    Rules for Grey Hair

    Last night I put my foot down. Since the advent of social distancing, etc. my wife has quit having her hair colored. After the haircut last week, it is almost grown out. One more haircut and it will be totally an attractive, sparkling grey. I was informed that the rules for grey hair are; 1) wear bigger earrings, and; 2) wear brighter lipstick. I told my wife that there was no way that I was going to comply with either of them!
    Micah 6:8
    He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

    I may be discharged and retired but I'm sure I did not renounce the oath that I solemnly swore!

    Shave your head, get a baseball hat and wear one of these T shirts.
    You'll be good to go.

    You won't need makeup, or expensive perfume.

    You"re lucky.
    My hair is too wild so I keep it short.
    Would love to be able to have a Colombian ponytail like Steven Seagal.

    I have known grey most of my life... by 27 I was completely grey and then it started falling out faster... Now I wear a clown cut with nothing on top. In the winter my wife calls me homeless bum because I let it and my beard just grow.

    I once told my wife

    "I didn't have any grey hair when I married you. You must be responsible for every one of them."

    That went over well.....

    You don't have to own that. It can only bother you if you GAD about it in the first place and there are certainly other more important things to GAD about.

    ...so, which earrings and color lipstick are you going to pick?
    If it was easy, anybody could do it.

    What?!?!?!?!!!!! Do you mean to say that women "color" their hair????? Hmmmm . . . . that finally explains how bride pf 48 years is still has great looking red hair while I'v gone grey!

    I'm with you . . . . I'll never commit to wearing large earrings or bright lipstick . . . why should we when we possess a "natural beauty"? LOL

    I will have to admit that every time I get my haircut, I look down and kind of wonder "where did all of that white/grey hair come from?"
