Falling apart

Last week I finally gave up and trimmed my ridiculously bushy eyebrows. I can’t help feeling that when you have to do that the fight is pretty much lost.


This morning I discovered a grey chest hair.

I’m too distraught to write.

My wife likes attacking my eyebrows with her nail scissors if she thinks they are getting out of hand.

If you've managed to get to 40 with only one grey chest hair you're doing well. Hope you didn't pull it out though otherwise two will grow back :-)

I hear you. I would feel the same way if I discovered grey chest hair. Be strong, my friend.

You do have some rather thick hairs coming out of your nostrils as well!

Still don't have a gray chest hair, but some of my eyebrow hairs have reached the length of my chest hair.

To be honest I am kinda glad that Deep Fried men experience similar middle-age catastrophes that Deep Fried women do. I was thinking you got away scott-free ...
As you trim your eyebrows, and pluck that chest hair, I will continue to dye my eyebrows in and pluck hairs from my chin ...
Cheers.

Wait until you find your 57th grey chest hair. Will be time for double Margaritas. Until then tweezers work quite well.

Since I started turning grey when I was in my teens, I don't know how much sympathy I can wring out for you. ;-) BTW, if it's that bad, use tweezers. It's only one hair. Hee hee!

My husband was less than impressed when my (3 year old) son mentioned how hairy the husband's nose was. When my daughter then mentioned his ears he went off in a right strop.

Gray hairs in any location are no laughing matter. I feel your pain, Glen.
Pull that sucker out and unceremoniously burn it as an example of what happens to any other gray chest hairs that may be lurking.

Also, last week, I found 6 gray hairs on my head AND got 2 new pimples. My body is obviously being torn between deciding if I am 15 or 32.. worst of both worlds.

pluck it out!! are you mad - do I look like I have a high pain threshold? I'm not a woman you know!
