It's now long enough to donate; while still having a small pony tail. I look foward to having hair that will dry in 30 minutes.

Awww! That's so generous, Couch.

I was hoping you were looking for suggestions on what to do with your hair. I was going suggest you weave it into a blanket for Jsharr.

But nevermind, your idea is better.

Not yet. I was thinking of Locks of Love but I've read they have some strange business practices.

Well, I talked to Tude and she said I'm no longer allowed to post pictures of my hair on the Interwebs. She's a hardliner. So.....

Thanks for the link Siu!

Actually, I only had a few minutes to research donating again today at work. Unfortunately, I don't think it is long enough to donate yet. While I like having long hair, it's really starting to drive me nuts. I guess I will let it grow longer.

Oh, and I messed up my thumb nail putting together a telescope for my father a month ago. I'm a geek.

I just read what the link has to offer Siu. I should be pretty close to 8 inches. I'll have Tude measure my hair on Sunday morning. Thanks for the information. It's much appreciated.

I think it should be donated to the bald BF Risk Manager. Perhaps it could be woven into a natty cap.

You didn't ask why I was bald.

You didn't ask why I was bald.

And I would never ask that question. Most would not pose such a question.

With that said; I'm willing to be bald; as a balding man. Donating my hair is really not a big deal. I don’t like needles.

Get over yourself Mill.

It sure did get long, Couch. Thanks for posting that pic. I'm sure it be well received. :) Tude, you probably didn't notice his hair getting so long because you were too busy looking into his eyes.

Actually, it goes to my eligibility to receive such donations as a survivor. But you should feel free to jump to whatever conclusions you want. Dipstick.

Happy that you are here with us, MillCreek! Congrats to you on being a survivor. A lot of my family members were not so fortunate. But my sister is!! WOOT! ((hugs)) to you! :)

Wait til it's long enough to get caught in your bike chain. Have a video of that made, upload it to youtube and post it here.

Used to grow my hair verrry long - like below the waist (believe me - long hair - and blue jeans with a belt is a pain).

But the best circumstance to cutting that off was ...

Picture this (and I've talked about this before) ...

Hot and sweaty day - and I'm in line at a grocery store - standing behind this man who is stinky from sweat in a tank top.

I, pull my hair around me (for some reason) and I discover a section of hair is ... "stuck".

I look ... and to my horror - two foot or so of my hair is stuck under the sweaty man's underarm who is before me in the grocery checkout aisle.

He moves (caused I pulled) and he looks under his arm and thus, drops my shard of "moist" hair.

....
....
....
I did not know what to do with that segment of hair (that rather looked like it had been "starched").

Could not wait to get out of that store, toss that very stinky mass of hair behind me and go home and shower!!!

BTW - my hair - when it was below waist length has been caught in car windows, elevator doors (try panic when that happens), car doors and electric car windows.

Ouch!
