Kitty. :(

I'm so sorry, BTD. I didn't see your post yesterday, or I would have certainly extended my condolences. Big hugs from me and the Girl.

Any update on LSPE?

Sorry that some of us are just too unhip to Twitter, but we're still concerned and would love an update. ;)

ok, Ive been searching but with no luck.
what does that say????

I've had mine since I got out of the Army, that's around eighteen years. It's been in various states of good-to-awful but it's there and it will stay.

Save for two brief periods without, I've had some form of facial hair for 15+ years (and if you count sideburns, then that leaves only 1 week that I had none). When I finally shaved the goatee (or more precisely, the van dyke) that I had for over a decade I swore I wouldn't let myself keep any single facial hair style without change for more than a short period ever again. But I doubt I'll ever really remain facially hairless for any extended period, and I certainly won't be making my decisions based on what's "in".

Though it should be noted that the Van Dyke wasn't in when I initially grew it, only to come into fashion shortly there after. 14 years later, I grew the 'stache despite it not being in, and here we are 6 months or so later, and voila. I'm a freaking trend setter.
