Greetings

Just want to thank everyone for the welcomes and support! 

Right now I'm still in the 'take it slow' mode, but seeing how people on this site who knows...

       Rob-

                   I'll respectfully disagree. There isn't a bald man in site on my Mom's side. Her father died at 74 with a head of full, thick, white hair. My Mom's four brothers all still have full heads of hair.

                   Now my Dad's side is a different animal. My grandfather was bald (MPB) as long as I could remember and my Dad (74 years old)  was very thin at a young age and also has MPB.......... same for me. I knew pretty young from looking at my Dad and his Dad that MPB was in my future.

                    I think that "Mom's side thing" may be a bit of a myth but maybe someone more educated about this can chime in.

Well, from my family experience, my mom's brother (Uncle) is bald, and my Grandfather on my mom's side is bald...and the same Grandmother says that he father was bald.  And, to make it more convoluted, my grandmother's brother's children (my cousins), none of them have MPB.

Baldness is on my mom's side, but I agree with you.  I'll bet it was an observation by perhaps numerous people, but then it took on a life of it's own, and soon anytime that was observed, it became 'additional proof' that it was a 'fact.'  But hey, if there is some biological evidence, I'm all ears.

I like you thought I would never loose my hair...I went through the long hair stage as a youth, decent hair until my 30"s and was convinced after that, that I just had a high forehead.
Slowly I worked my hair shorter and shorter and finally said the hell with it and took the plunge...Now I ain't never going back....
