops etc but would not walk anywhere, especially a plane, in my bare feet. I also would not put them on the seats in front of me.

Eyebrow transplant? I guess it could be good for the right people, I wax mine every 2 months and the last lady that did it took away my natural arch and thinned them out way to much. Now I am waiting for them to grow out completely and going somewhere else. I could only imagine a transplant going to opposite and them putting in way too many follicles.
Bare feet on a plane? I use to work for the Airlines and I have seen it all. People clipping their nails, people putting boogers on the seats, people tweezing hair, drool, vomit, other excretions, scratching armpits and groins, giving back massages, etc. Some people just have no boundaries. I had my share of cleaning the lavatories too and believe me, you want to keep your bare skin that touches anything in there to a minimum. The door handle and lock is the nastiest. I had one flight where I was in the back for the majority of it and the bathroom had a constant occupancy and only 3 people washed their hands. So don’t let that person next to you be ‘nice’ and help you with your snack or drink from the attendant.
At least your hubby carries your bag. Maybe you should explain the concept of ‘work smarter, not harder’ to him. Maybe he is just stubborn or wanted a bit of weight training to go with the cardio.
Are a dog sitters/walkers licensed and bonded? I couldn’t imagine paying for someone to walk a dog. Do they do something special other than pick up after the dog? I just don’t get what their qualifications are and how they can make so much.

Those jeans are kind of cute, and I actually may copy them. I guess you’re paying for the intellectual property of the person who designed them? Lots of folks would rather pay someone else to be creative than do it themselves, and if that’s what floats their boat? More power to them.
Shari Harniss says
If you do put the pom poms on your jeans, they will become ‘fuzz’ magnets when you wash/dry them!
Ask me how I know…
Katie says
Ugh, I’ve seen people clip their nails on planes. Gross.
I think the dog walking rates around us (metro DC) are $1-2 more. There is a woman who I see at least 3x/day walking 4 dogs each time. Most of the dog walkers work between about 11 – 2, so it’s part-time too. It looks ideal for someone who likes pets, wants the exercise and doesn’t mind that you don’t interact with people much. And, yes all the reputable ones are bonded, insured, etc.

Re the dog walkers, Think of the amount of poo if you’re walking 7 dogs at once! Yikes! And those were big dogs in the photo, not little cuties like Lucy.
Cookie says
My sister had a dog walking business (she was bonded, licensed and insured) and her first year made over $100,000. She was working 7 days a week and often 8-10 hours. The town where she was didn’t have any boarding facilities so she would often be doing multiple visits a day where she walked and fed and socialized the animals. She hired staff the second year and she still grossed over $80,000.
Mavis Butterfield says
I think I need to start a dog walking business. WOWZA! 😉
Katherine White says
I’ve read about how nasty the floor of a plane is. If I ever fly again I will bring some disinfectant wipes with me to wipe everything down. Gross!

Dog Walking – When my son was young (just graduated college) we homeschooled and he had a dog walking business in our neighborhood. He had two or three work outside the home families that he took care of. That along with yard work created a nice nest egg throughout his adolescence.,,till he got a girlfriend 😉 Even more importantly, created a great work ethic in him.
Airplane manners – I had a guy sit next to me once that chewed his nails the whole time and spit out whatever little bits he was able to naw off. SO GROSS!

Investigate “microblading” for eyebrows. I believe you will be pleased with the results.
