new guy finally coming out

[tomcj2]

I went SLY on Canada Day (July 1st).  I am 61 years old, a little fat, but basically in OK  condition. I have never been concerned about my hair style.  For the past 20 years I have had a  #1 buzz cut  and then ignored it until I had to brush or comb it;  immediately I would have it buzzed again.  I knew that I had MPB but wasn't overly concerned UNTIL  July 1st when (after having a few "wobbly pops") I looked in the mirror and saw Friar Tuck.  Being a very devout agnostic I immediately changed my appearance by shaving bald, and have kept it up daily since then.  My wife has been visiting her ill mother and does not know that I have gone SLY.  I expect that she wll freak out and insist that I start growing it again when she returns in mid August.

Welcome out of the Friar closet, Tom! 

Tell your wife that it's too late -- you're already addicted.

[Sir Harry]

Welcome! At the end of the day, it is your head and if it makes you happy, she'll relent...But don't assume she'll be angry...She just might like it, you may be surprised!

[D.A.L.U.I.]

They learn to live with it, believe me.  If you like it, you're the 24/7 guy--enjoy and keep it slick.  The only thing that will really irk her is the probable attention you'll get from other ladies .

[Frontier Guy]

Welcome Tom .... expect the Best (and be Sly for Life).

[tomcj2]

.......... the probable attention you'll get from other ladies .

I have already had 2 head rubs, the latest one from a young maiden at the local pub just this evening......... but let us keep it our secret...OK?

[Paul the Headblader]

hey. you sound so....frank. she has to understand you. try to get her used to the idea by telling her about the bald thingy on the phone or via the internet.

I went sly at age 63 and my wife was a bit put out at first but n one ever comments these days 8 years later.  Would suggest you might tell her before she gets home just so she gets used to the idea.  However if you have been a No 1 buzz for years she might not even notice.  Good luck!

[wonderer]

Welcome !It is never too late to do what your heart is telling you to do    !

[Frontier Guy]

I can hear it now ... "Hi Honey, a funny thing happened when I was trimming my hair ..." and you just go from there.

Welcome to SBG.

[BaldHDbiker]

Welcome and congratulations for shaving it off. 

[Hingatao]

Welcome to the club, Tom. And tell your wife she'll just have to get used to it!

[Andrei]

Welcome!
Tom, if you like your new look, isn't it possible that other will like it too, like friends and even relatives? Because I think there is a good chance that they will.
