Any Other Long Haired Rabble Out There?

Ron,

Yup. I'm another one with long hair and long beard. Eastern Orthodox monks (like myself) are expected to not trim their hair or beards. It's supposed to be an anti-vanity thing - we're not supposed to care what we look like.

It usually just gets put into a pony tail to keep it out of my face. Sometimes I'll put it in a "twisty" bun, to keep it even more out of the way. That's about it.

I think my hair is either the same length as yours Riverkilt, or at least pretty close to it. I usually wear it loose, but I also do a braid or a ponytail. i'm not sure how to post pictures.

My daughter attacks my hair sometimes, and my wife's hair too, but I don't think she can do a French braid. Sometimes I braid my wife's hair, but I do mine myself.

Cynthia, I know you from another board, not unrelated to the subject of this thread. Or should I call you Darth Cynthia?

I think the real question here is if you had to cut your hair short, would you take the hair and use it on a sporran?

Kind of like a horse hair sporran...

Only with someone elses hair.

You know, come to think of it, my daughter has been getting on my nerves lately... and she's a teenager now, so she's a deep sleeper.

I forgot to post a pic of my own lovely locks!!

except for some trimming of my own, I have not had my hair cut in the past 10-15 years. At work I have it pulled back in a pony tail, but most of the time at home I just it be loose. A couple of times I have had my wife do the two braids, one on each side, and then pulled to the back and held together like a pony tail.
