long gray hair part two

Thank you, thank you, thank you to all the wonderful people who offered support to me for keeping my hair long and gray. Thank you, DaveDecker, AnaisSatin, Eowyn, Supersugar, Grace 912, Susan W, harpgal and korskovhatt3. I was especially impressed that harpgal joined the group so she could give me support. I loved the comment from DaveDecker about growing a spine. I do have to be more secure with my choice. And I really loved the picture of Glenn Close (Thanks AnaisSatin). Whenever I get a little shaky I will read and reread these heartening posts. Thanks again to all

Glad to hear you won't be bullied. I like very long hair, my wife wears her past waist length and I am the only one who will touch it with scissors to touch up the ends. She has heard from so called caring friends who want her to chop it off. When I am around I tell them if they grew their hair out to a woman's length, they would not feel so inadequate and want my wife to cut hers. Our neighbor saw another Maury Povich show the other day where a woman with hair down to her knees was dragged on stage to get her hair cut off to appease "caring" family members. FRankly I think she should have given her husband a kick in the back side and told him if he doesn't like it long anymore (or more likely he is jealous of the attention it gets from other men, he is insecure) he can sleep on the couch. By all means so no to the scissor happy friends, put them on the defensive for even suggesting you cut your hair.

Exactly my thought, Anais. How in the world did I miss this thread??

Anyway... welcome eg888! How's that spine of yours these days -- nice and firm?

What a nice post, I hope eg888 is doing well.
