Hi Guys
I hope you all are doing great. It seems that way from looking at the great progress pics and reading the usual great comments.
I am still around and haven't cut my hair yet (I have learned not to make big predictions about goals I don't seem to keep LOL)
Third time doing this, and I don't know when I stopped getting it cut again. Maybe I will do better if I am rather vague about the whole thing :)
Chris your hair is looking great. Vagueness is totally acceptable in my book!
peace, jonalbear
I tend to be equally comfortable with long or short but I have noticed that I have spent most of the last few years with longer hair and it seems to be what I end up with.
I don't think about it all the way I did when I first wanted to grow it out, then I was in such a hurry. Now I make no promises about what I will do or goals I might have, they seem to conflict with other things in my life.
For now just wanted to see how everyone was and say hi.
Hi Chris! Great to hear from you :)
First Luckskind, now you... looks likes the "old guard" is returning to MLHH!

Hey Val!
Great to hear from you. Happy belated birthday to your 3 year old son. The picture of both of your sons is terrific.
With all that long golden hair they will have to beat the girls off with sticks :)
Hope all is well with you. I was happy to see Luckskind was back posting too. So many new people, this place is doing great!
Thanks for the birthday wishes and compliments on my sons, Chris. It's this sense of "community," kindness, and friendship that makes the MLHH such a unique place in cyberspace. You've been missed... I hope the journey back to longhairdom goes well for you, and if for some reason it doesn't, I hope you'll stick around, anyway :)

Hi Chris,
Welcome back and nice to see you. The hair is looking great and good to see you letting it grow.
Nice to see some of the old faces popping back again :-)
Cheers,
John.B
Hey John
I hope all is well with you and thanks for the welcome back.
As for the hair, let's just say that I seem to have a tangled relationship with long hair :)
I haven't been so successful at keeping long hair, it's like the old joke about someone being great at quitting smoking, they've done it four times already.
Well in that case I am "great" at growing hair LOL
Third time's the charm, maybe ?
Another picture from today.
Hi Chris,
It is so good to hear from you, and cheers to you on your latest long hair growing journey. You are doing very well, and that silver streak is awesome!
I hope you are feeling better these days, and that you are feeling a lot brighter as well. I look forward to seeing you around more often, and by all means, keep in touch.
Take care,
David
Hi David
Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate it. I am still dealing with the same health issues and until that is firmly behind me, the whole longhair thing is not a certainty.
I hope retirement is treating you well :)
Take care
Looks good - forget silly ideas about cutting.
Thanks a lot! I will try and remember LOL
Whatever makes YOU happy is the only goal worth aiming for.
Good Luck and Best Wishes
That is true but sometimes it helps to be reminded of it :)
Thanks Luckskind!
It's great to see you posting again too.
--------------------------
You have a really great mane, Chris. Hopefully you will just let it grow this time around.
Scott
I don't want to jinx myself by worrying about it too much. I have noticed that the decision to let it grow or cut it certainly became easier with time. For now I will let it do its thing.
Thanks Scott for the kind words and encouragement, I wish I had the clear certainty of most of the people here about what I wanted, but pesky life can complicate things )
Looking great Chris!
Nice to see you here again.
- Oren
Thanks a lot Oren, I missed seeing all you wonderful guys and hanging out online.
I'm doing fine. Good to hear from you. Whatever works for you and keeps you happy is the best thing to do. You seem to have found that.
I was so impressed with your 41 month update, youlook terrific. Keep growing it just gets better and better as you do.
Take care!
Hi Chris,
It's great seeing you drop in again after such a long absence and I certainly hope life for you is doing better than from what I last remember.There does seem to be a resurgence of past board users making a comeback:)Hopefully its not just temporary.Your hair looks great and certainly is classic Chris!However you ultimately decide to wear it length wise is certainly your choice.Anyway thanks for stopping back to check in with us and hope to see you again soon my friend:)Cheers
Mark
Hey Mark, great to hear from you, thanks for the kind words! I missed hanging out with my friends here :)
I have learned not to make big goals or predictions about what I am going to do but for now but I will do my best to come here when I can. Last few times I went all out for awhile and then just dropped out.
I will have to strive to be more moderate LOL
Anyway hope all is well with you my friend!
Hey Chris,
It's great to see you here again. The hair is certainly looking good and you have excellent genes for long hair should you continue on your journey. I hope you do! :)
Stick around, our community has missed you!
Best,
Jason
Hi Jason,
Thanks so much for the kind encouragement and the welcome back. I have missed the community here, that has always been my favorite thing about this place.
I really like the new hair color Jason, it is very cool and I am glad it actually helps your hair. You're like a mythbuster :)
Cool skiing picture update too!
Take care
Great to hear from you, Chris. Your hair looks pretty good, and hope things are going well for you in general.
Frodo
Thanks so much I really appreciate it, hopefully things for me will stay steady enough that I can post here more and keep up with all of you excellent longhairs :)
Hey Chris! :-)
So nice of you to post this and wonderful to see you back here. The hair (the way it is right now) looks great, in fact, despite all, I think you are the type that can pull-off just about any hairstyle.
For those that may not know, Chris was with this board for years and did so much for it. And as a moderator was nothing short of the greatest!
My best to you Chris and hope you have been well and enjoying life.
Justin~
(The now "retired" and "retarded" elder one-time pres.) LOL :-)
hi Justin
wonderful to hear from you and thank you so much for your overly generous compliments! I hope things are going well for you in all areas of life. Hope to continue hanging about here even if it's not as much as I once did. I don't want to use it all up and once and fade away again LOL
Take care my friend!
Hey Justin
Great to hear from you, thanks so much for your overly generous compliments, I am not worthy :)
I hope to post more here, give me something to do while the hair grows back!
I hope things are going well for you in life and you are content, take care my friend. Hope to continue the conversation :)
Hi Chris,
Well, I had every intention of just doing lurking-only this morning; but seeing you post after such a long absence inspires me to at least shout you an enthusiastic hello!!
No worries about vagueness, my friend, as sometimes that can be the better virtue in some situations in life... "Just go with the flow!"
It's TERRIFIC to see you back here again!
And now, back to lurking,,,
- Ken
Hey Ken
Great to hear from you! Lurking is better than not showing up, which unfortunately I have done for too long! My life just had a few too many variables to be able to keep to my goal.
Glad you posted, I hope all is well with you.
Take care
Your hair looks good, Chris! And I like how you put one side behind your ear. :)
Thanks so much for the kind words Laura, it'a always a pleasure to hear nice things from the ladies here :)
As for my hair position, it does what it wants usually regardless of my wishes (like everyone's). I never even would have noticed the ear thing if you hadn' mentioned it. I had to go back and look at the picture again. LOL
I am glad I went back through old posts or I would have missed yours.
Take care!
