How many of y'all took to growing facial hair when you left the morg? And, more importantly, were you disappointed when you could finally let yourself go with facial hair only to find out that all you could muster was some patchy peach fuzz? LOL I know many that were disappointed.

Just wonderin'...

Ron

If any women respond, I'm going to assume you have facial hair.

I've had a moustache since I got off my mission in 1977

My dh grows a beard, what's the big deal on facial hair anyway? It's never stopped him whatever it is.

I had a full, dead on dark red beard when I left. Now, 15 years later, it's 1/2 white. LOL Shila says it's sexy. I say it's age. :)

Ron

... there's enough hair on me arse to weave an Arapaho Indian rug and then some!

Timothy

Yuck, Timothy, too much visualization possible here!

I know men react with visceral fear on this subject, but perhaps a good waxing????? Your little tush would be bright and cheerful!

Waxing? Be a man, Timmy..... duct tape!

just sayin'...

Ron

I'm thinkin' blow-torch!

That's how to handle it in a "manly" fashion!

Timothy

Duct tape, shmuct tape, use a belt sander, Timothy!

I have it on the best evidence that duct tape tends to leave areas untouched....or rather still in their original, hairy condition. So, poor Timothy would have to endure several ductings to achieve a satisfactory result! But on the bright side, he WOULD prove his manliness!

I find nothing unmanly about that!

"several ductings"
I'm not likin the soound of that. I'm not likin the sound of that at all!

We women DO know what we're talking about. "Ductings" I said and indeed "ductings" I meant! Come on, Tim, that WOULD be a "manly" thing to do, i.e. to prove on the field of hygienic combat how brave you are!

Those of us more folically challenged in that area are jelaous of that hairy arse. And a man with a hairy anywhere is hot to me!!!

Grand Paw Paw (a never-mo) would have said,

“Why cultivate something on your face that grows wild on yer ass?”

Always got shit for it too going to church. Mission was the only time I've ever been completely clean shaven for longer than 3 days straight since my body pubated enough.

...and kept it the whole time I was in! Nobody ever said a word to me about it, including when I was a veil worker at the Boston temple.

I was a veil worker at the Mesa temple with a moustache and poneytail.

this summer, I'll shave tee to look like the dad on "junior vs senior" motorcylce rebuild show. I'm also getting a tatoo to match my marine son. Love wearing the wife beaters now, lifting weights, and tannin'.

But then my hairline started to recede. So I chopped my hair again. I didn't want to be "that guy".

I've had a full beard for years now. Three or four years ago I shaved then took a picture. After seeing how I look clean shaven I haven't shaved since. I'm about due for a trim now, starting to look like Grizzly Adams. Or Kenny Rogers.

As soon as I got home from the mission I grew a goatee. The only time anything was ever said was when I was in the singles ward. The Bishop was tough in that type of thing.

Mine's gray and scraggly, makes me look like a wino.

rubbed all my hair of my head on the headboard!

Besides, I'm going through menopause and starting to grow a moustache so I almost qualify. ;)

of course. But I qualify! I have one black hair that grows at the corner of my mouth. I pull it out with a tweezers when it grows long enough for me to feel it flapping around. About 3/8's of an inch.

I WILL NOT tolerate a moustache on my face.

Men, on the other hand, are welcome to them. ;)

My job wouldn't let me have facial hair for the brief time I was a member, so it didn't really matter.

I have a goatee and my wife won't let me grow a mustache or she 'withholds' certain things and I like those certain things very much so I keep that nice.

If I want to look 3-4 years older I keep it grown out. If I want to look 3-4 years younger - I shave. I never look my age (got my momma's looks thank God).

As soon as I returned from the mission, I grew a moustache and had long sideburns. I shaved those off after about 3 years cause I got tired of it.

I've gone scruffy for up to a week, now and then, but there's way too much gray in there now to grow anything permanent.

But, I've always wondered why the church has such a burr under its saddle about facial hair. Didn't God create us with it? And since every prophet up to David O. McKay had a full beard, growing one or not seems to just be about appearances and nothing else.

I don't think I ever saw a pic of Joe with a beard...

just sayin'

Ron, I hope you are recovering well from you surgery. hope it's all going great for you.

Yer young pup, Yer Young Pup!
