Good post Tom!

This hair thing is very personal for some people, and I respect that. Although I have never really been paranoid, I know that going to a full cap has changed the way I look at it all.

The other day I went to the dentist with no hair. I did wear a baseball cap backwards, but nothing underneath. A few days later I went back with my unit ON, and nobody gave me a second glance. I'm getting more and more brave about using the unit as an "accessory" as opposed to a "necessity".

I agree. It's very liberating not to have that little secret you always have to hide. Most of my friends know. Funny thing is, this is such a NON ISSUE that one guy I know I told months and months ago that I wear. It became obvious that he hadn't told his wife, because over halloween I dressed as Mr Clean and was totally shaven. Her comment to me was "I can't believe you shaved your head just for halloween!

Wars, recession, politics.....who really puts THAT much thought into our hair?

Only we do.
