Thanks! My work environment has been fairly accepting of the beard. No negative comments at all, and some positive ones. I've been bearded for awhile, but never before has it been this long, so I was wondering how it would go.

Of more concern to me is my dating life smiley: grin. I started seeing someone when I had about 6-8 weeks of growth, and now I'm past five months. I have no idea what she thinks (no comments either way), but we're still together, so I'll take that as a good sign.
