Norm

Male

St Helens, near Liverpool

United Kingdom

Profile Information:

Relationship Status:: Single
About Me:: Hi everyone, I'm Norm. I started losing my hair at 18, and it was gone by 24. At 22 I decided "what the L" and just shaved it all off. I've got MPB, or to be posh, Androgenetic Alopecia... AGA for short (which I suppose makes it the "cooking" type of baldness :) ). It's never bothered me - in fact I always really liked it - it's other people's reactions to it that fascinate me (which were pretty extreme back in the day). So if you'd like to chat about that - or anything, really! - say Hi and ramble on... :)
Do you have alopecia?: Male pattern baldness
Are you age 18 or older?: Yes - I am 18 or older

Thanks Norm for your kind words. It is a process of acceptance as you well know. I wish I had connected with my "alopecially challenged" family sooner! Will be posting new bald look soon. I actually love it most of the time these days!

Thanks so much, Norm - it took me FOREVER to check messages, as you can see. The whole birthday weekend was great. I hope all is well with you!

Ha! I love being this age. There is one thing I wonder, though - if I actually had hair, would I be fighting the greys like my friends are now, or would I actually have inherited some of the good genes from my mum and dad and not have to worry for a while still?

May 28, 2010
CBrown

Well, yes, now that I am older, I can use age as an excuse too! Now we are friends.

HAHA, you are one witty fellow, my friend! I like your idea of Lovely Doll....or how about LIVING doll!? Just kidding, in truth, I am one humble gal. Keep up those remarks & I'll keep smiling :)

your comment on the Hair Obsession blog was great and very thought provoking. i like that tho in a sarcastic tone (it seems) you still say things that are logical, truthful and that matter. ur silly, but u have a great silly-serious mixture. lol
Have a great day!

Hey Norm, my new bestest friend. You make me smile :)
Well, I'm getting my "head" around it, I always have to grow a set for these situations. My mother calls and she's worried about what to wear and wants me to help her pick out something. My comment was, just walk in beside me and my baldness and no one will even notice you! I like your solution better, just go ALL natural, let's give em somethin to talk about! Cheers!!!

Hey Norm, I think your pictures look great and that's not a word of a lie!
I thought you'd get my meaning "growing a set". The day I returned to work and had to face 60 co-workers at a staff meeting, I grew a set that day. But the funny thing was I got compliments, imagine that! Sometimes it's all an act but I seem to be able to pull it off. I'm a Taurus so I grab the bull by the horns :)
And, no I'm not flying the helicoper, the stick was removed on my side. It was a surprise Birthday present and we went and few over our cabin we built last summer. I took 254 pictures. But I have a Honda Foreman 450, an Excaliber Cross Bow, a Marlin 44 rifle and I got two bucks (8 point and a 4 point) plus a doe last year! Still impressed?

Yeah I'm a real outdoor girl, I was just shopping for camo bogs (rubber boots) for the fall hunt, good for minus 40 (which we need in this neck of the woods). So your were into archery too, cool, I'm a good shot at 50 yards target practicing but I wouldn't try it in the actual hunt just in case. I just had to tell you about my "bike" :)
I like the DGADBS so much, it's my new handle! and I wont forget I owe you one Norm, just for the smile alone I owe you :)

Superstar!

Hey Norm, I guess I shouldn't call it a "bike" it's an ATV. We have loads of fun riding back at the cabin where there is hundreds of acres of crown land to hunt and explore. Very rough terrain, the bike hardly ever gets into third gear. I don't get helmet head cause I don't wear one, I know I'm bad. I just can't stand the weight on my head. I'll see if I can't find a pic to post. Right now I'm going to find a good pic from the wedding, I had a blast and didn't wear a hat at all!!! Yeah me :) Got some compliments too!

Alright then, now I know where you get your sense of humour from, being a Brit myself it's all making sense now!!!

Actually I was born in Portsmouth but grew up in Gorlston-on Sea, nr Gt Yarmouth and then spent my teens in Bouremouth, moved to London in my early twenties; then worked on a cruise ship as a hairdresser for 6 long weeks; moved to South Africa for 14 months, back to London for 6 months and then moved to the US 29 years ago!!

lol you are too funny, i was watching a documentary about a russian prison and he said that and i just kinda liked it. we can hide our alopecia and try to lie about whats happening to us but in the end we are lying to ourselves because we are failing to accept whats happening by denying the reality of the situation. i dont know anyway nice to hear from you and have a awesome weekend :o)

You are very sweet, Norm, but I think one reason I'm so happy is because I'm going to the conference this week, have you ever been? I know it's a bit far from the UK

Jun 21, 2010
Robbi

Ah, well that's too bad, Norm. Too bad they don't have these conferences in every country. I'll let you know how it goes, for sure :)

Robbi

Norm, you are funny, and I will be sure to tape record any pertinent conversations!! :)

Jun 21, 2010
Robbi

I agree, Norm, perhaps you should pass on the blue wig idea; you are perfect the way you are! :)

Jun 22, 2010
Robbi

LOL thanks Norm! I think going to the conference this past weekend helped me decide to just reveal my true self! Hope all is well with you :)

Jun 29, 2010
Robbi

That's great that you're taking the week off--enjoy & relax.:) Yes, the conference was fab, wish you could have been there, Norm! By the way, what is "dishy"? Is it the English term for stylin'? lol

Jun 29, 2010
Robbi

Haha, that person was YOU, Norm! I knew it meant something positive, but I thought it was more along the lines of sassy or stylish! I love UK slang! :)
