Because she is jealous, I take it is quite the compliment :).
1 year since my last hair cut. - 2 Months, 2 Weeks, 5 Days left.
Wooo hooo. Rock on brothers.
Hang in there, man. It's great that your mother is comming around. I'm in my forties and at first my mother was not thrilled about my long hair. The awkward stage puts most people off, even 'mothers'! My mother is now cool about my hair and even braids it for me. Now the 'big-bushy-beard' is another story... no acceptance there at all!
I agree with your mom... I think you would be even more handsome clean shaven... but hey thats just me.
