Going Bald? He Doesn't Care

Good for bill....of course he can say that, he still has a pretty good head of hair. But he is correct on this.

I do not know what public funding is being $pent, but if its just the rich spending their money, it is their money.

For I too an follicle challenged.

I knew I was losing my hair when I was in second grade. Family genetics. It bothered me up till I was 20 yo. But even in second grade I made up my mind as I was riding the school bus as I looked at the balding school bus driver's bad comb over that would wave to everybody at every gust of wind that THAT was not going to be me.

When my hair began to recede (about 16) I am going to take and play the cards dealt to me, and not prolong the inevitable.

I put up with the jokes and laugh with them....they can be funny, but some people did it to be mean, I remember an engineer made a jab of me....no one laughed.....I looked at his over weight body dripping over his office chair and said. "Geez Craig, you really make that chair look small" every one laughed. He got up and left,

Then his wife who also worked there, came up to me and said, "You shouldn't make fun of Craigy.....He is sensitive about his weight". Then I replied,"oh, well....maybe you shouldn't have laughed about it". Funny how insecure some pewople can be.

I can't help but wonder how much closer we would be to a cure for cancer if the R&D budget for boner pills had been poured into it instead.

wonder what bill gates veiw is on that?

Male pattern baldness is caused by some (susceptible) hair follicles being poisoned by testosterone.

The "cure" is obvious - complete castration.

Effective and after a few months you stop worrying about the other effects.

Hi F,

Forget your "cure"! I let my "testosterones" do what they supposed to do. At 72, I still vote against your solution. I was half bald at 25 and I never was disturbed about it. This is me and that's it! When you want to be someone else, troubles, psychological and others, including business, start to get to you.

I have a customer. He believe that a good salesman must have a Mercedes, expensive clothes with a nice tie, and talk nicely. He will buy from this person, including the worst products for his business. He pays the price many times but still like the showing up people. Good for him!

Thanks for the recommendation but I have respect and a big "NO" for you, Gil.

Hi Gil, I wasn't recommending castration, just mentioning it as an option.

Personally, I'm just slowly going bald.

Hi F,

I got it! However, people go extreme on everything. I know a person with inplanted hairs but get skin problems with time and he covers it with a hat, including when is 30*C or more. Diets, fitness programs, and hair implants and more synthetic action have consequences, mostly health.

Don't worry about your head on the top, inside becomes better a day at the time. Nothing changes for you except when the mirror reflect your head, isn't it? Life progress and we have little to modify it, Gil.

Hi F,

Yes, I took your word as "is" and many if not most people do the same. This is our education to understand and interpret the word we see or hear. Also, the most often, communication between sender and the receiver is extremely difficult. One wants to say something and the other catches something else. Most communications are miss-communications! Schools tell youngs one thing and they miss-represent in real life, relationship or business.

The last month with friends, all want to do some business because the late age and be active. We talk about "niche" business, "niche" market, and something different or innovative. Someone started to tell that his future will be established in the low priced, green and environmentally friendly area. Finally, we have the difficulties to explain him that is not a "niche" market or "niche" business. Already, low priced products are everywhere, green or not, so the competition is harsh and constent, and it's difficult to survive in this market environment without big pockets. The low-priced businesses are just for profit and the most often at very low level.

This and other if not most of the subject we talk every day is subject to this miss-imterpretation of the realities or what was teached earlier.

Bill is right! Too many smart people don't have, ever have the opportunity to show or tell what they know. When you work for a small company or a corporation, smart people are fired within days or weeks because they go against the company's rules and principles established by someone not very smart but powerful, and high in ego. "Excel" and "Word" are excellent programs, invented by one or just a few people among close to 6 billions. Someone was smart to find the few brains to be able to create this two programs. "Chapeau" for Bill! I agree with him that the world don't exploit human brain at its real capacity. Money, ignorance, ego, and many small negative details are the cause of the few percent exploitation of our capacity, Gil.

Being bald is great, jus wizz over the had with the clippers on #2 once in a blue moon.
It's dry as soon as I'm out of the shower, put on shades and even I can look hard...(Bruce Willis runs away from me).
Oddly enough my Dad in his 80 still has a full head of hair, my 2 bothers (blue eyed like my Dad) used to tease me thinking that they'd inherit his hair and I with my brown eyes would go bald.
Nah, we all succumbed.
Embrace the baldness get out the clippers, now't worse than those sad old gits with comb overs or pony tails and a bald head.
Del (of course that's just my hooman persona...the catly me is terribubly fluffty)

I agree, and when late, you can wash you hair (or atleast where it used to be) with a wash cloth pat dry with a towel and go.

Nah, we all succumbed.

Your brothers may have took it harder.......you can run but you can hide from genes.

There was a saying about generations, about every other one, but I disagree, atleast not in our family. Also they said look at your uncle, but if all were bald,,,,,,,some people would say thats not fair

You know Del, "wiz" has a different meaning here in the states....

I wonder if Microsoft is about to release another operating system 8 ( as in section 8) full featured for a retail price of $29.95 for the poor around the world and a new processor retailing at Wal Mart (or other big box) for $19.95. Maybe they will bundle it together with their new, not yet released, Office package for $54.95. I know that he has donated lots of cash to organizations, but maybe it could be he is going to set the example and his comment is a precursor to an unveiling.

Hi tag,

I prefer Bill's donations for research and development of anything to make better life for some people at place of to give to the governments and expend money for loosing causes like Iraq and Afganistan. Bill can solve some problems but governments don't! Also, if you are bald or hairy, who cares. Only a few person is admiring or haiting you, the rest of the world don't know nothing about the status of your head. Bill hires people not because they have or not hairs. He hires because he needs talent with brain, which inside and not outside of the head.

I read in newspaper that a woman, being a well-known star, feels 103 at place of some 50 because her lips are thin. I am sure she did not used her lips for a good kiss for at least a month. So, what's the problem???

Let nature to do what supposed to be done, Gil.

The worst part of being Bill Gates has to be a wife that calls you "Mr Microsoft."

This is coming from a man [Bill G.] who is investing in a cloud machine so that he can control the climate [see previous CR4 post on the subject]. Why bother with something as mundane as creating/growing hair when you can create rain! I wonder what else he thinks is important enough to spend money on for R&D? It's not MS operating systems!

....and if you have MS, it money that is no longer yours, It is his money he's spending........

Hi Guest,

Why do my comments become your comments? Let me know, Gil.
