Oops.

One of my many sales occupations over the years was a Pre-arrangement consultant.

Believe me, everyone should do this. It is a win-win-win situation. 1) when you pre-arrange, you make your wishes known, alleviate the burden on your family and can make rational decisions about costs. 2) the family wins by not having to make decisions under stress. 3) the Funeral Home wins by securing future business.

It was a very satisfying experience to be able to help guide people in their decisions while they were still up and about.

Should’ve worn that ’stache with pride, as I do.

ouch…

Early days of radio DJs . . . stacks and stacks of hot wax.

Waxing nostalgic.

Ooo! Coptic!

Oh, good grief!

Oy! That happened to my friend …if one is on an antibiotic, you’re more sensitive than usual…it took almost a week to heal. ☹️

Use a cream instead,it’s painless and just as effective! ☺️

Don’t remember seeing anything about Dan having been raised Coptic, but I am new to the strip.

Without death we would not value life.

We make plans, God laughs.

Awwww, the sublime to the….errr, ummm, discomfiting? Did you load on the creme base darling? Sorry for when Dan lost his dad….your art is unique and so appreciated. care to you both.

Owww! :(( a painful blow to the ol self esteem. I’m glad you have Dan to lift you up.

I don’t care for waxing. Try the nifty little gadget called Flawless. It works and it’s painless. Please accept my belated condolences. You’re very lucky to have each other to lean on and compare lip hair.☺️ Sorry I couldn’t help myself.

Hmm… maybe a veil would be appropriate for the occasion…

Always appreciate you and Dan for your balance…
