Oh, I believe you, totally. It just sucks that something so easy could take ten years off. I will not even go in to how magazines promote so many ways for a woman to look ten years younger. When I cut my hair, I think it makes me look older.

My son, he had a beard, a nice full one. He was only 17 at the time. A situation happened because he looked years older than he was. It was a traumatic experience for him and the next day he shaved and took all of those years off. Now, he shaves when he feels like it. I swear he looks like he did when he was 7. Really weird to sit next to him driving.

Capt Jack~ If you are like my Hubby, and hair takes a long time to grow back, I understand your reluctance to shave. He has Filipino and Indian in him, two very 'hairless' peoples. With age, it grows back faster but still not like my son.

I still think it’s sacrilege. Men look much better with beards, IMO.

I still cant bring myself to do it. had the razor to my face over the weekend. just couldnt do it.

Capt Jack · 07-19-2007, 10:21 AM

still. curiosity may yet get the best of me. probably wouldnt bother me so much if I thought there was actually a chin under there.

I don't think I ever really young. Apparently I was born old.

Oh so many things I could post. Maybe when I am more alive. It has been a long day so far and it is not even noon yet.

You overhear a discussion of young people driving and hear a reference to kids born in 1991 - and realize that they're driving
