Some quotes from grandma today,
"It's a shame that the clippers took off your hair up there instead of down there (referring to my beard)"
"Have you ever thought about trying Rogaine? I heard it works good."
"I know a good hair dresser, I'll tell her about you. She will probably recommend you grow it out on top, cut the sides short, and then comb it over."
She still can't seem to accept the way I look and when she acts nice to me it seems so fake. My gut feeling is she is embarrassed to have me as her grandson now. It is hard to explain, she just seems so phony now and she is being "nice" to make me feel more comfortable around her. :(

ah well, tough luck Grandma!!
take her down the pub for a bevvie.

Tell her to get with the programme......its the 2000's not the 1800's

Tell her she better be nice to you because you may be the one picking her "retirement" home one day. If she wants one where the help doesn't slap the residents around she should be much nicer to you. ;) :*))

Just hang tough, Dog. She'll eventually let up if you show your confidence and let her know that this is "YOUR" decision.

You could put itching powder in her depends :*))

I should buy her a sly guys shirt :*))

I think if you are more confident in your self she will see that and forget about it O0 My grandpa was bald in his early twenties and always wore the comb over look and tried to hide the fact he was bald :-[ I always said if i got MPB i would shave long before it got that bad. Be happy with being SLY BRO and grandma will come around O0 If she does not come around get her the SLY shirt >:D

Yeah ... Grandma's are old ... They have earned the right to say whatever pops in their minds!

Just ignore her. Be polite and respectful, but change the subject as soon as you can. It may take a while, but eventually she'll realize that she's wasting her breath, as long as you stick to your guns. Don't let her manipulate you.

Thanks everyone

PS... don't think as a man I could wear a Love Head shirt, I am sure friends would play some evil joke and put a question mark behind it.... yes there are others like me.

I agree..be respectfull while standing your ground. One day you will turn around and find she isn't around any longer. We all hate to think about that but its true. Keep the peace and eventually she will come around.

Dog,
Didn't you say that your mom approves of your hair-free do.
I suggest you ask her to speak to your grandmother about this.
The fact is you were born to be bald. The look is you. Hair on your head just was puling you down. You looked much older and even tired.
Grandma needs to lighten up on this issue.
Rodger, Over and Out! O0

maybe try finding a "bald" grandpa for grandma.....
