Shave it! BTW Happy Birthday Bob


Age 82

HE NEVER AGES! 
Happy 84th Birthday Bob

 I am thinking of making Bob shave his beard. I have never seen him without it. He has had it for 50 years and never shaved it... 

The reason I want him to shave it????   I think the reason he never ages, is the beard hides the WRINKLES!  How do we know what is under there, will he look OLDER?

 I have no way to hide my wrinkles.  And now that I mentioned that, I may have to start shaving.

It seems I have 7 HUGE stiff white hairs on my chinny chin chin.... I cut them off with scissors and they grow faster and get longer...

Of course I can put off the shaving thing until they set us free from the dreaded MASK.. 

it sure covers the brown spots and stiff hairs and wrinkles. It also makes me crazy trying to talk through it and understand others talking through it...  I long for a conversation with non mask wearing people.

But I don't have to worry about beards or wrinkles for now. I want to make my eyes look better, despite the droopy hooded thing going on. 

Now if only I could find mascara that I am not allergic to.... if i paint up the eyes they get red rimmed and runny....... that part shows above the mask and says LOOK isn't she a mess.

Yes, Happy Birthday to Bob! Andy and I have long ago given up on how we look. We have sense enough to know that mirrors and cameras lie, so why should we pay attention to them.

Happy birthday that boy!!! I have to pluck chin hairs almost daily. I also have the "male pattern baldness" gene. Sigh... YAM xx

Happy Birthday Bob, you look great! As for the other things you mentioned as we age, ah well! ;)

You are sounding a little down. I can imagine it must be awful in the states at the moment.Luckily we haven't had to wear masks much in Queensland. They do in Victoria. We have to wear them in some places. I had to wear one in the podiatrist's and X-Ray clinic today. When I took it off it ripped out my hearing aids and they got tangled up in the elastic of the mask. I wasn't a happy chappy. So I feel sorry for you.

Happy Birthday to Bob. Good luck with trying to get him to shave his beard off. Wade had one during the winter but would shave it off come spring. He would ask which way I liked him better and then get mad because I said both.

Happy Birthday to Bob! Bob is aging very well, I do not mind my wrinkles. I guess I can say I earned them, lol. Take care! Have a happy day!

All things that we have to put up with Sandra, not fair is it? I have a mini shaver that I do my face with. Some people have said that 'it will grow back thicker' but is doesn't and it makes your skin look so much better. I was horrified to find long hairs that I hadn't noticed, lol
Wish Bob a happy Birthday for me, he's still quite a hunk. lol

Happy birthday Bob?

Wrinkles, droopy eyes, chin whiskers, tired looking, age spots...our crowns of wisdom!!

Best wishes to Bib for Happy Birthday year and here’s hoping ghe next one is better. And you are right Sandra, a mask hides many things😉

Happy Birthday Bob. Don't you dare 'make him' shave off his beard. He wouldn't be Bob. I have never seen my husband without his thick mustache.
Since my husband's surgery is forcing me to be out and about, I notice that my dry humor is being misunderstood without the following smile.

Rose said...

Bob sure does not look 84.

I have not been able to wear mascara for years now...my eyes itch awful when I do. I use tweezers and pull out my whiskers!

Bob is sooooooooo handsome! Say, if that beard comes off, may I have some to plug in my head? Mine's gone naturally white anyway, and now it's falling out something awful.
I love that my mask hides my wrinkly jowls, but there's little to do about my droopy eye-lids. Mother had the same thing -- but because her optician allowed it was interfering with her vision, she got the lid lift paid for by Blue Cross. I quit wearing mascara 3 years ago, but still use a powder-base eyeliner.

Happy Birthday to Bob! He looks great. It would be so weird if he shaved if you've never seen him without the beard! I'm with you on the mask hiding everything and the exact same thing happens to me with mascara too!

Happy Birthday Bob! Why do men look the same or even better as they age? It isn't fair! hahaha! Enjoy your day! Give that man a birthday hug for me!

My Mind's Eye said...

Oh no don't make Bob shave his head or his face they are his signatures!!
LOL However it would be interesting to see if he has many wrinkles under the beard. Probably not since his face is hidden from the sun.
Happy Birthday Bob
Hugs cecilia

I cannot BELIEVE you have never seen the bottom of your husband's face! That is WILD! He looks in maybe better shape than he actually is. Tell him Happy Birthday for me. I tweeze my chin hairs out! That way, it takes them much longer to grow back. And I have quite a few. But now with the masks, it is not so important. Still, I wouldn't want Phil to think he is married to a hag.

Ahhhh...the dreaded aging process...welcome to the club. I am startled when I see a close up of me..where in the world did all those wrinkles come from? And the hands...we won't even talk about those...
Happy Birthday Bob..he certainly doesn't seem to age.
I'll bet you are not successful shaving that beard though.
It's like an appendage on him..good luck. It would take a long time to grow it back to where it is now.
Makeup and my eyes don't get along too well either... I would like to wear some but with all my wrinkles I think I would just look like a "Painted Lady"

Happy birthday Bob and many more!

Medicare pays for droopy lid surgery. I had a friend have it done.
The mask drives me crazy toooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Happy Birthday to Bob! Love the photos. I wish Mark would at least keep his hair and beard maintained. I want the before Covid face! I got a electric thing for those chin hairs years ago. Love it. It only take the hard ones and they take weeks to grow back. Best investment I ever made.

Happy birthday to Bob! And you need to remind yourself that (I assume) very few people (besides Bob) see you up close like you see yourself in the bathroom mirror! :)

Happy Birthday Bob.

He made it to 84 and BB?
You look great so accept your beauty as and gracious elderly lady.
Bob also looks good for his age. And as of today;
Maybe the good Lord has a plan to save Americans ? White House has Covid.

Happy belated Birthday, Bob. It's true, it's amazing how you look just the same all these years later.
