Not sure if it would make sense. Advice?

The worst feeling in the day is leaving home while the puppy looks at you confused as he doesnt understand why you are leaving without him and tries to go with you.

This is a confession and a recommendation. I'm a guy and I shave under my arms. I got tired of pit stains from deodorant messing up nice t-shirts, polos, undershirts, etc. A men's mag said I should use trimmers to keep it more tidy. After a few years of that, I just decided to use my Panasonic wet/dry shaver. I love it and can't believe I didn't do this sooner.

No desire to work today. Anyone else in the same boat?
