Cal, where do you go to get a haircut in Martin? There have been times I would have sure done it, but there are no barbers on Main Street since Gus Jonas died and Mitch Clark retired. You are probably too young to have ever had a "Gus" haircut.


Soapweed, I remember my dad getting those Gus Jonas haircuts, but I never did. Don't think my grandma would of let him.
I usually get a haircut at one of those walk-in places in Rapid City in the mall, or else a place downtown.
My wife got one of those flowbee haircut deals that hooks up to a vaccum cleaner, but not doing that again unless she allows me to reciprocate. Wink

A couple years ago I was lying on the couch reading when my oldest daughter started pulling at something in my hair. I asked Paigy what she was doing and she said something was in my hair. My wife was in the glider near the end of the couch and could see the whole thing and was too happy to tell me that paige mistook a gray hair for something foreign. I am proud of the battles represented by wrinkles, scars, and gray hairs.

Guilty if charged. Gray as a sophmore, gettin' bald as a senior. Since the statute has run out, bought the first time as a freshman. A couple years ago I woke up and wondered how Dad got in my mirror.

Only on ranchers net could I talk about gray hair with men and feel totally comfortable.Shocked Why is it that men look so much better with gray hair than women?? All I know that there is times when I would feel alot better bout myself if I didn't have gray hair..My husband who is 7 years older than I, doesn't have a gray hair....Hope the boys get his hair color genetics.. Soapweed, we have 8inches of snow that has soaked into the ground, yesterday we had bare spots. This morning when I checked cows the 3-4 inches we got last night had drifted in some areas. We too put some calves in the barn... and strawed the cows out of the wind.....Is this a million dollar snow or what????

Several times I have gone places with my mom . I'm mid '50s. She's late '70s. People ask if we are sisters... I cannot figure this out. I am vain about looking younger than I am which people always tell me. I guess they are flattering me Crying or Very sad Well, a hairdresser is a woman's best friend at this age.

I have a wonderful hairdresser. She had a plaque on her wall that says I'm a hairdresser not a magician......She gives me an inverted frost. Where she puts color in my gray instead of white frost.. And a good haircut is worth a million especially with me because I wear hats outside and don't always get to style my hair...

Been there, done that. You must be a decade younger than me. Blonde bleaches and highlights great but ya gotta keep doing it until the platinum stuff comes in mid-50s, early 60s. Right now I have three colors -- "grey-blonde", highlighted blonde, and "platinum blonde white". The last color is starting to proliferate so it's only a matter of time until I can ditch my hairdresser Laughing

jersey liley you sound like your a red roan lol. My wife claims trimming my mustache takes ten years off my age lol-it gets a little wild sometimes. Looks are irrevelant anyway-your only as old as you feel and act anyway. I can't stand buddies I have who are 40 going on 80. I've given up trying to look younger than my wife she's gorgeous inside and out.

Katrina,

For years I thought that those who were 18 to 20 years younger than I, as just kids. Now those "kids" have youngsters with them who are their grand kids, and yes sometime even great grand kids. It is not all just appearance. We do not realize how quickly the generations change.

Clarence,
Boy you said a mouthful there.... My Mom( who is younger than Elvis Presley) asked me to wash her walls this fall. She is super women house cleaner no dust type of gal. And as we were driving down to see them, it dawned on me just how old my folks are. To me Mom is always in her 40s.
I guess with marrying later in life, having children in my late 30s and 40s just throws off the way I look at things and reality... My husband's 25th reunion, his classmates had grandkids as old as our boy. I never went again. It weirded me out.

Reader the second, Is'nt that real white stuff the pits to try and curl??? I just hate it.....But guess I could be like those little purple haired ladies. Say what?
