Had a high forehead in my 20s, a receding hairline in my 30s, now just bald (well, very thin on top) but refuse to admit defeat and shave my head. :lol:

 

Embrace it.  Shaving your head seems like a hassle.

Speaking of hair... my barber, after cutting my hair for 4 years at $20 a pop, finally offered that I have good hair despite the pretty severe widow's peak up front. At least I don't have one of those bald spots in back like cloistered monks or my younger brother.

 

I had a hairdresser tell me that I had so much hair it reminded her of Chaka Khan.  I'll take it as a complement.  A bunch of it broke off with the bleach disaster of the summer of 2018, but I've got a good 4-5 inches of regrowth on that.  Now I know how the other hair half lives without a mountain of hair to deal with.

I wonder how the kid did on her math test. I went over the curriculum for the entire year. I think this is the toughest (definitely the longest)  module. 

So this is a crucial test. Because it might be the toughest test this year.

Our youngest female cousin has days to live, at most, sigh man.

Her bone-marrow transplant (from her brother, our cousin) failed to hold, Multiple Myeloma man.

In multiple-organ failure, longevity measured in hours man.

 

Her husband became acutely ill of, and died of, something else right when she was diagnosed, pow man.

Now their kids will soon be orphans, not fair man.

So sorry :(

I can explain it to you. But I can't understand it for you.

As part of your congenial welcome to the thread, see the use of P-math (Polish math) above, see LB ma'am.

The numerical system uses these numbers:  0, 1, 2, and Many.

Therefore, your "Many" years would be expressed as follows:  "the Many (2x2x2x2 + 2x2x2+1) years..."

And your "Many" weeks would be expressed as follows:  "about Many (2+1) weeks..."

 

Our favorite Polish Commie-babe, named Asia, visits this thread not often enough, oj nie.

 

Oj nie = "no, man" in Polish

Oj tak = "si, man" in Polish

Every other word in Polish looks like an optometrist's eyechart, oj tak

Soooo, my hair was a slightly darkened Alpine Green, but I decided to shampoo it quite a few times to get the color out. I think I'm going to need to bleach bath it to get it just a touch lighter on the upper half. That green is not budging at all.
