Title: Hi everyone
Post by: pixtaker on April 27, 2009, 08:35:08 PM
I've been lurking here for a while & just went ahead and joined and posted.

My name is John.  I am currently residing in Lincoln, NE and, while not SLY yet, I think nature has determined it's only a matter of time.

There is some great info (and what appears to be some great PEOPLE) here and I wanted to say thanks for putting this place together.

Hey pixtaker!

Welcome man.  Glad you are with us.

After many years of "chatting" and belonging to many BBS's etc. I can tell you without a doubt this forum has the best group I've ever seen! No squabbles or complaints just nice edifying posts!

The others are all right! Just post away and try to read some of those topics that apply directly to you! Once you get the routine down you'll be amazed how rapidly and simply you can shave the ol' dome!!

Thanks for the welcome, guys.

Now to answer a couple questions:

Champ007:  lol not just yet.  I'm a researcher by nature.  I tend not to be impulsive so, while I'm pretty sure SLY is coming, it's not here yet.

Stu:  I posted a couple pix on another thread by request but I'll add one here as well.

I'm still reading, still learning, and still progressing.  I'll get there...but it's going to be tough to convince myself to finally "pull the trigger".

Thanks...I think I'm gonna NEED some help pushing me off the fence.  What's funny is, on an intellectual level, I know that ponytail or shaved head I'm still the same guy...but there's just some part inside screaming to stop all this crazyness and stock up on hats....

/sigh

No bro! this is not what you want to do. Don't go the hat route. You want to get the dome out there proudly and confidently.

No hiding behind a ball cap, it's very obvious and it's a cop out. You'll know when the time is right and you will feel good about it, trust me.
 
Then you will wonder why you waited so long!     ;)

Pixtaker,
I am with you on the research. I also had many questions when I first popped in here, even after I read through many post. I went to the archives and blew the dust off my original post in case you missed it. Here is the link:

Hope it helps.

And on another note: Boiler1Bald, man your head is HUGE  ;D

Welcome, bro O0

Ditch the hats and be proud of the SHINE.  From long hair to smooth and SLY...What's the problem?? 8)

Pixtaker, if you can't do it for yourself, do it for charity.  There are plenty of organizations like St. Baldricks and Locks of Love that you could use as a reason to shave.
