I cut my families and my own hair. I also mend my own clothes. (Home Economics came in handy!!!)

What do you do yourself that most people pay someone to do?

    Really didn't mean for it to go that way, I was just cutting my own hair today and my bud was telling me how weird that is. I thought it would be a good topic.

    I cut my own hair (well shave to #3) and on more than one occasion have slipped and ended up shaving everything off.

    That's happened once, I actually use scissors on top now. It took some practice to get it down in the mirror to do the back of my hair right for a good fade cut.
  • Work out and exercise without a gym pass. Love the outdoors. And DVDs sometimes in my own home. And have a free personal trainer who leads us in our workouts (except at home of course!).

    I am jealous of those that are able to cut their own hair. If I did mine myself, it'd look like this.

    Ditto on the haircuts and clothes mending. I'm a poor student, so I try to DIY almost anything I can.

    I also fixed my MacBook once. A wire in the screen went kablooey and I had to take apart the entire thing using a tutorial online. It was a little terrifying, but I had nothing to lose except the $25 wire replacement. That was during the summer, and I'm still typing on it right now!
