I’ve been thinking about getting a perm, but it’s rather expensive. On the other hand, my twin brother is getting married in two months, and I want to look decent.

Oh, and **Bill H.** , is that a lament or a boast? 😉

I’m trying to be patient here, **pizzabrat** , but these attention-getting threads you’re starting are getting very annoying.

I came to this thread in the first place cause I’m a sucker.

But that wasn’t proof enough, so just to make sure I had to return.
