Mark, you must use multi-colored zip ties.

Mark...you need to take Ben out of the house more often. I'm afraid all the estrogen is going to start to affect him as well and that is a form of child abuse.

Tim, in my defense I learned how to braid way back in the day when I wanted to learn how to tie a noose. I had watched some western movie where they discussed how a basic slip knot is not good for hanging a man. So I tried this and that, figured out the french braid along with the hangmans noose. Yes, my life pretty much revolves around and is influenced by movies/TV.
