(In Cousteau accent), Ahh the wonders of human biology.

(Coughs splutters and drops back into bland Mid-England accent). I'm probably the hairiest person I know, but there are still those places where I'm like, WTF, why are there hairs growing there. Point in case, a few on my earlobe.

As for plucking.....bugger that. Razors: OK, Clippers: OK, Big F-off Knives: OK, Tweezers, runs from the room screaming like a little girl.

Earlobes. Why?

What is it that makes some random cell so evil that it choses to grow a thick long hair in a place that wasn't meant for hair?

And taking the embarassing plunge for the ladies side....

Why does the body do this? I should think it's a combo between genetics and hormones. Women tend to have more issues of hair in unwanted/embarassing places as they get closer to menopause due to the falling estrogen levels.

And while I've not gone through menopause...yet...I'm getting the little boogers in some very unwanted places, like my breasts.

My grandmother always told me drinking her coffee would grow hair on my chest, but gorrammit, I didn't drink the coffee! *pout*

I'll now go put a paper bag over my head and go away.

If you have been holding off on the elixir of peppiness because of hair growth, well, since the hair is growing anyway - drink up!

I've considered donating hair to bald guys. There could be about 30 previously bald men with full thick heads of hair and there wouldn't even be any noticeable deforestation on my back.

Why is it that one (just one) hair on my chest has grown to about five inches. Did it think it was on my head?

Actually, I can't have it because of acid reflux and 'cause I can't have other stimulants due to my asthma meds. But still...*pouts more*

I've felt like that in regards to my bosom (the actual bosom, not the hair on it). I've got way too much and would be willing to donate to others were it possible.

My wife has said the same thing. (Not about you, but about her.) (And - Hey! _I_ get a vote!)

But that just stirs up a pet peeve of mine. I've had conversations with women that are small, but for lack of a better thought-out description are damned yummy. Yuuuummmmmmyy. But they have themselves convinced that if you aren't top-heavy, that there is no appeal. Just not true. If I judge correctly our four Firefly "babes" (or at least 3) are all sub-C cup. I don't hear any complaints from their fans. "Oh, hi Jewel. Nice to meet you. Will you sign this please? And holy cow your breasts should be much larger. Thanks."

Ultimately few people are satisfied with their bodies. I might be after the cremation. Am I too dusty?

I always find this somewhat troublesome. The way that a lot of people I know feel like they're fat or they think that they're ugly when really they aren't. I think it says something about the way our society makes us believe that if we don't look like how everyone says we should look then we're not pretty, and also the fact that being "pretty" has become so important to a lot of people.

Agreed. My problem with the size thing, is that too large is painful and can make breathing tricky. Think about trying to breath with a 20-30 pound weight on your chest and having it pull your back out of allignment.

re: unhappy body types: Yeah, asortsfairytale, you've hit it on the head. But then, the world has always been like that. In the middle ages, it was voluptious women (aka: Rubenesque) were the ideal, as having lots of flesh meant you had wealth which was greatly prized then. As food became more plentiful, it went the other way. Right now, food is at an all-time abundance in developed countries, hence the pre-occupation with skinny women.

Re: plastic surgery. This need to be perfect and infecting children with it to the point that they have invasive procedures has got to stop. Normal, uninjured children and teens should not be having nose and boob jobs or being liposuctioned. making sure your child is healthy and active is one thing; getting htem a nose job so they can be 'prettier' than Sally So-and-so is child endangerment.

The biggest problem is we have the media bombarding children with what the "should" look like and show them how great life is if you conform to society's ideal of beauty. And then these children just about kill themselves to look like that so they can be popular and accepted.

Grrr....

I have wondered why I have so much hair. My father did have anything to compare with the amount I have. To check my heart the opertator has to shave my chest to get the electrodes to stick. As I grow older it is the same old story of hair deciding to show up in new and interesting places. It is the life process. I don't know the reason. It does seem to happen to most people. I knew a one young man who was going bald at eighteen. I new another man who was growing gray in his early twenties. Life throws you some curve balls. Hair is just one of them. Now in my fifties and I am pretty gray. But just about average for my age. And my hair-line is not to bad. It is just where did I get all this chest and back hair? I saw none of it in my family accept me. Maybe it passes a few generations. I really don't know. But they do make a pair of small scissors with blunt ends for triming in those sensitive areas. Check your pharmacy. Probably in the cosmetic section. I stole mine from my mother. I'm a bad boy.

Good question. I have no answer. But I have a list of things I am going to ask God when I finally meet up with him. I can hear him laughing already. But I just want to know. I suppose I will not be first to ask any of these questions and the answer will be, "That's life kiddo."

