When we lived in IL, my H would get his hair cut at "The Gentleman's Barber". Women worked there and you could have a drink, a cigar and they gave you a neck rub!
My dad always went to Benny's Barber Shop. A little tiny place where, as you said.....only men allowed! Benny always gave a night tight cut & a clean shave!

No, this is a family place. The owner tells the postal carrier to return any magazine that even looks the least bit offensive. When I was in last time, it was Maxim magazine that he boomeranged (I was tempted to whisper to the carrier, "why don't you just slip that into the brown coat hanging over there? ). And there have been a few women who have worked a chair at this place. He has owned it since 1966.
And no liquor either. There is a "men-only" salon in town that will serve 1 ounce samples of beer (state law limits it to 1 oz at a time). And only women work there. No, I have never been. I like my barber...
Hey there, good suggestions on the gift. This is from the kids right? I wanted to point out that it is VERY good of you to get her a gift even if its from the kids...She is very lucky.. even if she doesn't know it. Although I woundn't go overboard... the salon thing is nice, but I would stick to barnes and noble... does she really deserved to get pampered? I don't think so..
Just my opinion...
Have a good day!

Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.
I don't think she should sleep on the floor, and be forced to walk around with thunbtacks in the soles of her shoes because of what she did. I want her to be happy, not miserable. If she comes back to me as a miserable and desparate person, what does that say about me?
Thanks for the input, but I think I will stick with the gift certificate to the beauty parlor.
yes, you have to do what you think is appropriate. I guess it just fustrates me that she can't see what is right in front of her.. a loving man and a good father who wants his family to stay together.
Again, it was just my opinion. you know what's best.

Wife has convinced the kids that there is a good chance that we will get the puppy tomorrow.
I intend to tell her (in private) in a calm voice that I strongly object to the dog. If pressed, I will not give her the exact reasons (her trying to earn the favor of the kids and her filling the void left by her now-absent boyfiend). I will simply say that there is too much going on around here, and the presence of a new dog will do nothing to improve things in our family.
