<< Bet
you love David Duchovney too huh? He's pretty odd,
especially as Mulder. My husband looks so much like
him the kids thought he was him on a video. >>

I looked to find (but failed to find) an online copy of a painting they sell
on posters and stuff at the Yorvik Viking center. I bought a linen dish
towel of it. It's a Viking guy reconstructed from a grave find--they
reconstructed the face from the bones. It's exactly like my husband Keith.
So we had it hung up for a long time, and people who knew him would come in
and say "Who are those other people?" (there are some miniature other people
along the bottom, or "WOW! and realize it wasn't Keith by the fact it was
from England and he'd never been there.

So my husband looks like a dead guy.

But with all his hair cut short and his beard trimmed close, he used to look
like Glen Campbell.

I don't know if he would anymore and would just as soon not see him shorn,
and I don't know what Glen Campbell looks like now anyway.

Mine resembles, somewhat in looks but more in character, Jamie Fraser of

I sure don't want to see mine shorn. Last spring he promised Lars and the
other boys he coaches for soccer that he'd shave off his beard if they won
the district cup. They did, and then they (kids *and* their parents) all
trooped down to the barber shop to watch it come off. Me? I went to
town. It had finally grown back and was looking good again when he
promised his baseball kids that he'd either shave his head or dye his hair
blue if they won the provincial championships. At least this time he left
the choice up to me, because they did win. I went for the blue. Very
temporary blue. <g>

I think now he realizes that the boys really want to win and don't need
those kinds of incentives. I hope....

Glen Campbell is a resident of Phoenix (or Scottsdale or Paradise Valley - in the Phx area) and I recently saw him on our local news show.

He still looks and sings about the same as he always did - always shows up with his guitar in hand.

Cacie's dad (who has never been my husband) looks like Hulk Hogan, and
also like... um, blanking on his name, the rock singer from the 60s and
70s who had the long blonde hair and beard.

Actually, he lost a bit of weight and cut his hair short, so he doesn't
look like them so much anymore. He decided his bald spot was getting too
big for long hair, I think. He looks much better now, but people actually
did used to come up to him and ask if he was Hulk Hogan.

Luckily, Cacie is my clone, except for his eye color (slightly greener
than mine) and chin cleft (which she hates but I think is darling).

When my son was little and going into his first bed, we asked him what kind

They didn't make them. He settled for kitties.

Whenever my little kids see Tom Selleck on television, they think it is dh.
I see a strong resemblance but always thought he had a lot of Peter Sellers
thrown in....just to make it interesting.

I, on the other hand, look more and more like the Michelin Man as the years
go by. <sigh>

I've had a full beard continuously since 1985. Every time I get a hankering
to go bare faced Jocelyn kind of gives a sigh of trepidation which gives me
pause. When I discuss the idea with Matthew (they look at my mug way more
than anyone else, including me) he says in one form or another NO WAY! So I
settle for a very short haircut and beard trim. When I've mentioned this to
other bearded parents they almost always have similar stories. I wonder if
its just resisting any kind of change or messing with there sense of
identity?

<< Every time I get a hankering

When Holly was little and cute (damn, she still is), she sat on her daddy's
lap and felt his beard and said "Take it off!" They talked about it and she
said she wanted to see what he looked like without it.

So he walked two blocks to an old-fashioned barber, and came back with his
face AND head shaved.

Fortunately, it wasn't the first time I'd seen either, although it was the
first time I'd seen both at once.

<< I wonder if its just resisting any kind of change or messing with there

Maybe both.
Also, that shaved-ness lasts only a few hours before the very uncomfortable
stubble comes. At least beards are fairly soft.

Long ago before kids, Keith was living in Salt Lake City, working in a
geology lab, and part of his job was to drive to well-drilling sites and pick
up core samples. Not only did the drillers want some news about where they
were underground, but there's a map building of all the underground, and the
analysis of those cores helps.

I knew that.

I knew he would have to carry a gas mask in case of on-site emergencies.

One morning at 6:00 a.m. or so, the doorbell rang. I was disoriented and
very sleep, and stumbled to the door wearing nothing but a t-shirt and
panties. I was much littler then... (note for those who know me now)... BUT
anyway there is a REALLY scary guy, just looking at me. I squinted. He
looked at me. I looked at his dog. Keith's dog. I looked at his truck.
Keith's truck. I looked at him again. REALLY SCARY GUY.

So these gas masks don't work unless you're clean-shaven.
And he had driven 15 miles to surprise me.

So he owned the house and all, so I let him in. But I could hardly look at
him.

At least he still had nearly waist-length hair.

So years passed. I was pregnant with Kirby, and Keith had finished an
engineering degree, and he didn't have a job. He really needed a job, but
one interview at Honeywell didn't go perfectly well. So our gay hairdresser
friend said "Come over," and when we left Keith had his hair cut so that I
could see the Glen Cambell in him. I had gotten mine cut too, so it was even
shorter, just for support and so his was longer. I looked (just for that
evening) like something out of a soap opera--poofed and moussed on top, and
shaved behind. We went to several friends' houses, rang the doorbells and
said "BOO!!"and they were as scared as when I met Keith on the porch that day.

