The Mo Must Go
Movember is over!
Thanks to everyone who sponsored me (it’s not too late).
The total donations so far have hit $1847.50 (AUD). That’s got to me about $1 a whisker….
A thanks to everyone who donated - but a special thanks to the ‘premium sponsors’ who each put up $200 or more. They are:
Also a special thanks to my wife V - who sacrificed more than I did for the cause!
Next time you see me - I’ll be Mo-less.

Lol, Bryce is right :)
It’s alright though, we’ll forgive you.
I went and saw Alan Noble from Google the other day, he grew a mustache for Movember as well, and he was giving away some Google down under t-shirts for people who donated.
I missed out :(

I am kinda jealous. I’ve been unsuccessfully trying to grow a Mo like you have for some time now !
You on the other hand, are able to and can’t wait to raze it !
At least it was all for a good cause ! Congratulations by the way !

That’s funny. I’m glad your wife “sacrificed” for the cause.
I’ve been married since June of 1972. I was in the navy and had grown a mustache and beard because I was just out of boot camp and, back then, they were permitted by the USN for everyone except boots.
I met my wife-to-be about a month after I quit shaving.
I’ve been beardless on and off since then, but never without a mustache. My wife, kids and grandkids have never seen me without a mustache, other than in old pictures.

That gives me an idea for a new Problogger series Darren - Blogging Myths Busted!
Awesome.

RT - good topic, in fact I’ve got a similar topic as a draft in my own ‘to write one day’ folder.

Nooooooo! You should keep it - just let it grow into a full beard and your wife will like it!

I was thinking the same thing, lol.
Personally I think Darrn should start a poll.
Should I stay or should I Mo.
I’d vote for the Mo. lol

Darren, have you ever thought about shaving your head? You should do it and keep the Mo. I think it would be a great look for you.

I know what you mean by thanking the wife. Mine has put up with changes with moustaches, beards and hair length over the years.

Hi Darren,
You even grow a moustache on your head for Movember.

You should threaten to leave it growing unless wife V gets some more masculine (or Neutral) looking towels and shower curtain.

Actually we’re moving house this Friday into a house with a much more neutral bathroom - phew.

You look great with that moustache, mate. I’m a guy, and I like it!
Pity it’s going away.
