OH?

I was working in a insurance company where only one guy out of hundreds had a beard. So I decided to grow mine again.

I was frustrated with an project that had been meeting for eight months with zero results so I invited myself to that meeting.

One of my most favorite things were then said after the meeting: "We've been stuck for eight months and ''crazy beard guy' shows up and fixes everything. "

Beards have come and gone out of style but I have kept mine. I look older and yes... somewhat less stable. I think people trust me a little bit more because of it.

That must have felt nice to hear :)

@WiseGirl: I helped her get a $20,000 debt waived by a 3rd largest bank in Australia

@nedkelly: Then you are an angel :)

I think it's pretty fair to say that looks can be quite attention-grabbing, but I too often find that in the absence of a kind heart I lose interest despite them. I also always find individuals who can hold a conversation with me the most interesting of all :)

@sometimeslonelytoo: After all the latter can be rather difficult, please know I speak from experience.

Sometimes I just wonder if people's attention spans have been growing shorter and shorter..? A long time ago, people used to read books much more. Now it's watching things more, which usually involves images that cut and change much faster... I don't know... Call me old-fashioned, but a delicious meal, in a restaurant with wonderful ambience, in the company of someone engaging in conversation is from my real pleasures :)

Nice :)

You are beautiful :)

How did that make you feel?

@WiseGirl: very nice. Brains are very important, and looks are nice to have. ;)
