[warhawk]

hello fellow chrome domes..... last week at work... one of my female co-workers was at a meeting with administration that showed a "film" & showed some photos of the RNs in my hospital.  anyways.... they showed a picture of me (with hair) & a few of the RNs made comments that they cannot imagine me with hair.  i guess they R used 2 my smooth noggin'.

so.... how 'bout u?  do u have people saying the same things 2 U?  please share your stories........

I've just skipped a day while in the hospital and when my kids got home from school and saw the stubble they said "Dad, You gotta go shave".

[-Doug-]

If I skip a day, my boys tell me that I "need to shave my spikes." Gotta love the things kids say.

As I am only one monthish sly, I haven't really had any comments about imagining me with hair. Me with hair is still fresh in everyone's mental image of me. I'll get back to you in six months on this.

To be honest, I don't think people are used to me as being sly (only been 10 months with a 6 week hiatus to appease the Mrs.). The truth is, I just enjoy the feeling of being sly too much that I can't imagine ME with hair. I really don't think there's a whole lot of difference in how people view me.

No imagination needed with this pic, circa 1996

I'm with Schro on this one, not only can other people not imagine me with hair, but neither can I. Within the past week I've had a wife and a friend say grow it back. To which I reply, HELL NO!!!

One of the guys at work used to ask if he could see my license so he could remember what I looked like with hair. That worked.....until I got the DL pic updated.

I have a guy at church who really didnt like me with the shaved head, but he said it was cool, if I liked it.  I walked up to a conversation between my wife and him and I heard him mention that he now couldnt imagine with me hair.  Same as my wife...but I did get an odd comment from my wife the other day.  We work across the street from each other...and I had on a new shirt that she hasnt seen me in yet.  I was walking across teh street and she was like..who is that old man....and i guess I had turned around and she was like OMG thats my husband...LOL...imgaine taht...Boy I let her have it good.  LOL....but she likes me being shaved. Doesnt matter if she does or not...I like it and thats the way it is going to stay.

I think that's the best comment ever!

I completely take it as a compliment!

Marty, What a great transformation.  SLY was definitely the right decision for you!

I have people at work and church who can't imagine me with hair as I have only grown it back infrequently.  My stepmom used to bug me to grow it back but has quit.  But here is my pic with hair.

This past week during my hospital stay I went just a little over 2 days without shaving.  My kids were all over me to shave. However, my wife asked me how long it would take me to grow it back like I used to have it (I can't believe anyone would even think of wanting that). But I think she remembers my hair better than it was.  I really would rather not grow it back to prove it to her, though.

Ditto on that.

Yes, and it's probably worse than you remember, too.  Bear in mind that you haven't seen it for what - six months or more?  If anything, the thinning will have gotten worse.   It took a long time for me to accept that I really can't grow anything significant on top anymore.  There's just enough fuzz up there that I still have to shave it every day.  It used to be that if I let it go for a day or two, it would look like some hair was growing back.  But then it would just suddenly stop while the MPB fringe area continued to grow.  That was usually the point where I'd end up shaving it all off again.

Wise choice Marty!
