A little weird eh? They occur intermittently after eating  and when lying down. When lying down there will be 1-3 fairly strong hiccups and then they stop, until you change positions or roll over etc., then there will be another set of 1-3 hiccups. Makes you think twice about rolling over at night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the hair front things seem to be changing a bit. I&#8217;ve noticed a bit more debris in the sink after combing. Not the rapid clump losses experienced in 2018 but I think there might be an imminent return to the &#8220;Kojak&#8221; look. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"350\" height=\"350\" data-attachment-id=\"418\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/bigdadoo.com\/journey\/413lyp2pccl\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bigdadoo.com\/journey\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/413lYP2PCCL.jpg?fit=350%2C350&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"350,350\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Kojack\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Telly Savalas as Kojack&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Telly Savalas as Kojack&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bigdadoo.com\/journey\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/413lYP2PCCL.jpg?fit=350%2C350&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bigdadoo.com\/journey\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/413lYP2PCCL.jpg?resize=350%2C350\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-418\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bigdadoo.com\/journey\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/413lYP2PCCL.jpg?w=350&amp;ssl=1 350w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bigdadoo.com\/journey\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/413lYP2PCCL.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bigdadoo.com\/journey\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/413lYP2PCCL.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bigdadoo.com\/journey\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/413lYP2PCCL.jpg?resize=100%2C100&amp;ssl=1 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><figcaption>Telly Savalas as Kojack<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, this would solve the problem of getting a haircut for quite a few months.
