My wife and I are confined to the house as we are both over 70. By the time the Corona virus disappears, we are going to look like '70's hippies, with long hair. Can we still get the flared trousers and tie-die T- shirts? Off topic I know, but at the moment I think a bit of humour will not hurt
 
Didn't you save your bell bottoms when they went out of style? Tie dyed shirts have made a comeback so you can still buy those new.
 

I had a kind of wild pair of pants that I wore on my first date with my wife. She told me a few years ago that she never threw them out. I have been losing weight so maybe before I die I will be able to fit back into them, LOL.
 
You missed a great time in America enjoy it now,grow a little of your own, sit back,listen to Jefferson Airplane,Canned Heat,Cream etc and pretend you're young again in the 60's.Wish I could do it all again.
 
Forget that. I wish I still had my Nehru jacket. Even more, I wish I could still fit in that jacket.
 
Just buy yourself a pair of clippers. I haven't been to a barber in years. Not since I was trying to impress a woman.
 
Here in NY all the hair cutting places are closed. I cut my own hair too, did it Sunday. I use electric clippers from Harbor Freight and they work good.
 
Not sure about bell-bottom jeans, but go with the tie-dyes, Phil. They are available lots of places around here.

For some strange reason, some gas stations sell them OR you and your wife can get hold of some white t-shirts and dyes... and get crafty and make your own.

Guess I will need to trim Mr. Sweet's hair one of these days. Unfortunately, it will be with a scissor as we don't have a clipper.
 
I haven't had a 'store bought' haircut in over 35 years.The bell bottoms,and tie dyed? Nope,not ever.
 
The wife cut my hair for years, used the Trimcomb that used to be advertised on TV. About twenty-five years ago she said "no more, go see a barber." I think she's going to dig it out again.
 
That came up a couple years ago on the other ag forum. I dug my ffa jacket out, zipped it up, took a selfie. I had to uphold my breath for the time, and was stuffed in. Made a pretty funny thread.

I did fit, but was tough getting air!

Length of hair, or lack of it has no relationship to your brain, so all is well. If you want a uniform length of hair, take a 10 inch piece of PVC about the size of your vacuum cleaner hose connection, cut a 3/8" notch in it leaving 1/4 of the diameter uncut. place the notch away from the end for a distance that you want your hair to be long. Put the house vacuum hose on the end with some vinyl tape, and use the suction to pull the hair into the tube and cut it off to length in the notch. ear plugs are your friend, and it is harder to do by your self.

Never got into tie dye, had bell bottoms and hated them, got to hate blue jeans altogether, started wearing work pants in high school. But I did have the long hair, halfway down my back till grade 11, about the same thing I quit blue jeans, I started wearing shorter hair. My wife can cut my hair with clippers every 3-4 weeks, and most of it still grows back
 
My lady has been attacking with the clippers for about 15 years. Haircut is more fun when you there is zero social distance from the barber ( after the haircut !! ).
 
I take a look at my FFA jacket from time to time, but that's about as close as I can get to putting it on.

I was a delegate at state convention (Washington state) in 1964 when the issue of opening membership to girls came up. We voted it down. Of course, within a couple years Congress mandated it.
 
I fear my pants from that era would be wide enough in the leg, but would be several inches lacking around the waist.
 
Hair. Some of the smartest people I have ever known did not have much, if any. And some people with the intelligence of a slug were covered in hair. Of course the opposite is also true. Hair is certainly not the measure of a man, but folks that spend a large portion of their time on their coiffure, must not have much else of significance to dwell on.
 
I never got into the hippy movement. I was more into the motorcycle grope of people. As for long hair, still living at home I doubt Dad would have gone along with it. I remember growing up dad had a helper living on the farm. He had a hand clipper that he used to cut us kids hair. If his hand wasn't moving fast enough, he would start pulling hair, and not cutting it. That was almost as bad as going to the dentist. Stan
 
Got a laugh from me, so thank you. I doubt I'll be getting a haircut any time soon with barber shops closed. Thinking of boycotting everything that involves non essential spending since I was deemed a non-essential worker. No more lawn mowing I guess, or driving to church. That stuff is non essential for sure. Think I'll go to tractor pulls still if those come back this summer. Love the smoke and dirt!
 
I usually try to get 3 or 4 haircuts a year, I do not know when the first one this year will be.

Sorry you feel that going to church is non essential!

Since our church is a Bible preaching church, we try to live a life following God's word. Since the Bible tells us to do as our government says we have not had any gatherings. Instead we have been having live streamed services.

Ours has been doing that too.

If that's what Buckeye was referring to, I apologize. I guess I didn't take his comment that way. Again, if I took it wrong, I apologize.
 
Normally I shave every Friday before I 'go to town'. Now that the reason for that escapade are closed (beenasium, library, barber), I have adjusted my ways. In reality I only go to the barber once a year, the rest of the time I use the 'pet groomer'. Now I am just going to let the stuff grow until it bugs me, then 'pet groomer'. Back 'in the day' take note (Sweetfeet), my beard went down my chest about a foot or so and hair halfway down my back - we'll see how it transpires.
