And they are good in a forensic architectural way, because you can do a cross section through them and list the various meals you had since your last shave... :0 hope you are well Linda Interestingly enough I shave by feel now, I do a better job than when I look at what I'm doing. Hopefully I wont wake up with someone elses face one day - that would mean I'd have to learn hw to do it all over again...Andrew Finniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08877768852340470022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6639676523379057364.post-26981004650383020282014-07-03T07:35:48.959-07:002014-07-03T07:35:48.959-07:00The last time I had a beard was about 13 years ago...The last time I had a beard was about 13 years ago. I was around 40 and my beard had come in all gray. A co-worker guessed my age at 65.

I admit to liking a goatee, though it depends on the guy. And though my dad had several different beards, and often none, he also went through a toupee period. Of many years. Yikes!<br /><br />Terrific drawing - really cool combination of styles. Sometimes it's neat to see older stuff. :)Cindy D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14818401562297915046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6639676523379057364.post-7604754877400512672014-07-02T04:54:16.901-07:002014-07-02T04:54:16.901-07:00Thanks Jane!Thanks Jane!Linda Hensleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11929626735450807904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6639676523379057364.post-12238694679849050612014-07-01T08:26:26.574-07:002014-07-01T08:26:26.574-07:00This is a lovely piece!

As for visiting and comments, I love seeing what other people are doing, and I return visits too. I just wish I had more time to do it. It's been a long time since I've gotten new followers too. Maybe everyone feels like it's too much of a commitment?Linda Hensleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11929626735450807904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6639676523379057364.post-8697249932071152862014-06-30T06:06:18.164-07:002014-06-30T06:06:18.164-07:00Great b/w illustration!

And you want to get as many as possible. But the more you get the more blogs you need to visit. ( I return comments to all of mine) My main problem is followers. I only get a new one every few years. Sniff. I might have an idea about your issue though. I had to start typing in your blog address. Now my browser remembers you. But when I click on your comment there is no link to your blog anymore. Only an email.Sharon Wagnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01683868787160249441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6639676523379057364.post-12970049641812560282014-06-30T04:47:28.731-07:002014-06-30T04:47:28.731-07:00I think sideburns would be funnier than beards Ter...I think sideburns would be funnier than beards Terri :) And it is strange when bearded men shave Nancy. At least facial hair gives men a way to express themselves?<br /><br />I think maybe everyone goes through a period when they realize their parents aren't all-knowing and powerful. Passing them in age gives everything a new perspective.

And recently I've become okay with beards on guys as long as they're well maintained and not a neck beard or Duck Dynasty style – those are just nasty.
