thats an excellent photo paloma <3 i love it, and i love that cat :D.

She went from paloma to plum but I'm sure she's still a girl :)

The pets pictures topic on my own forum is called
"laat je poes zien"
meaning
"Show your pussy".
Pun intended.

I'm gonna brush up on my Dutch and knowledge of audio equipment and sign up :laughing:

Hahaha, you have to want or own an open reel deck.
Not kidding, that's a rule. There's a good reason for that, too.
Real audiophiles and open reel fanatics don't get along.
We've been there.

We both have the same sub-mission. Haha.
I was just getting into words with my cousin about her son's hair. He's like 16 and he just cut his hair to generic almost bald. She was all 'look how cute he is, thank god he finally cut that awful hair' and I commented that he looked like a lesbian, and he should wear a hat until it grows back. Because he did. My roommate even thought so. :D So none of them were very pleased. Whatev.

Here's my case in point why I'm on your side, and some disagree completely, but whatev. Love my hair and beard. By the way, my mom grew up in San Francisco in the 60s, smoking pot, being gay, all that fun stuff. So it's apart of me as well, except I like women (also). I'm a second generation hippie. Straight up flower grandchild. :P

I think the hair makes for extra character.

I don't know how you guys rock the long beards. I have the beard growing abilities of an 11 year old so I can't grow one, but doesn't it get itchy and annoying?

chinese usually have very sparse facial hair, i did grow a stashe and beard last time and looked like some Imperial officer from a period drama, intemittently stroking his stringy face hair, not to mention that I grew my hair long as well, and looked also like some drug dealer from Hong Kong

Itchy? Never. Not once. Yeah.

Annoying? Also, no. I mean, if you're prone to fighting, which I'm not, it could be annoying for your oppenent to grab that but other than that, the only thing that makes it annoying is other people's opinions on the beard, being shoved down my throat usually.

It's only itchy in the very beginning when it's all bristly. Maybe later too if you have some kind of facial dandruff problem but I've never had that. Once it grows out it's soft and not itchy. Still, they can get sweaty and trap food: two disgusting things. I find that the only time I like having a beard is if I feel like my face is too fat.
