Ok, listen up MEN! Don't EVER tell a woman they need Rogaine to help reverse the progression of hair loss. Chuck knows not to do this now, so let his little mistake help you avoid one.
Picture this: We're at Dairy Queen. I am wearing ugly lime green work-in-the-yard pants and my now short hair is up in a itsy bitsy tiny ponytail. I'm looking BAD. We are sitting in the car waiting on our order to be brought out to us when Chuck, out of nowhere, says to me, "We need to get you started on Rogaine". As I felt my head take a couple of extra Linda Blair-Exorcist-Type turns around my body, I heard the words, "What Did You Say??" come out of my mouth. With as straight a face as I've ever seen on Chuck, he repeats himself, "We need to get you started on Rogaine". Had he cracked even a slight smile on that face I was about to slap, all would have been well. But he didn't. He was quite serious. He's sensing at this point that all is not well in his universe and proceeds to "explain" himself. Supposedly, according to Chuck, I have a "bald spot" down the back of my head that he, innocently, thought needed some help. As, in his own words, "I was just trying to help" and "It's really not all that bad" were flying out of his mouth, he scooted further and further away from me. That was the smartest thing he'd done since we arrived at Dairy Queen!
As I tried to explain to him, I don't have a "bald spot" on the back of my head. I have a "part" that likes to separate down the back of my head and my hair picks a side and goes there. I also have a spot on the top of my head where the neighbors' garage door hit me when I was 10 years old and the hair grew back "kinky". Strange....yes; Bald....NO! Errrrrrrr.....
So men, let this be a lesson to you. Don't ever, EVER, tell a woman she needs Rogaine........even if she does!! Just ask Chuck!

Hey Chuck
I have some time this week and thought you might like to update your "Doghouse" It sounds like you may be spending quite a bit of time there.
Just letting you know I feel your pain.

Give Chuck the old "what fors"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is just too funny, hang in there Liz...Alice
I think a sufficient "slap" would be something about Viagra, but that might be hitting below the belt. Doesn't Chuck know that women aren't even supposed to touch Rogaine, and men aren't ever to touch the subject of their wife's hair loss, no matter how true it might be?
So what are you doing about the bald spot?

"That never happened. Are you sure those drinks you had before you posted a sideways pic have sufficiently worn off yet? The only person I remember injuring is Bryce, and now he has pretty white replacements for the 2 teeth I knocked out. If your finger got caught in the gym door, maybe you shouldn't have been making that particular uncouth gesture. "Wayward part"? That is a very creative interpretation. Who ever heard of a hair part that is 1-1/2 inches wide. But, bald spot or not, we love you anyway."
You are soooo funny Liz. I really enjoy what ever you write about.

O Liz, have a heart and let Chuck off the couch.

This was just too funny...probably only in
retrospect....at the time, it was probably
rumbles of war. You write such good stories
and I always laugh and enjoy them alot...but
I really haven't ever seen any bald spot.
Take care and keep blogging.
