Peace...
Tristan
Hi Tristan,
As always, it is a genuine pleasure to hear from you, you are one of our most appreciated members, and your contributions to this community are outstanding. Your hair keeps getting better and better, it thick, with great natural waves, and your growth has taken off lately. It SURE looks cold with all that snow, we have had some snow here in Nova Scotia as well recently.
I agree there ARE a lot of new avatars, in fact, I have a new one, which shows my length a lot better. Your hair is a LOT longer than your avatar as well, and the avatar updates are no longer done by Oren. Chris H has taken over that duty for us on the hyperboard, with Kevin as backup, and both of them are to be commended for doing an outstanding job.
Take care,
David
Oh I wondered who had taken over the roll and they are both doing a sterling job and I amazed to see directory being updated so quick.
David I thought I was seeing double or I need glasses or I thought your avatar has updated earlier in the week!
Cheers,
John.B
Hi John,
Yes, I agree that both Chris and Kevin are doing an outstanding job, and they are getting the job done quickly and smoothly. I did update my avatar earlier in the week, after a few months with the old one. I felt my current length is shown better with my new one.
Cheers,
David
Hey David ...
Thanks so much for your kind words. I've really missed being around the past six weeks. My hair seems to have taken off on a growth spurt in the past couple of months despite the cold weather.. I'm thankful for that. The pictures were taken this am in the snow; but oddly enough the snow has really started dumping tonight.. a good night to stay inside.. :)
Take care my friend..
Tristan
Oh ... your avatar is great too ... It does show your length quite well..
Hey, it's great to see you around again, Tristan! I heard it was snowing back in Denver today, so these pics certainly confirm it. I really hope you've been able to get things straightened out and you are doing better in life. As you saw in my update, I'll be back out west starting next weekend. Really looking forward to it. Stay well and I'll see ya around... =)
-James
(PS -- The hair's looking really good, too!)
Hey James...
Thanks so much.. it really is good to be back. And yes .. the pictures were from the am today; but right after these pics were taken the snow really started coming down! We're under a heavy snow warning until tomorrow morning ... The slopes will be ready for your return as they have been hammered!
Take care and talk to you soon..
Tristan
Great pictures Tristan and I hope all is well with you and certainly a marked change and the 1/2 tail suits you well. The hair is looking great and always nice to hear from people when they have not been posting for a bit.
Well your lucky get snow, we may get one or two flakes in February and all the buses and trains stop, and we can't cope like they do in Scandinavia.
Great mane and do keep it growing.
Cheers,
John.B
Hi John...
Thanks so much for the response.. I love the half-tail option. Even though not all of my bangs stay in the tail; but, they're long enough to stay back which is nice - another month or two and the rest should stay in as well..
The snow is wonderful.. it was such a mild November here which is strange; but December so far has been wet.. which is great..
Take care and talk to you soon..
Tristan
Hey Tristan, what a great update. Your hair looks amazing. Wish I had all that fullness, etc. You pull that half tail off very nicely indeed. Keep it goin! Hope yer doin well.
Cheers,
Max
Hi Max..
Thanks for posting.. I sometimes wonder if the fullness of my hair is a curse ..lol. The mornings can be quite scary still. I still have to wet it to keep it somewhat tame.
Take care..
Tristan
Your hair looks awesome, Tristan. It's so thick! I bet it's keeping your ears warm in the snow, too. :-) And the halftail really suits you. It's only going to get better from here.
Mouse
Hi Mouse..
Thanks so much.. I have to say that I've missed your posts the past 6 weeks that I've been gone.. I'm glad to be back. Have you made anymore surprises on people??
I'm plotting one for next August.. Hopefully another 8 months of hair growth will put the icing on the cake for me..
Take care Mouse and talk to you soon..
Tristan
I got to royally surprise some friends out in Oregon. My longhair buddy didn't even recognize me at the airport at first. :-)
I think another eight months (four inches) will do wonders. That should allow it to be draping over your shoulders. Have fun plotting!
Mouse
Wow, just wow!
I cannot beleive the change! Definitely keep the beard too.
Hi Matt ...
I like the new handle ... although Bragi was cool too..
Thanks so much for the encouragement.. Everyday it just gets better and better..
Take care..
Tristan
Thanks Walter ...
Its been quite a ride so far..
Take care..
Tristan
Indeed, the northern climes ARE refreshing. GRRRRR8 t'see ya posting again, Tristan! Your half-tail and light moustache and goatee suit you. Ya look like an Irish freedom-fighter resistor against the legion of Empirical Roman occupiers in ancient Eire whenafer Padraig brought the Gospel after his enlightenment. Oh, the scripts, the scripts I've yet to write and recruit members for from the board here ... LOL!
Best Christmas wishes to you and yours, Tristan, Keep it goin' and growin'. Thanks for your comment on my formerly two-and-a-half inch bangs now turn'd long wavy locks from earlier back.
Carolling, carolling through the snow,
Quenyan
Hi Quenyan..
Thanks for posting..
Its good to be back.. I could stand to be an Irish freedom-fighter. Now where'd I put my sword? ... lol
Best holiday wishes to you as well...
Take care..
Tristan
Hey Tristan,
Good to see you again, man! I was just wondering about you; but, I've been away a lot myself recently, due to new job responsibilities, etc.
