I haven’t gone gray yet. The last time my ex saw me she asked if I was dyeing my hair. I took that as a compliment in light of our culture that worships a youthful appearance.

My hair is salt and pepper, just about evenly distributed at this point. When it goes completely gray, I’ll think about coloring it purple or deep red or some other obviously unnatural color. 😄 :+1:t4:
 
That sounds cool 🙂 When I was at high school my friends and I wanted to try going punkish,or have our heads shaved…we never did.Just country girls thinking about being punks in the city 😁
 
I actually did get mine shaved. It’s not as shocking anymore, honestly. Although I’m also a bit past high school - far enough that “I really hate doing my hair before work” is considered a completely understandable rationale.
 
I thought about shaving my head for Lent last year. A few other of the guys were doing it. But I was forbidden by some of the ladies in my class (small class size of only 25 before I transferred to a bigger college). Some of those ladies you didn’t want to cross. Besides, I kind of didn’t want to so that was just the last straw. Besides, my mom would have killed me as well. And my sisters. (I have brown slightly auburn hair. Think Obi-Wan Kenobi in Revenge of he SIth but with a hair-cut)
 
My cat is getting some grey hairs. I feel quite sorry for her, as her great distinction from other cats was that she was totally black, even the whiskers. Not anything but black from nose to tail.

As for myself, I started going bald in my teens. I can still remember the shock I got when I first noticed a thinning patch, in my last year at school. It came as a total surprise that my body was aging already.

The cat and I aging together.

Which is both a 😊 and a 😠. We like to sip warm milk for supper and watch old movies.

I just received this photo of @(name removed by moderator) and his kin. As you can see, they are all well and diligently working their way through Lent.

Thanks for the news. Please keep us informed, and send him our love 😠
 
That can actually be an advantage. My uncle went mostly bald in college. When he graduated he was hired in a fairly senior capacity at a (now defunct) airline. Because he was bald, everyone thought he was older and smarter than he actually was.

Of course, on the other hand, I am somewhat offended that you think I might live in California rather than Colorado. 😠

But here in the suburbs of the “mile high city” we are over a mile above sea level and in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains. That’s right, we’re above it all here.

That does sound lovely! 😀 Maybe I’ll drop in when I visit @entwhistler and @christofirst. We could hold the next Mudgie convention on your famous lawn. I trust that your gun is just for show, and is unloaded.

Most of Adelaide is at sea level, but I’m in the “foothills” which rise on the east, to about a 1000 ft. I think. You can take my word for it, or look it up for yourself. 😠

Yes, I’ve found myself crediting young, balding men with above average intelligence!

It can also be an advantage with the ladies, after I explain to them that my bald head is actually a sign of intelligence, and then explain that they should prefer intelligence to looks.

Works every time!

They would change their minds in a heart beat if they ever met a cousin of mine, who is shall we say not the brightest bulb in the pack or the sharpest knife in the kitchen.
His grades in school were very good, and he ended up in a profession I will not reveal because Stephie will throw things at me. It is because he was prone to doing things in his personal life like the Three Stooges.

My son and I are making a road trip this summer – going to stay with my mom in southern California. I’m thinking we should make a daytrip up to Fresno to visit @(name removed by moderator) and make another trip down to San Diego and meet up with @StephieNorthCo. We could meet up with @christofirst and his mom for mass on a Sunday. And on the way back we’ll visit with @Daisy and her killer cacti.

We’re gonna call it the "Great North American Mudgie Tour: Spreading Misery and Lawn Care In One Teeny Tiny Part Of the North American Continent - Get Over It."

I’ll be in LA on business in June. We should all meet for lunch, seriously!

Then I can really throw things at people. 😠

Now if we can just get some others to join us…
 
I might be on my way to who knows where passing through LA ,possibly maybe .I have no idea :ok_woman:t4:
 
Don’t forget Catholic Answers mothership is in El Cajon. We could all get together and invade the place. I’m sure they would welcome the Mudgie contingent with open arms.

Or something like that.

It is? Never heard of the place.😡 I do know if you get on the road here and go west, sooner or later you’ll run into California, and some other states in between that I can’t remember. 🤔
 
El Cajon is about half hour east of Sandy Eggo, on interstate 8. Kinda a suburb.
