Chin whiskers--my mother never warned me about them.

[libnnc]

Grey hair we discussed. But she never said word one about facial hair.

She could have warned me.

[Arugula Latte]

1. Yeah ... It starts with one little fella ...

and then he invites all his friends and family to move in with him. You kick 'em out, and then they all come back plus reinforcements. :eyes:

[Ellen Forradalom]

4. You sure you're not talking about

Deadheads? :-)

[Arugula Latte]

10. Yes, it's applicable to both

Deadheads, chin hairs, as well as Deadheads with chin hairs ... :rofl:

[Book Lover]

2. My grandmother

made me pluck out hers once or twice. I guess that was her Old-World way of warning me. (ps - I recommend you do NOT do that to any grandchildren you may have)

[Ellen Forradalom]

3. Oh, my mother just HAD to point them out

"Chinnie whiskers!"

Shut UP, mother.

Now I've got a full complement of 'em. I explain them as resulting from the same testosterone levels that make me so horny and assertive :evilgrin:

[libnnc]

6. re: testosterone levels--now that's making lemonade, alright!

I like that explanation!

:applause:

[LeftyMom]

13. SO that's what my problem is

I only have one, but I'm only 24 so I'm sure more will follow.

I can deal with the chinhair plucking as long as I'm still a demanding nympho. :rofl:

[Ellen Forradalom]

17. You will be

for many years to come, so to speak.

[LeftyMom]

19. .

:party:

[Benfea]

16. It also may be the correct explanation.

At least, that's what I always assumed caused it.

5. I once had a friend

in Ft. Collins whom I confided in. One day I came back from camping only to have my daughter tell me I was losing my eyebrows! I called Nance, in tears, and told her what my kiddo had said. She responded "Don't you worry honey! Whatever you lose on your eyebrows, you will get back on your chin". LOVE that woman but hate that she was right!

7. My mom didn't warn me because she can't SEE them

When hers get bad, I'll say "Mom, let's go upstairs for a few minutes". She hates getting them plucked, but doesn't want to be seen at Mass or volunteering with them, either.

I don't have kids, so I guess I'll be stuck!

8. Welcome to the fun world of the post menopause set

Next will be your drooping ass and boobs. Then, one day you'll look in the mirror and scream, "Oh my God, it's my Mom."

One comfort, at least we don't normally suffer from the old fart male curse of hairy ears.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

21. i got chin hair at 23-24

so be happy your body waited to be mean to you

[curlyred]

9. it's only the beginning

I have a whole patch of them. My 22 year old daughter has one, and my 18 year old has just discovered her first. :)

[DawgHouse]

11. Nobody ever told me either!

I'm spreading the word to every young woman I know ;)

[genie_weenie]

12. Hey it could be worse!

You could be as hairy as Grendel!

[Chovexani]

14. I'm 24 and I just discovered my first one a few weeks ago

You could have probably heard me screaming from outerspace. :crazy:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

20. i got my first couple at 24 too

[bedazzled]

15. i recently found something that helps with the problem...

i was actually investigating depilatories (yikes, they sound horrible), doing research online, when i found an item that is very helpful for the problem! it's called an epicare (it's kind of a spring-like tweezer) and it ROCKS. it's a bit expensive ($15 or so) but worth every penny and more. you can find it on ebay or in a general google search.

i don't own the company or anything, but am actually considering getting some and selling them at the flea market.

[radwriter0555]

25. My regular $4 tweezer works great too! It's all about the GRIP.

I have one stray hair at the corner of my lip. It gets visciously attacked with a tweezer the moment it makes an appearance.

[realisticphish]

18. i wasn't warned

and now i have a full beard that reaches down to my chest.

of course, i'm a guy, so it's ok :P

[tyedyeto]

22. I had never heard about 'man-hairs' until a co-worker informed me

Now I'm plucking all the time.

What's up with that?

:shrug:

[KitchenWitch]

23. Try that and acne and wrinkles

ARGH!

[NMMNG]

24. Yes, the joys of aging

Chin hairs, plus simultaneous zits and dry skin, plus the beginning of wrinkles. Isn't it the most fun?

[neweurope]

26. I don't have those (yet) - but my whole face is hairy now.

A guy would shave *sigh*
