 Topic: Movember
Posted: 01 November 2007 at 10:24am |
Is anyone (DH's) or anyone's DH doing Movember?
The husband hasn't before, but informed me last night that yon mo would be grown this year. Heavens above!  No more kisses for him until December!! 
It's such a good cause though (and the rego fee of $30.00 will be off-set by the razor blades we don't have to buy!  )
I jsut wondered if anyone else was getting involved - either directly (DH's) or by default (DW's)

Nat started talking about it last night... not sure if he's serious or not, but I let him know the rules after they were mentioned on Breakfast this morning:
- start clean-shaven
- no joining sideburns to mo (cause then that's a beard)
- no joining handlebars to chin hair (cause then that's a goatee)
- a small complimentary chin coverage (a "tickler") is allowed
Should be interesting!

My DP did it last year and found it so uncomfortable and itchy, he couldn't wait til 1 December so he could shave it off! So I am pleased he is not doing it this year, I hate facial hair!

lol Sparkle!! A lot of the doctors did it at my work last year, and then held a vote at the end of the month for 'best' (or worst depending on how you look at it ) mo...was hilarious. Was very hard to take some of them seriously!! (I wonder what their patients thought??!!)

Mine's not. I know it's a good cause but it's so gross.
I wish they could come up with something else. DH actually thought he might let the lawns grow for a month instead

No thankfully mine is in the military so has to be clean shaven. When he has grown one in the past it was 'ginger' sorry ginger.

All the younger guys at work are doing it - it was so funny to stop in there this morning and see everyone clean shaven in preparation! There's about 13 people, most from our department, and a couple from Micro.
Should be good for a laugh - I'm pleased DH isn't doing it though!

Mine in the military too & therefore ain't "allowed" to grow facial hair. Oh what a shame
But apparently DH can't grow mo's anyway as he ends up with a gap under his nose and the 2 bits won't join up. Sounds terrible if you ask me...

My DH is doing it, and also ends up with a slight ginga tinge to it so should be very attractive. I think it makes him look old ......but its all for a good cause.
All the guys at work are doing it and its always slightoly amusing as they compete as to who can grow the best etc.

I got an email from DH this morning as his company (the AA) are doing some kind of sponsorship thing for it and he really wants to do it.
So I said fine .... just dont expect kisses or anything else until its gone! I dont even like it when he tries to kiss me with day old stubble (it scratches)
