Pluggers by Rick McKee for February 01, 2024

Not my mother. She see a gray hair out came the hair color.

Me just intrigued whether it be doggie plugger or bear plugger.

Nah, it’s the gray body hair growing over the seborrheic keratoses on my back. Oh, and the hairy ears…..and that large skin tag. Thinking of getting it tattooed with a face and declaring it a dependent on my taxes.

Well that is how it works ;-)

My mother went gray early. When she stopped dyeing her hair dark, she told my much younger sisters she was going to dye it gray, as they were turning it that way anyway. They were appalled, and promised to act better from then on,

Some people have grey hair.

My thoroughly white beard is a powerful asset in my holiday side gig as Santa.

The only time I examine my gray hairs is after I’ve removed them from my hair brush and am about to toss them into the bathroom wastebasket.

And wrinkles are the battle scars..

Another badge of aging is wrinkles. I remember when some magazine did an interview with Lauren Bacall, and they took some photos of her to accompany the article. When the article was published, Lauren Bacall was furious when she noticed that the magazine had removed her wrinkles from the photos. She said, “I worked hard for every one of those wrinkles.”

Or, a life survived…

Mostly proof that you are still alive.

I don’t worry one bit about my gray hair, as I have none! (hair that is)

As well as all the noises the body makes as you sit down, stand up, and get out of bed in the morning.

I’m more concerned that they keep letting go.

The Bible calls gray hair a crown of wisdom. So instead of hiding that crown, one should rock it.

…I hope you won’t be jealous Of the silver in my hair; It took many lover’s quarrels to put it there….

What is with young women dying their hair gray? Gray must be earned.

Silly! Reminds me of Aunt Bea from Mayberry.

Started dying my hair when I was 16. As long as Clairol is in business, I’ll never know if I have gray hair or not.

That’s how I look at it.

Male pluggers look at each gray hair and don’t want to lose it !

Now, that’s a nice way of saying ….. “You’re getting Old” ….. :)

One of my neighbors used to bug me all the time with “You really ought to dye your hair.” Finally I told her: “Are you kidding? I EARNED this salt & pepper!”

Aww… A “Poodle” cut top knot. LOL…

I earned each and every white hair I have on my head. I am proud of my age. I feel sorry for those old guys that dye their hair the color they had 40 years prior. Looks bad on most guys….

Earned silver.

I used to have more of them. What’s left is just the highlights reel and a few of my favorite jokes.

I’m 53 (soon to be 54). I don’t dye my hair, still have plenty of my original color with the white hairs interspersed and a strip at the temple (that I like). :-)

Husband went gray early in his 50s. By the time he hit his mid 60s it was pure white. He wears it in a queue (pony tail) as he keeps long for when we do 18th c reenactment events and it looks beautiful. I have a stray grey hair here or there, but just about all still brown – which it changed to from blond while I was in childhood.
