I have often wondered if that works but have found no actual answers until I read what you wrote, Melissa.<br /><br />The issues I have are my chest. Very little hair but I just hate it. If you shave it, it grows back and gets very uncomfortable. I have tried plucking, one by one with tweezers, and we'll see what happens. It may sound crazy doing this with tweezers, but there are few hairs there. Nevertheless, they drive me crazy.<br /><br />Calie xxxCaliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280127011882954777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791633210661845991.post-4367017529729286472010-12-22T00:57:52.457-05:002010-12-22T00:57:52.457-05:00Melissa,

What a wonderful vibe you give off - of kindness, intelligence and warmth.<br /><br />I say "You're Welcome" on behalf of all Canadians for the beautiful White Christmas we are sending your way. As you touched on, winter has its own amazing beauty, and many of us love it up here. Besides, once it becomes tiresome, you have no idea the joy that spring brings with it!<br /><br />Happy Holidays and New Year to you!<br /><br />xo<br />JanieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791633210661845991.post-44531704557581926622010-12-18T17:22:17.493-05:002010-12-18T17:22:17.493-05:00Earlobe hairs!

In the warmer months the mosquitoes and ticks would drain me dry.<br /><br />@ Caroline<br /><br />What is it with getting older and developing ear hair? I was standing in front if the mirror one day, tweezing my eyebrows, when I noticed a two inch long gray hair growing out of the side of my left earlobe! I have a little battery powered trimmer about the size of a fountain pen, that I use periodically to mow the fuzz around my ear canals. <br /><br />@ Jenny<br /><br />The nice thing about my sister, is I never had to ask. She even gave me a lovely feminine scarf for Christmas last year.<br /><br />@ Debbie K<br /><br />Thanks for your kind words! Best wishes to you for Christmas and New Years too!<br /><br />@ Stace<br /><br />Those are all classics! We always listened to them at Christmas time too!<br /><br />@ Amy<br /><br />I guess that constant plucking just damages the follicle. After two decades of epilating, I have virtually eliminated 90% the hair on my legs. What's left is practically invisible now. A quick once over with the epilator every of weeks is all they need. <br /><br />Melissa XXMelissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04600684740584460891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791633210661845991.post-44985698302255742202010-12-18T16:03:33.189-05:002010-12-18T16:03:33.189-05:00Nikki and I (mostly Nikki) have been plucking my f...Nikki and I (mostly Nikki) have been plucking my facial hair for almost four years now. A very selected few have vanished, but at least 50% of the rest have gotten much finer. That makes them much less noticeable, but harder to rip out with the tweezers. They hardly hurt at all anymore. It feels good when they come out, kind of like scratching an itch. I have a spot on my lower right leg that's completely bare. It happened due to my sock rubbing there during The Before Time (tm). Too bad it didn't work like that with the left leg. It's a nice freebie when shaving though.<br /><br />I can't stand cold like that. Just reading this post ma feel soooooo coooolllld! I much prefer our sixties and seventies weather over here.

You should see it some day because it adds beauty to already beautiful music.<br /><br />I share your lack of interest in the ecclesiastic aspects of Christmas. It is, however a time of when a sharing nature dominates. It may be that this (in the Northern climes at least) is an echo from the winter solstice celebrations of old, when we noticed the end to the shortening of daylight, and the promise of the return to warmth! <br /><br />By the way, we in the Great White North have two pieces of info: <br />1. Those terrible storms we on the North-eastern part of the continent experience are the result of COLORADO low pressure cells!<br /><br />2.That terrible cold you experience only passes over Canada... it begins its journey in a place called ALASKA (meteorologist might argue that, but it is my comment, and I am sticking with it! LOL).<br /><br />Merry Christmas, etc. :)Hallehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03847654451426257182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791633210661845991.post-19906981649820036162010-12-18T08:23:51.867-05:002010-12-18T08:23:51.867-05:00What an example!

There was this very narrow trail one could use as shortcut for getting home from town or going downtown. Once I came back from a dance, much passed the time I should have come home. I was walking up the trail by looking up to the moonlit sky peering through the trees. When I got to the road I was afraid to be caught getting home so late. Decided to sleep in the woods knowing that my father got up late. I waited for some people coming up the trail from having attended 6 AM mass in town and followed the last person up and pretended to come back from church.<br />Sorry, could not help sharing this.<br />ElElnoreply@blogger.com
