So does the American Midwest in some locales.

But not me. I haven't worn blue jeans in about four years. I hate the damn stuff. :)

I'm not too sure about that one, both times I've met him he was wearing jeans, and the first time it was a rather decrepit pair of Levi's with a nice big rip across the knee.

A search warrant has been filed and that search is currently taking place. Mr. Jackson has not been charged with any crime. We cannot specifically address the content of the police report as it is confidential information at the present time, however, we can confirm that Mr. Jackson forced the boy to listen to the Howard Stern show and watch the movie Private Parts over and over again."

Denim is still pretty popular down here. Go into HickTown and it's like the issue everyone the same denim overalls at birth.

Oh, that's simple. You see, Rebecca happens to be the perfect woman.

But on a more technical note, she doesn't starve herself but she tends to eat only healthy food (she avoids pastries, red meat, desserts, etc), and she's naturally thin.

This is so cliche' I know but the main thing about dealing with the inexorable force of aging is to stay fit and healthy by excercise, proper diet, and getting enough sleep.

I know kids in their early 20s who let themselves go to hell (too much partying and drugs and awful diet), and no excercise to the point that they could get the shit kicked out of them by 50-year olds. They may as well be in their 50s.

On the other hand, men who take care of themselves right could maintain the physical vitality of youth through their 40s and 50s. Having a hot wife too makes a big difference :lol:

I know a professor in his 50s at ASU who is into marathon running and he has the physical poise and energy of someone in their 20s.

The point is, if you take care of your body, you don't have to physically feel old as you actually are.

Only if you have a lot of testosterone (click here). If you're not particularly virile, you should be fine :D

It appears that the follicle frontier has been pushed back over the years and is now fleeing in unrestricted panic. Perhaps it's time for one last desperate stand.

But the genes related to male baldness come from the mother's side.