A couple of nights later, I turned over in the bed, rearranging myself in my
sleep, and accidently touched that really short hair on the back of Keith's
head. I woke up and jumped back and vocalized (didn't yell, but made some
grunt) and it woke him up. I thought there was a stranger in the bed with me.

So I have a lot of experience with "IT" whatever it is, Dan, though I'm still
not sure how to describe "it."

If Keith were a bearded actor he could play all kinds of interesting people,
but if he were a clean-faced actor he would have to play mean guys who slam
people up against walls in alleys and then hurl them into dumpsters. That's
all.

I watched Black Adder's Christmas last night because I'd read that Robbie
Coltrane played the ghost. I'd watched it many times before, but I watched
the ghost scene twice. Just like he did as Hagrid, he knocked the door right
down flat. Just as he did as Hagrid, he come in all scary, but then sat down
and talked about family history and honor. <g>

I wonder if the Harry-Potter-author lady had seen that, and pre-cast Hagrid
while writing, and THAT's why that scene went just so?

I think it's both - change is bad, and a change in identity is REALLY bad

- and both the kids hate it.

Maybe they just like the way you look ;-)

Nah. My mom came home once when I was about 7, her blonde hair dyed black.
My sister and I shrieked and spent an hour in our room crying. She undyed it.

For me, I think it was that if my mom could change so fundamentally on the
outside, she could change inside too -- and not love me or be the person I
needed to count on. Both my kids, when they were little, objected to
occasional nail polish. Now, Emma wears it herself. I think it was about
security, for us.

My S.O. has a mustache and chin beard (it's not really a goatee since it's
rounded and covers about a third of his jawline either way - what do you call
that?) which doesn't quite reach the mustache. I've seen his pictures
without either -- I wouldn't want him to go there again. He's handsome
either way, yes, but this way he looks medieval. And, I like the difference
between us when kissing. And yes, it's not as prickly as "shaved a while
ago".

My dh has a beautiful mustache that he has had for 20 some years. I love
it. He has shaved it off two different times and I hated it. I think he is
much more attractive with it (which I feel bad about but he has a thin
upper lip and the skin between his lip and nose is puffy and sticks out
and I just don't like it)! He has grown a goatee and I am not crazy about
that either, although I would love to see a full beard someday. Dh is
dark haired and with the goatee he looks sinister and I can never tell
if he is smiling or happy. He is a very happy go lucky person, always
upbeat and the additional facial hair of a goatee makes it hard to
see this in him. Sure wish I had a scanner hooked up its interesting
to compare the looks LOL.

If Dan were a non-bearded actor, he'd have to play 14 year olds. At least
that's about as old as he looked when we got married and he was clean
shaven. I felt like I was robbing the cradle. Of course, that was a few
years ago, so now he might be up to playing 20 year olds.

BTW, he wasn't clean shaven *just* for our wedding, it was for some job
interview with The Man. He ended up working for a scene shop that summer
after all, so the shaving was for naught.

Hee. Now those are some pictures we ought to scan in.

OH!
I forgot to say that after Keith went back to Honeywell to interview for
another position, with the short haircut, one of the four or five
interviewers told him later that for *that* job he wouldn't have had to have
cut his hair.

He's still at Honeywell, 16 years soon, and his hair and beard are back.
They've been on and off--he used to get me to cut his hair about half an inch
long all over once a year. It grows out really nicely--a couple of stages in
the growing out looked really fancy and styled. And on the anniversary of it
he'd get me to cut it again. He's cheap. And not vain. What can I say?

Ah Peggy. I know how much you like Jamie. %^)
Remember I said more in character than looks. <g> Rod is tall, big,
blonde, and has a greying red beard. He also has a rather large belly (to
match mine) which Jamie would never have had. And as far as I know, he's
never worn a kilt. His background is half Swedish and half German.

Now in terms of honour, and trustworthiness, and kindness, and a whole
bunch of other traits, he does resemble Jamie.

Maybe your beard grows as fast as Rod's. When he does shave, he gets no
close contact unless he's *just* shaved. (When we first started going out,
he was just growing in his beard and I got a staph infection from the
irritation.)

>When I discuss the idea with Matthew (they look at my mug way more

Lars was the opposite. He wanted to see what his father "really looked
like". Then, at that time he was keeping his own hair really short. Now
that he seems to be letting it grow....(praise Dodd and don't let the kid
know I like it) he may have a different opinion. Then again....he seems to
be scraping off what's starting to grow on his own chin.

I'm actually hoping that Rod will grow both hair and beard really long once
it's all grey. %^)

When Rod shaves his beard, he always leaves the mustache and mutton chop
sideburns. Makes him look like a used car salesman.

Hey! My dh - Bryan works at Honeywell too! Been there for coming up on 17 years now.
So Keith survived the latest layoffs? They were brutal - Bryan says they were cutting into the bone this time.
A friend of ours who has worked at Honeywell as long as Bryan has waist length hair - apparently it's not much of a problem.
