I did it. And to be honest with y'all, I'm severely depressed.
Ummm, congrats? :-/ Sorry to hear it hasn't been the greatest experience, Greg...
The depression will subside, give it time. It's a new you, and you haven't even tried it out yet. Just remember to inhale & exhale, and it will bejus fine. That is unless you just did a short bob, featherback job, then you might be in trouble. JK?
Well, you're going to look funny for a few days, man. The mirror will not be your friend and you might be a little self-conscious. That's becauseyou're used to seeing the same look for a long time. A long time.<br>Change is a good thing and you did this for a reason; not some drunken boast. Focus on the task at hand. Before you know it - and once, maybe, you stopthinking about it - you'll recognize that chap in the mirror as the very same fellow who was there last week. The very same. In every way.

Greg, when I cut my hair a few months ago, I was in the "just get it over with and move on" phase. But when my daughter and I were in the chairs, alady walked up to my wife who was taking pictures of Melissa. She commented about Melissa getting all that long hair cut off, so my wife filled her in on whatwas going on. That included that Melissa's papa was in the chair next to her doing the same thing. The lady was overwhelmed, and said that she'd been acancer patient a few years ago. She said that she would NOT have left the house if it hadn't been for a wig from donated hair. She came back and thankedMelissa and me profusely. My "just get it over with" attitude quickly disappeared and I realized the order of magnitude of what we were doing.<br><br>"You done good." as my dad likes to say. And when you get the job, see if you can grow it out again and help someone else.<br><br>Jeff

Greg,<br>My hair hasn't brought me luck, fortune or fame. I grew up (debateable) in the 80's and fought with my parents every three months over getting ahaircut. I love it long. It's repulsive, ugly, rude, scary and disrepectful to most people. As you may know from an earlier thread. I cut my hair because afriend at work has cancer and his hair started falling out. I wanted to devert the attention away from him or at least let him know that it wasn't all thatbad having less or in this case no hair.<br>Your cause has great merrit in either way you look at it. More money and a better life? Someone less fortunate will also have a chance at a better life.<br>Congrats to you my friend!<br><br>Tim<br>Me and two of my grandsons.<br><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v104/beachbomb/DSC01820.jpg" alt="image"><br>My friend and coworker, Dennis and myself.<br>Bawld is beautiful!
