Hey when I had a huge hairball of curls old ladies often asked, "Can I touch your hair?" -WTF?> No, you can not! Hair or even lack of it, I mean, sheesh, touch is personal, not for weirdos to grab on. Hahaha!<br /><br />I love the diptych -before and after!<br />Good one Mike!CtKingstonhttp://ctkingston.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21521415.post-56144404360880953212009-10-11T20:54:02.232-04:002009-10-11T20:54:02.232-04:00Clearly, Linda, you have good taste in writing, an...Clearly, Linda, you have good taste in writing, and men. :-) Luckily, hair is not so important at my age, or to my girlfriend.

I don't think many people could speak so openly to the world about a physical trait that they aren't happy about.<br />It amazes me though, how calloused people can be about things like this. I've struggled all my life to gain a few pounds and keep them on. It astounds me that people will actually say to me, "You're so skinny, you make me sick..." and think that I'm going to interpret that as some sort of back-handed compliment. I would NEVER dream of saying to someone, even my worst enemy, "You're so fat, you make me sick!" <br />Just for the record, I think a high forehead on a man is quite, umm... appealing, if you get my drift. ; ) As is your earlier photo...One Wink at a Timehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00376243777796535015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21521415.post-7404689637757403212008-06-18T22:47:00.000-04:002008-06-18T22:47:00.000-04:00Maybe I can post some new "Wanted" posters on the ...Maybe I can post some new "Wanted" posters on the WUMD lounge walls.

I agree with you. I am not very confrontational either. I was scared to knock on their door and make my case alone, and I guess I thought going with him would help the situation, but clearly, it had the opposite effect. I too thought about leaving a note, but, as the noise did abate (presumably the family members were from some distant area and went back) and has remained so, I think I'm going to let a sleeping dog lie, in this situation. Thanks for responding! Unfortunately, some people will never be brought around to having consideration for their neighbors, just as some people will continue to barrel along on the Beltway at 90 miles per hour, narrowly missing every other car that's staying within the flow of traffic -- until they kill themselves or some unsuspecting other driver.<BR/>Jen from <A HREF="http://thatswhatithink.net" REL="nofollow">That's What I Think</A>Jennifer Sardamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14924724423417856384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21521415.post-79782169978145456202008-01-16T09:23:00.000-05:002008-01-16T09:23:00.000-05:00I didn't realize....that you were....losing your H...I didn't realize....that you were....losing your HAIR!<BR/><BR/>:-P<BR/><BR/>(want some of mine, i'm tired of it)Esmereldahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04230516815747612607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21521415.post-67963573108303642412008-01-16T01:04:00.000-05:002008-01-16T01:04:00.000-05:00Mike, that's a hot college pic of you!

I only know how you looked at OMHS and then 10+ years later. <BR/><BR/>A couple years back I found myself incredibly attracted to a balding (and shaved) man in his early-40s. This cracked me up, as I had to acknowledge that I, myself, was nearing the onset of mid-life. It was a very physical marker for me. <BR/>I remember reading, at that time, that baldness and higher levels of testosterone traveled together. And while younger women (younger than me, that is!) were less likely to find balding men attractive, 40s and up women did, as such balding indicated higher levels of testosterone.<BR/><BR/>No scientific claims of anything here. Only anecdotal evidence of my own. <BR/><BR/>I just love your blog and adding another layer of knowing you by reading your blog. <BR/><BR/>So, rock on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
