I decided to drop by my dads house and guess what! We were able to reconsile our longhair differences. Once he saw it, it don't bother him, he actually kind of likes it. And, I haven't had as meany problems here in middle America with weird liiks, comments, etc.. as I thought I would... Intersting...
I kind of understand what happened before and now. Before, you talked to him on the phone, and he had never seen your hair yet, and he was probably worried that it may look bad on you. Now that he had seen your hair, he thinks it looks good on you after all. I am sure it is a big relief to you. As for my dad, since he sees me often, he had all the time to see my hair grow, but he sometimes thinks my glass is half-empty because my hair is longer than an average guy.
I don't have much interest going to the mid-west, but if I do have a chance, I will go, and I will not take destructive comments on my hair. Or I may get lucky. I had not been to the mid-west, so I don't know about those rumors.
Anyway, enjoy yourself.
Regardless
That's great to hear, man. I remember reading about your issues earlier and I felt bad for you. Glad to hear things are on the way up.

Glad to hear some positive news on the family front.Thats a major hurdle to get over having your dad accept your longhair.Now if only the rest of the world would think that way we'd be making great progress:)

Agreed. I already worked on my Father, and he decided I'm his son again :].
Hi Bill,
Well you are too nice a guy to be disliked by your dad just because of your hair.I'm glad that he has come to accept you for who you are.At least there is still hope for some of us.Also hope you are feeling better on the medical front.Take care my friend:)

I'm glad to hear this as I'm sure it was unpleasent a situation for you to deal with in the begining. It gose to show that you just never know until you talk it out with people.

Well done !
Congrats to you both for keeping communications and minds open.

Great news for sure! Glad your dad has finally gotten the message and has backed-off.
There is hardly ever a bad word spoken once a guys hair becomes really long. In fact, that is when people hand out verbal compliments! And these I am sure will be coming your way sooner than you might expect. :-)
Best of luck to you as you let your mane continue to grow.
Hi Mike,
It's greeat news that you were able to resolve things with you dad and get on with things. Somestimes it's best at least to try and talk it out.
Cheers,
