Sorry for the delayed response pb dealing w a sick little girl still... but glad you're back pal and sorry for your loss. I think you and I discussed privately I know what you're going through lost my dad goin on 2 years ago and im only 31. Hang in there my man

I'd rather watch paint dry than tune into the ball game but I did happen to check the score yesterday. I wonder if your Pops had anything to do with the Mets winning. You know, performing a miracle like that. Giggle. I bet that win put a smile on your face Perfect Father's Day gift.

Jaysus. Has it been that long since he's been a regular poster? Time flies.

My hair and facial hair is still brown. Every time I shave my facial hair I'm worried about grey coming in. Still don't have any lines on my forehead nor crow's feet. Turning 30 is the fucking worst. I spend hours in front of the mirror worrying about the aging process.

Hoping he is doing better now.

He still posts here the odd time. He might post more frequently on the other side but I got banned from there within a few minutes after they found out who I was so I wouldn't know LOL.

Turning 30 this coming week at last. Definitely difficult times to say the least which even I hadn't anticipated... I say somewhat thankfully I never even got to worry about graying or losing hair beforehand, even though I have been struggeling with the latter since, but I am fairly certain it isn't because of my ageing process.

One thing I've inherited is a solid head of hair. My brothers all started getting grey hairs when they turned thirty but I haven't (touch wood). I'm convincing myself I'll turn out different because my hair is brown and theirs is black.

I remember my older sister coming home as a thirtysomething for the first time years and me remarking on how old looking she got.

I'm not laughing now!

Somewhere out there Pizzaboy is laughing. The childish punk who caused him agita is now in his thirties. Laugh it up Pizzaboy, laugh it up.

I did as well, and I was told I had very thick hair, and thickest out of us all while my brother didn't when he was little and he has thick dark blonde hair instead. Our older brother, he's has dark brown hair but got grey hair I believe before 25 - my aunt got grey hair at 18!! (still I didn't start worry about grey hair, that's what I wanted to mention before), my brothers both similar full head hairline of our grandfather on mom's side, our grandfather on fathers side had less hair and my father similar not completely bald baldness like his dad - not too bad looking baldness fortunately. I have dark brown hair, (and a darker sun tan) the most dark haired one in my family among all I met, grey hairs started to appear 5-6 years ago and I freaked! Then they disappeared and reappeared and so on and this went on on and off for maybe around a years time. The only hairs that aren't dark brown are TWO... like sort of half silver hairs at the top (LOL). Then even worse than graying, some years after my hair started thinning, and this has been going on in the same very strange fashion... the hair loss stops and starts the same damn way. I experienced years before the graying thing my hair on the top basically stopped growing at a certain length. But I'm positive what this all is about, I have lived with tons of stress and depression since in my youth.

I just wanted to say I'm sorry I didn't mean for a thread about PB to turn into a thread about baldness!

If you're worried about balding at least there's more options now than there ever was. Hair transplants look pretty good now.

I have never even tried any products for that, so it isn't too bad in my own opinion. What's mostly been having me indecisive is that it can look different each day just like I mentioned about greying, and even after just having gotten a couple of hours of fresh air and a good day in general I like to think that is almost always giving me a reboost of sorts, and I might feel worse letting my hair grow in an unnatural way. But again I know what I've gone through, there are several reasons. I have had many and many bad days where I've felt the need to use non-liquid hand soap for my hair.

I always liked ya, Moe. If I was acting like the proverbial cranky old man it was because I shouldn't have been posting so much in the OC threads to begin with. Having grown up where and when I did made me quick to dismiss the opinions of others. And I was never more unfair than when interacting with people who didn't grow up around the subject matter, especially when I was going back and forth with Europeans such as yourself. I'm sorry for that but I'm afraid I can't change in that regard. Hence why I'm back but not really planning on posting in those threads. Except maybe here and there where the subject matter isn't too close to home. Like guys who are long dead or not Bronx based lol.

No offense taken, PB. You know more about this thing than I do (obviously) and I know I probably came across like an ass once or twice. You're very knowledgeable and always post good shit. No offense intended on my part. Always good to see you post.