Anyway, the half-tail looks TERRIFIC on you, --- and WOW, I can't believe how quickly your hair has grown!!!! You are one of those lucky people whom Mother Nature has gifted w/ a heck of a lot of hair!!!
Take care, guy, --- and I miss seeing you in Chat, as we sure had a lot of good laughs!
- Ken
Hi Ken...
Thanks for responding.. and happy holidays to you.. sounds like work has got you pretty busy these days.. hopefully they decided to give you some more cash for the increased responsibilities!
I love the hair-tail.. although it needs to be just a bit longer for all of it to stay in the tie.. Amazingly; I'm just average on my growth rate.. it just looks longer for some reason.. I'm at 16 months and right at 8 inches.. but it is very thick..
Anyway; I'll see you in chat soon..
Tristan
Hey Tristan! That half tail is a cool style, looks great!
Keep up the good work!
Simon
Hi Simon ...
Thanks alot... its been a great journey so far.. (for the most part). I like your new avatar. Your hair is coming along nicely as well.. keep it up.
Take care..
Tristan
Aside from the great look of the half-tail, the addition of the stash and goatee really change your appearance. Lookin' good !!
WWT
WWT...
Thanks so much for posting..
The stash and goatee were kinda a last minute after thought.. not sure if I'll keep'em but we'll see.. Thanks for the compliments..
Take care..
Tristan
Tristan. Wow! A great look for you. Goat and stache sans shades suits you very well.
peace, jonalbear
Hi jonalbear...
Good to hear from you.. Thanks for responding so kindly.
I wish I had the genetics to really grow a full beard; but I'll remain happy with the thick hair instead.. at least I've got one of em right?
Take care my friend..
Tristan
Hi Tristan and glad to have you back on the site:)I have to say both those pics are excellent! Whoever took them knows how to capture a great image I would say.Of course your hair is looking fantastic in spite of the snow on it!LOL.Makes me feel very chilly as I would rather be in a warmer climate.Anyway hope to see more of you here as I enjoy your posts.Mark
Hi Mark..
You've had some great photo postings lately I must say.. keep em coming for sure..
Ironically; my photos were taken by my 9 year old daughter. She did really well as we were having some fun with the camera in the snow..
Thanks for the encouragement and take care..
Tristan
Your hair looks super Tristan. You have a lot more length now.
It may be time to update your avatar.
Scott
Hi Scott..
Thanks so much for posting.. My hair seems to grow about average I think ... but I think in terms of thickness I'm a bit above.. Mornings are still a nightmare..
Take care and hope to see you in chat soon..
Tristan
Hi Tristan,
your hair looks great buddy! Snow is indeed refreshing, though we don't get any down here in Southern California :( I hope that things progress the you want them to ;) Take care Tristan, and keep growing, you have awesome hair.
Danny
Hey Danny..
Thanks so much for the encouragement.. its been a great hair journey for the most part..
I can imagine you don't see much snow on the south side of California.. I used to live in Phoenix and we didn't see any there either... it was great if you like heat though... and lots of it!
Thanks again for posting..
Talk to you soon.
Tristan
Hey Tristan that picture looks so refreshing I can almost feel the wind :)
Man, those wavy locks are getting quite impressive Tristan. Looks fantastic, you have such thick hair! The facial hair rocks too!
Welcome back :)
Incidentally not all the upates show longer hair, the end of last month I cut mine back considerably as I didn't quite know what to do with it but it seemed way too long then. I might grow it longer from this point but not sure how far.
Hi Chris..
It was a pretty refreshing day that day.. Ironically; we got 8 inches of snow that day (Saturday) and another 4 inces last night ... and its still snowing.. It really is nice though.
Thanks for the compliment(s) on my hair ... now if only my wife would agree with you and everyone else here.. still workin on that part.. Its good to be back; I've missed most everyone here..
I'm going to look for your updated haircut in the archives .. but feel free to post some if you'd like.. I'm sure it looks great..
Take care Chris and talk to you soon..
Tristan
Good to have you back nad glad the hair is progressing for you.
The snow can be refreshing but is already getting on my nerves
with nedless clearing the driveway. Oh well global warming takes a holiday.
Keep growing as your just a little bit away from a full pony tail.
Take Care
Kevin
Hey Kevin ...
Thanks for the encouragement.. I'm really looking forward to a full pony tail.. It will be nice to be able to just throw it back and keep out of the way for a bit... I'm really sick of wearing bandanas... I've probably worn one consistently everyday for about 7-8 months... so any type of tail is a welcomed relief..
Yea ... Im getting pretty handy with a snow shovel myself.. lol.. Oh well; its all good... take it in stride I say..
Take care and talk to you soon..
Tristan
Wow, I hardly recognised you Tristan, thats a lovely shot and a really great look you have going there. Enjoy the weather and keep up the great growth!
WARM regards ~ Dave
Hi Dave...
How've you been? Thanks for posting.. This journey keeps getting better and better.. I still have a long way to go; but I know it'll be worth it..
Take care and looking forward to your next update..
Tristan
Nice to see you back, Tristan. I haven't been here much lately myself. Your hair is really getting some length to it. Looks good!
Carol
