The Fountain of Youth

<p>OMG my husband is growing wild eyebrows! I keep checking him for ear hairs and strangely there are none but the eyebrows are just bizarre! When he gets a haircut sometimes he gets them trimmed if he remembers–or do they just ask? :eek:</p>

122

<p>Well, I am just going to brag outrageously here, brag, brag, brag and I don’t care if any of you old farts rolls their eyes:</p>

<p>I skied for SEVEN HOURS on Saturday – down blues & blacks and ‘jump’ runs – and not just kept up but also led the way for my 14 year old son. And not only did I live to tell about it – I could even walk on Sunday. With only minor aches in my knees. Well OK, thighs too. And, well, arms. OK, thumbs too. </p>

<p>But sill!</p>

<p>I think katliamom is on the wrong thread ;). Belongs on the Moms gone wild thread, if you ask me :D.</p>

<p>When he gets a haircut sometimes he gets them trimmed if he remembers–or do they just ask?</p>

<p>As far as the ears go- if it is just a wild one- a stylist can trim it, without being obvious, but if someone had really wild eyebrows, it would depend on the client, if I asked him or not.
He might think they look pretty cool- I actually have a friend who has Abe Vigoda eyebrows, and they are part of his “style”.</p>

<p>They are easy to trim however- either just brush them straight up- maybe with a little gel to get them to stay and trim across- dont forget to also brush them down and trim and toward the nose-
little snips
maybe with nail sissors?</p>

<p>jmmom (I need to get my glasses just to be sure I have all the m’s in your name)</p>

<p>Yes, denial and deflection are wonderful skills of the wise and seasoned. I am sure you didn’t notice my post was all about HIM.</p>

<p>Katliamom- I am impressed, some days it can take me 7 hours just to get my boots on, oh the pain, and the bending to do the buckles! Truly you are a hero to many among us.</p>

<p>PS teach me to do all the smileys …please</p>

126

<p>I think ultimately the eyebrows will all be wild but right now about half of them are randomly long and half are “normal.” So it doesn’t occur to him to take any action. If it were me I would make sure they were groomed & trimmed but you know guys…</p>

<p>Every so often I get a good look at him and literally go eek
(Put that word between colons–no spaces–and get the smilie. Same with confused.)</p>

127

<p>Oh, denial…my best friend’s H is going bald on the back of his head but since he can’t see it, denies it’s existence. He continues to wear his 70’s frat boy hair style (think David Cassidy on the Partridge Family) but there is a big bald spot in the back! The effect is hilarious. Friend has tried to gently tell him a few times that something needs to be done but he is in complete denial!</p>

<p>mommusic: do you have any gray eyebrow hairs yet? I do!</p>

<p>My kids all affectionately call my husband “Friar Tuck”</p>

131

<p>Testing
:smiley: If this smiley worked, my day is made. Such simple things excite me now a days.</p>

132

<p>:cool: jelomom2003</p>

133

<p>I think the reverse of the fountain of youth is hitting me-
I am going to a small preconcert party this weekend where a major rockstars ( not that- is that relevant- but it isn’t a friend)wife is expecting at any time and I am more excited about someone new to give “mothering” advice to, than the chance of getting another autograph.</p>

<p>I really don’t know many people in that particular stage of life- there are many people on our block with * young school age * children, I know several friends who are dealing with their parents deaths/infirmity , but not really anyone who is currently/recently pregnant.</p>

<p>I just hope I don’t pat her stomach
:o</p>

134

<p>very good, Jelomom! :)</p>

<p>still calling all gray eyebrow hairs…</p>

135

<p>Nope, none here. My DH, however… :D</p>

<p>I figured out the eyebrow hairs. I think they used to be on his head.</p>

136

<p>katliamom: I think I hate you;)…I did power yoga Saturday after almost a month away and could barely walk…seriously I am thrilled to hear you led your son and did so well!! Good on ya!</p>

137

<p>Full disclosure - I have not skied more than 4 hours at a time in about five years. And I didn’t know I could. Which is why my post was so triumphant. On the other hand, my thumbs, out of all things, still hurt.</p>

138

<p>Because I had a melanoma at age 19 and have been a cancer survivor for 31 years I:</p>

<p>never go in the sun without sunscreen
am grateful for every single day
practice acceptance every day
do about 10 minimeditations daily at opportune moments
celebrated 50 by taking a new job in a new location and challenging myself to try to learn every day </p>

<p>I do absolutely nothing to try to stay youthful. I do absolutely everything to try to stay healthy and alive. These are very different, you know!</p>

139

<p>anitaw,
I am about to turn 50 next week, so your post just resonates beautifully with me! Thanks for sharing your wonderful outlook!</p>

<p>But seriously, back to shoes:</p>
