That's just crazy and stupid. I mean yes, balding young would definitely upset me a lot, because I've always taken a lot of pride in my hair, it's my crown. I'd definitely take your advice on that though 
I do see balding as all or nothing. I'd choose to shave my head bald before I'd let myself been with one of those pathetic combovers or rat-tails at the back with the hair that remains. You can't go half-measures with it, chop it off (which does look good on a lot of guys) or bring the money out for some good replacement options if you hate it that much.

All this talk of hair loss reminded me of this.
And yes, it's the right link. Just watch it.

I think the problem isn't so much with wigs, is that bald dudes will throw on the most hideous, obvious, mismatching toupee they can find, and I just don't understand it. You can get hair pieces that give ever such subtlety, realistic hairline and partings, that nobody would be able to tell if they didn't know.

Oh yeah, you definitely can.

Except he doesn't actually wear a wig, toupee or whatever you wanna call it. It's his real hair but it is thinning and that's why he styles it like that.

Ohh ok, didn't know that. I always assumed it was one of those stupid ill-fitting toupees, looks like it

: sigh : So busy but I'm posting these before I start in on my to-do list here at work and forget
My Baltimore trip:
Gettysburg - the view from Little Round Top
I would highly recommend a trip to Gettysburg to anyone who has never been there! It's beautiful and interesting and spend whatever you have to to get an in-car tour guide that will drive you around the park in your own car and tell you about the battle.

The Rehoboth, Delaware Beach where my sister's in-law have a beach house - the cutest little 700sf house all decked out with beach decor. The first thing my dad did when we got there was find a home depot and fix the crawl space access in the laundry room, lol

Rehoboth Avenue with Dolles Taffy in the backround

My brother-in-law, dad and sister playing the ski-ball horses at Funland on the Rehoboth Boardwalk - apparently my brother-in-law is obsessed with this game and has been since he was a little boy. We went home with 6 stuffed horses as prizes, most of which were surrendered to my sister's dog

The Ocean City, Maryland boardwalk with my oldest sister in the foreground - five miles of boardwalk!

George Washington's tomb at Mt. Vernon. I'd have shared a picture of the house but it was covered in scaffolding from the construction work they were doing to the roof. Just my luck...
![[Image: 28-George%20Washingtons%20Tomb_zpsuenbtycm.jpg]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=i1219.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fdd438%2Fkvanraden%2FBaltimore%2520Jul%252014-20%2F28-George%2520Washingtons%2520Tomb_zpsuenbtycm.jpg)
A demo of George Washington's gristmill, a working period mill that's so cool
![[Image: 29-Demo%20at%20Washingtons%20Gristmill_zpscwfwyopx.jpg]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=i1219.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fdd438%2Fkvanraden%2FBaltimore%2520Jul%252014-20%2F29-Demo%2520at%2520Washingtons%2520Gristmill_zpscwfwyopx.jpg)
George Washington's Distillery - they sell bottles of the rye whiskey (puke!) and brandy for about $175 a bottle! Yikes!!
![[Image: 31-Washingtons%20Distillery_zps1s1fwr3h.jpg]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=i1219.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fdd438%2Fkvanraden%2FBaltimore%2520Jul%252014-20%2F31-Washingtons%2520Distillery_zps1s1fwr3h.jpg)
The night before I left I drove up into Pennsylvania to meet Judi! This is Judi giving me a manicure - the pretense for letting me come visit her while she was in school She's so cool, y'all! And she's got a great, funny, charming daughter who is just a riot (Sorry for the blurriness, didn't check the photo after I took it)

Me and Judi right before I left

Alrighty, back to the grindstone - no rest for the weary! I really should have taken the rest of this week off to recover from this vacation... lol

I've heard of guys getting themselves castrated in order to 100% stop baldness. Yeah...some guys actually went that far.
I would have to be extremely vain to take those. Look at the side effect profiles. Decreased libido, impotence, ejaculation issues, gynecomastia, ...... Kinda of ruins the reason(s) for trying to keep your hair.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.
