    I am so glad that you got the hair transplant and that you're doing something for yourself. Peoples' shitty opinions on the Internet don't matter. I don't know why some people have to be jerks about things that don't affect their lives in any way.
    It looks like you're healing well and I'm glad to be a part of this community. ❤

      @@dawnchattin5935 Thanks. Try typing this into your search engine, Patrick Stewart attractive or bald men attractive? If it were just my opinion I would appreciate tolerance but it is a wide-spread and cross-cultural phenomenon; amongst both genders and since time-out-of-mind. In a gathering full of either average or handsome men the bald one(s) always command attention and stand out from the crowd.

    I wasn't feeling your love for the green until you put the hard oil on it with the pigment in it - that toned it down and took it from St. Patrick's Day green to a warm tone. And then I loved it. All in all, I think it was very successful and a great save from the dump. Congratulations.

    PS: A T-shirt with Mando looking smug with quote, " 'cuz I'm fancy af." I'm not kidding. I'd probably buy it. LOL

    That green with the silver just sings! And you are absolutely right, that hardware looks INCREDIBLY deco, whether the piece is actually from that era or not it sure looks the part!

    I have to be honest, I thought you lost your mind. But, when I saw the final results…I love it! Well done Jay. And kudos for getting a hair transplant and sharing it with us. I’m excited to see that final result! ❤❤❤

    "It's out of shape." Haha. That made me crack up even though I know it actually works for a description

    The green is very pretty. Green is my favorite color and I like the way the stain looks with the natural wood tone. I think the hardware looks good too.

    I like different coloured wood stains as I like wood grain showing on a piece. What a lovely job.
