I very much appreciate your input here and emails I've received, thank you!

Rick, hans, eyeright, Skip, Lupo, Ronit, KA, topper, Vino, Taylor, Pablo, cocox, terry, waistlover, et al....

A few responses, etc:

-No, I will not auction off my hair.

-Yes, I want Leona to do the cut. I trust her 200% with my hair.

-I won't be cutting it as short as waist length, I just can't do it. I love it looong.

-I think growing it to "terminal length" defeats the purpose of why I originally posted. I'm not trying to break any records, I just having long hair. It's beautiful, unique, requires a great deal of patience, it feels amazing, it makes me happy, it's a part of me that I cannot do without. I don't feel I'm "wasting my gift" at all. Some non long hair enthusiasts may see my having long hair & not donating to locks of love, as "wasting my gift". My ability to grow my hair isn't a "gift" per se; more so it is genetic. I feel very, very fortunate for these genes, believe me, but that's not my definition of a true "gift". People in your life who truly love you (with or without hair)... now that's a gift.

-Pablo... Why, may I ask?

-Vino... Is this some way of inadvertently requesting a Màne-àge à Trois?

-Taylor... Hey! Long time, sweetness!

-Ronit... Happy Valentine's to you too!

-Ninja.. commander & chief of this fine place!

-Davester... the big teddy bear... Oh Canada!

-Chris... Always a sweet to me!

-RP... Always a hunny bunny!

Dman... So kind & sweet

Danny... DIK!

-Leona, I love you (I just had to say that)

Bottom line of things as they stand now... I haven't decided on how much to cut off yet.

xoxo,
