OMG! J would love that hat!

[IrishHeart]

Sorry, it's a hijab or nothing for you, young lady.

BAH! never! although I like those lacy mantillas. Remember those? does anyone still wear those?

But I like this hat!

This hat would make me look like hubs.

He has a fluffy beard.

Those beardo hats were pitched by their Canadian inventor to the impressed millionaires on Dragon's Den, but no one invested. Their mistake.....

I can see reasons for wearing that hat. They all have to do with shoveling snow.

[mushroom]

Buy a snowblower!!! Not as environmentally friendly, but gets you inside a lot quicker.

[elye]

Man, those hats would be SO NOT for me. Having a lifetime of experience outside in January frigidity, careening down hills, pushing a shovel through snowdrifts, waiting at ice-covered, windblown bus stops, I can well imagine what the "beard' of this headwear would look like after a few minutes... . ...in fact, I'm wondering if this problem is unique to me, as the Beardo is selling like crazy.

Doesn't everybody get a running-like-a-faucet nose in freezing weather??

I know someone who does.

When hubs snow-blows our ridiculously long driveway, he wears this dark, bizarre woolen cap/snow mask similar to this hat. He looks like he is about to rob a bank.

When he comes back inside, we have to pry the thing off him because YES, his nose runs and his eyes tear up and so little icicles form everywhere !! and then, the hat/mask sticks to his face and beard. He is red- faced for hours after and he says it hurts like heck. (granted, he is also a very white Irish man with ridiculously sensitive skin that burns in about 5 minutes in the sun. )

[Jestgar]

So you must have plenty of these in your house.

At the risk of sounding stupid, why don't you just thaw his face first? Like with a blowdryer or a dip into a sinkful of warn water? Then throw the mask in the dryer?

[IrishHeart]

Fantastic!

Uhmmm, don't think I would want to be married to a bearded collie , cute or otherwise. A great Dane, maybe.... or a German shepherd, or a Welsh terrier, an Irish springer spaniel could be good for a romp
