Me neither! My beard is actually twice as long as this now. And I am about 30 lb. lighter.

Maybe we need to start a Covid beard thread - ONLY those beards started since Covid arrived. Mine is pretty long now, but I did trim it once...
Well, I definitely don't qualify: I started mine in 1972!
How about a general "beard" thread? That could be interesting.

ZZ Top references would abound in that thread.

Thanks Tom, I really do sorely miss JP.
Still planning a Prinefest in my back yard before the weather turns cold.

So I get a phone call from my birth mother on my birthday and she and her husband sang "Happy Birthday". Then she started crying and saying she never dreamed she'd ever get a chance to do that.

So sweet. Brought tears to my eyes (might be a mom thing).
Was your birthday recently? If so, HAPPY (belated) BIRTHDAY!
Hope it was a good one. Per the phone call sounds like it was.

When an adoptee wonders their whole life and cannot know, and is discriminated against by it's own state (like Maryland, where they allow adoptees born after 2000 to have their identifying info, but not those born from 1947-2000 to have this, and then fights you on giving you your NON-identifying info, which the adoptee is entitled to by law) and then you find out by dna testing; it can be very exciting and fun to talk about it.
Ha ha!
As we all know, surrender/abandonment of a child is an intensely emotional issue for all parties, and probably one of the most powerful personal loss/rejections a person can suffer in life, so understandable will have alot of responses.
Being as DNA services are giving adoptees info that their state will not, except by court order, I am shocked that congress hasn't shut DNA testing down in the USA by now under some invasion of privacy act.
For instance, it is illegal for me to have access to my state records but I found out who the bio family was anyway thru DNA Testing.
