one thing to add. a hundred pack of DE blades usually costs me $25 US and lasts for about 30 months. however I do not shave everyday and only clean shave for meetings.

no problem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safety_razor#Variants Open comb vs closed comb for reference:

I'm black but my facial hair isn't very coarse. My skin is very sensitive to razor bumps. A few years ago I started using beard oil daily, even when clean shaven. I use Proraso White shaving creme and a dual edge safety razor with an open comb after a week I stopped getting razor bumps. The moisturizing of the beard oil is probably what did it, but I like the safety razor and the shaving creme.

Wife and I may have separate rooms sometime in the future. we have 5 bedrooms and not really thinking about selling anytime soon. Since the kids left it's been more of a thing. If I don't wear my CPAP mask i can disrupt her sleep. She also has nights where she wakes me with her snoring or movement. She already has 2 rooms for her clothing and knickknacks. I turned one of the rooms into my home office and keep my clothes in there for now. I'm guessing it's just a natural progression of getting older and having the space to do such. Wife's parents had separate rooms for a while. they don't now. My parents had separate beds in the early 70's. when I asked about it over the years I got different answers. "don't want any more kids", "couldn't afford a king size", etc. Wasn't till later I learned my dad had PTSD from his time in Vietnam and would wake up swinging his arms and fighting everything in sight. They were protecting themselves. Dad died this year. Hope to see him in the new world and get to know him without all the baggage of his childhood and his war experience.

So it did. I forgot about this post. Not that it matters but It would be interesting to see exactly when our brothers were released compared to your original posting. A few articles I read (not going to link but easily found) stated that 'evangelicals and others' were released starting in September from Eritrean prisons.

This is fantastically great news when so little news is good.

If true @skye this is the best news i've heard this year.

I'm in no danger then. lol i quit wearing my wedding band regularly about 2 years after we got married. I started maintaining equipment that had many snags. no jewelry or loose clothes allowed. After that I worked with electical components and other such things that were snag hazards. It finally got to the point where i kept it on my key ring for many years. I then started wearing it again when we went out. I lost it at some point in the many places we lived after our house fire. It wasn't in any stuff that was returned or that we carried with us. it's okay though, my wife lost her engagement ring 4 years after we got married. She thinks our oldest tossed it in the trash or it ended fell off the sink into something. that was 22 years ago. doesn't bother either of us not to wear them.

I'm in total agreement with you on this. sounds kind of sketchy. Survive the most awe inspiring day since creation after living for years under the yoke of satans world. but WAIT! you can't travel for a 1000 years? this kind of speculation is useless. 1Tim 1:4.

I'll possibly be on the phone tie in long after they open the hall back up. My wife and I talked about this yesterday because she's going back to work full time at the end of the month. I'm very high risk for this doing me some damage if I get it. We are talking separate bedrooms after she goes back to work. We are going to wait a few weeks till after there's no new infections in our area for a good month.

this is a fantastic Idea. I sent the links to both tours to my group overseer. we've been having weekly zoom meetups for our group. seems like a fun thing if we can manage it. Thanks all who posted the links.

Take a long walk without pain. Never had that since I learned to walk.

Public talk was fine. WT was a little disjointed because some have poor internet connections. Also the brother's that had hot mics for reading and moderating kept taking focus every time they burped. Sent my group overseer this link https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/360000510003
