Random thoughts thread

His dad still has a ton of hair at 60. And still a nice-looking man. Hell, his 80-something Grandpa still has a decent amount of hair.

Doesn't mean as much as youd think it does.

Nobody on my mom's side or my cousin's dad's side was bald either, and he started losing it badly by his early 30s.

I believe it depends on the women in the family, not the men as well.

did we put cmj to sleep? Kids these days. Wussified and falling asleep before midnight.

And he stayed up just to catch Rum Brooklyn. It's like a kid staying up to catch Santa Claus then falling asleep right before he comes.

I have not, but I welcome your input into my house stranger. For seriousness, who are you and when did you get to this thread?


It's a little bit like reader comments when a less frequent poster pops in, haha.[/QUOT

Yes, the most reliable predictor is what your mom's dad looks like, as male pattern baldness is a recessive trait carried on the X chromosome.

that would be the 80 year old grandpa. DH certainly appears to have his dad's hair. I wish my hair would be that thick

I guess the 5 year old Pantsy picture is being described as "an adorable little John Denver."

Compliment or insult?

Actually, that's prolly residual from NW having a quote snarfl in his post she quoted.

But yeah, she was like a hungry shark there.

I usually just talk about myself.

If you're newer in the group you're better off being part of the conversation but not making yourself overly known.

I think it was NW's quote that was messed up

wdsm, don't talk about yourself. I don't think most of us are pantsy level. Ask them about themselves. Ask about their job. If they live not in Iowa, ask them about that. Like "I hear the brisket is awesome in Texas, do you have a favorite place?" Or ask which team they are following this weekend.

WDSM, don't listen to cowgirl. Go up to everyone you see and say "I'm a Cyclone, you're not a ****ing hawkeye are you?"

I will agree most aren't on my level.

One thing that really helped me in my career was talking about myself, though. I was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder and hated being in groups of people. I had zero confidence. I just started taking it. And if you fake confidence enough, eventually it becomes true confidence because you see "holy crap, I am actually good at what I do!" and develop into that person.
