Zbube, see here we go again in the parallel universe. MrsGGB insists that I 'need' facial hair. I guess she doesn't like the way my chin goes. Funny, It was clean shaven when we met, as I was in the Air Force then. I grew it a beard after I got out, only because I could and she hasn't let me shave it since...well I did shave clean for a job interview at one point but she asked me to grow it back a few months later. I've been wearing a goatee for the past couple years, I got tired of the beard. I keep it cropped pretty close so at least it doesn't look unkempt most of the time and its enough to keep her happy. Thinking back, even when I was in the AF, she asked me to grow a 'stache. I always thought that a 'stache that met the military regs looked pretty ridiculous though.
