    I'm Jim and new here. I introduced myself to the forum in post#78821, member #972: here.

    This is the latest iteration of a beard I've had since 1967:

    Today, it's much bigger than above (sorry, I don't do "selfies") but I will be trimming it back to summer size (as shown above) when this cold winter is finally over.

    I thought you were older, not younger. :)

    Hard to judge age over the net. But I figured you yo be in your late 30's to 40's?

    In a PM, I revealed my age to a member and informed them I was 30 (at the time), and they told me, that they pictured me to be 50!! LOL...:)

    Appreciate the welcome, We'll Seasoned!

    I stop trimming it in August so it's twice as big by Christmas. I play Santa every year for the old folks and their grand/great-grand children at a county long-term care facility where my wife is the Director of Nursing. Been doing it for more than 30 yrs now.

    I do have lots of fun with youngsters & toddlers wherever I'm traveling for my photo shoots-- little kids still believe in Santa so all I do is ask "have you been a good boy/girl for Momma and Daddy?" Man, their eyes just get as big around as silver dollars and look to momma for approval, who by now has a huge grin and a look of "thanks" in her eyes. I usually carry a few lollipops in my pocket for these wonderful encounters.

    My wife has never seen me without a beard--claims she'll cut it off for my funeral just to see what I look like without the "womb broom."
