I don't post too much here anymore, but can be found lurking on a regular basis. I have hit the 3 year mark; never thought I would actually get here, but here I am.
So here is a rare "old fart" update @ the 3 year mark.
All of the support from here is appreciated!
Hi George, good to see an update from you. Congrats on hitting the three year mark. Your hair looks excellent! I too, have been posting more sporadically, but do try to peek in regularly.
Take care,
Bruce
Thanks, Bruce, I appreciate the comments.
You've got a great look there George and a fine result for 3 years. Congrats and well done!
Kevin
Thanks Kevin; I like the look myself now that it has some decent length!
Hey, Big George. From one old fart to another, congrats on your 3-year mark. Great looking hair. Keep it growin' and flowin'.
TLH
Thanks TLH; I do plan to keep it growing, but will do a trim or two this year to even everything out.
Looks great!! Hope it keeps growin for ya. Whats your goal length?
Much appreciated, Q! I plan to get about another 4 inches or so even after a trim. But every time I hit a goal length I want MORE MORE MORE, so no telling . . . .
Wow looking wild and cool George, that beard goes so well with the hair.
Congratulations!
Cheers Dave
Thanks Dave; high praise from the original "wild man look" here!
Congratulations, George!
Ed
Thanks much!
Hi George,
Well from another old fart hair is looking great.
Cheers.
John.B
Thanks John; we "old farts" do what we can"!
OLDE? Ha Ha Ha. Why, but just a mere teen compared to a fossile. LOL
The hair is looking great! :-)
Many thanks Justin; but I'm not that far behind you either!
Hi George,
Congratulations on 3 years of ghrowing, to my "junior" by 4 months! Your hair is looking great these days, with more and more natural silvers all the time. You should be able to grow it a lot longer if you wish!
Cheers,
David
Thanks, POPS, I will have to just see where it goes. I appreciate your support!
You didn't say how old you are, but your hair looks thicker than mine. Looks good!
Thanks Pat, and FYI I just turned 55.
3 feet in length as well.
Scott
Hi Scott,
Sometimes my jokes fall flat, I guess. Scott, I'm 55 years old as well, --- we're the same age! My apologies if my silliness got you wondering a bit....
Take Care,
Ken
Hey George, congrats on your three year mark! Looking very fine indeed...from one old fart to another.
Cheers,
Max
Thanks, it is appreciated! Getting that salt & pepper look down pat. Just hope I don't run out of pepper!
Your hair looks absolutely fantastic, George.....I love the colour !! The smile need major work though.....then again, I suppose you old guys don't have much to smile for, HUH??
HA!
Thanks for Sharing
Walter
Thanks Walter! And I'm not much on posing for self photos, as you have noticed! But you work with what you have . . . .
Hi George!
Congrats on your milestone as your hair looks very cool.I actually like the colouring in you top pic but I'm not sure if that's an accurate representation of your real hair colour.You know internet photos can be deceiving.Anyway looks great anyway you slice it my friend:)
Mark
Thanks Mark! My hair is darker overall, but I have a couple of racing stripes from both temples that show up quite a bit in this photo. You can really see it in this shot of my tail:

Hi George,
Hey that's really a cool effect to your hair and to think its all natural too!I can imagine all the women who pay big bucks to achieve that colouring.LOL.Looks very cool:)Thanks for the additional pic my friend.
Mark
Looks Great!
At least "Old fart" has what it takes to keep going and doesn't get a hair cut like some of us young(er) farts do..
Keep up the great work..
Tristan
Thanks; I thought about it a couple of times, but figured this might be my last shot, so I better stick with it!
I'm certainly glad you did!!!
---------------------
Your hair looks great, George. You are another MLHH success story. Keep it growing for sure.
Scott
Thanks Scott; I plan to continue on for a while at least; maybe just a little trimming to even it out now that I have the length.
Hi Big George,
Hey, I think you look hands-down FANTASTIC for being 75!!!
As for me, well... I'm still only 24 (cough cough), --- I just look like hell for my age, that's all (I guess I must have lead a hard life - LOL)....
All kidding aside, I like the current hair length on you very, very much, --- and, better yet, I think the goatee is a GREAT compliment to go with it! This is the first time I've ever seen you w/ facial hair, in fact. To my eyes, you look very distinguished this way!!
I don't post here as often as I used to, either. I miss it; but, I also like my "new" job too much to complain, really. I just made it past the 3 - year mark at this job, as a matter of fact! I only do a few gardening jobs nowadays, because supervising and cooking at this nursing home keeps me way too busy. I have a nice bunch of co-workers, plus a WONDERFUL boss (even used to be quite a longhair when he was younger, --- so, no wonder he's so exceptionally pleasant - LOL)....
The only thing I don't like about this job is that the commute to/from work/home takes up a much longer time than I'm used to doing everyday, --- so, I frequently sleep overnight in my little office room (it has a sofa-bed). That saves me both time and gas $$. But, free time to go play on the computer is rare nowadays.
Hope you are well, and that life is treating you well! You're certainly looking healthy, happy, and best of all.... HAIRY!!!! (And, not a day over 29... Well, OK then, maybe just like me... let's say: "not a day over 39!"
Long Lox 4ever,
Ken
Hi again, George,
Just thought I might need to clarify my intent in my weird humor above, since Scott misunderstood my comment to him, below...
I know you're not 75 (and I'm NOT 24), --- I'm 95... and you're not a day over 34! There. Now that I think I've finally clarified everything, we can all move forward as more knowledgeable longhairs on this topic...
I have no clue why I keep telling and re-telling jokes about my age and others'... I guess it's just "Old Fart Humor" (lol), --- I'll grow up I suppose someday. BUT, probably not until I turn 96!!!
Take care, George, you are lookiin' GREAT!!!!
- Ken
Hi Ken, Old Farts don't grow up - they shrink down and grow out sideways!
Best,
Duncan (a young Old Fart in training!)
You got that right! It's already started.
The reason we retell the same jokes over and over is because our old fart friends can't remember them from day to day!
When my dad was in his early stages of Alzheimer's he told me to get him a book for Christmas, it would be the perfect gift. He could read it over and over again as if it were new!
And once again, thanks!
As long as I don't look like hell for being 75 I'm OK!
I appreciate your comments; my 16 year old daughter was the one wanting me to grow the goatee, so I did a few months ago; I like it with the hair also! And it's probably all the gray that lends the distinguished look, my distinguished friend!
And life is beginning to get better now! Thanks.
Looks great,Jorge,If I had hair as straight as yours I would absolutely grow it to the floor!Take care.
I already tell people that haven't seen me in quite a while I have hair that touches the floor. I just don't tell them I am laying down when it happens!
Thanks for the comments!
It looks mighty fine to me Big George!
Frank
Thanks Frank! I am pretty pleased with it also, other than it being too thin, too fine, too short, and too gray!
Congratz on reaching the 3 years! I also like the goatee on you.
Thanks Vincent, I appreciate the comments!
What a great mane! I really like how the bangs arch in the first picture.
Mouse
Many thanks, Mouse! I can only do that when I am not trying; any effort at all completely defeats the purpose!
