			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let&#8217;s face it.  Society today does everything possible to safeguard people from their own laziness, incompetence and carelessness.</p>
<p>Tonight, I became an example of someone who has come to rely on these rubber bumpers that cover every sharp edge around me.  </p>
<p>In this case, it was sharp indeed&#8230;  </p>
<p><strong>A little background:</strong><br />
Lately, I&#8217;ve been working very hard on cutting my monthly expenses.  It&#8217;s become somewhat of a game for me, and I&#8217;m enjoying it thoroughly. </p>
<p>On a visit to Sam&#8217;s Club with my friend Tricia, I went to buy a new supply of my luxurious Intuition Razors, which have allowed me to whisk away leg hair with ease in under a minute for quite some time with no traumatic injuries.  I looked at the price of this luxury, and my eyes darted immediately to a 52-pack of basic, two blade razors just to the right of my trusted Intuition.  It cost 10 dollars less, and I could have a new razor per week for a year.  </p>
<p>Tricia and I debated it, and decided to split the ghetto razors&#8230;  We could stretch this one week scenario to two weeks easily!  And at $8 a crack for a years worth of acceptably shaved legs?  Ding ding ding!</p>
<p>That was months ago.  Tonight, if you saw me post-bath, you&#8217;d think I had shaved for the very first time, using a dull straight blade.</p>
<p>Fine.  I was in a hurry.  </p>
<p>Fine.  I got a little too comfortable with these agony-causing hell sticks.</p>
<p>Yes, I had to use two LARGE Band-Aids to stop the hemorrhaging.  </p>
<p>Yes, it probably looks like I was attacked by a villain wielding a Pampered Chef vegetable peeler. </p>
<p>Some people will say I should have trusted my &#8220;Intuition.&#8221; However, I take full responsibility for my actions, and will stick to my budget-friendly changes!  </p>