Gotta love it. It is just my list of questions keeps getting longer.

You think you know--what's to come, what you are. You haven't even begun.

Regarding last thread: Zeek and JQ, you both need to not joke about certain things. And if my picture emote didn't tell you I am very serious about that, there's no hope for you.
And yes, I've been practicing my expressions

And yes, Jimi, you've mentioned that you like the glasses

I've grown to like them more, too. Even make my glare more effective. And it's cheaper to not have to pay for contacts all the time.
Regarding hair in strange places: I have a single long dark hair that grows out of a freckle/mole on my cheek. I have to pluck it alla time. I imagine it will get a bit worse when I'm older. I might one day scrape up enough money to just have that one hair folicle fried, though. It really gets irritating.
Regarding body image: I think I'm the only person I know that likes my body the way it is, though I do try to look my best, and I definitely post my best-looking pictures here on the boards (most of that has more to do with the expression on my face and whether I have red-eye). Having recently noticed that my nose is slightly crooked, I've been coming to terms with that, but I wouldn't let anyone take a knife to my face.

Hi all... i keep getting lazy about checking in, seem to have a lot of homework these days....

Well folks, i'm in a bind, and i was hoping to ask my trusty imponderables for some advice.

Warning: Teenage Drama is ensuing below. Barf bags will not be provided. Proceed at your own risk.

How do you know when you have feelings for someone? Damn that sounds like a cliche question, but... my beloved thespian club president and i have had this relationship of ours for a month now, and we finally slipped onto the issue of my interest in the Lighting Designer... an inevitable question, to be sure... and i dont know what to say.

I feel like a fool,two months back when I was sure what I felt was love or some crush at least for the Lighting Designer, and damnit, now all I can do is hope against it all that I was, as the saying goes, 'in love with love'... because I dont know what to do about La Presidenta... I wouldnt say this to her because love is a taboo word for all teenagers, but I love her dearly, but I know if that means i'm her friend only or if that qualifies me for something more. I wish it didnt matter, that we could just be happy spending time together without worrying... but there's this doubt in me always, not that I'm harboring feelings for the lighting designer or anything, but just that I dont feel the kind of enthusiasm or passion or whatever La Presidenta does. I know she does... she is genuinely interested in me, which is perhaps the scariest part of all, and I... well, she started the relationship and I reacted. It bothers me.

Sorry for the long, nonsensical, rambling, offtopic post. But I'm scared, it really bothers me that I might be empty and incapable of caring specifically about one woman, maybe because I care so much for so many of them.

Thanks all... for letting me blog here if nothing else.

That could have a lot of different answers, really. The "Oh, you'll know" answer comes from the very undefinable way you feel, but nothing wrong with trying for ballpark... Let's see...
You have feelings for someone when seeing them makes you feel lighter. You have feelings for someone when you feel better just because they're around. You have feelings for someone when you're very aware of the way they move and the sense of the warmth coming from them. You have feelings for someone when just seeing them smile makes you smile. There are a lot of things like that; those are just off the top of my head.

mornin' Imponderables.

Love - ah, a touchy, sticky, smelly subject. Personally, I like John Milton's take on it from Devil's Advocate ("Love? Biochemically no different from eating large quantities of chocolate.") Honestly, and this may sound a bit like Rose's (I've noticed we think somewhat alike, which is scary itself), but when the day is made better by the fact that you got to spend time with someone, or doing something for that someone, or even thinking about that someone, well, that's a good all-around measure of love. It is in a general sense, though, because it can be different for everyone, so there is no way to tell you for sure, because we all experience things in our own ways.

Hopefully this sounded more like helpful pondering and less like me pulling something random out of my arse....

Zeek, I don't think PR was too delighted with the idea of you guys jumping out at women with the idea of taking their clothes off. Then there was the whole 'women as objects' thing off that.

Never been in favour of mugging my own self. Certainly didn't appreciate it the one time someone tried it. Luckily, they were only after my bag.

I could see the women as objects thing I guess. However, I can't count the number of times that the beating of Ms. who should not be named was never questioned by anyone. So, if it's just violence I don't see why that joke changed nature.

So, if it is women as objects that's the problem well that's just not going to stop. At least not towards models who are making their living off of people treating them as objects. I'm just supporting the economy.

"Mug a girl" + "take her" = Rose pissed off. Dong ma?
And, quite simply put, I should not have to fucking explain that to you.

And JQ, if you're still having trouble with it, I don't think Mav apprecaited you implying that she was a tease/that you couldn't help yourself because she was such a tease. And no woman would appreciate that very much. It's really in the same vein, hence "things you should not joke about".

Moving on...

It's been the way it is for years, I'm really not worried about it. And, uh, I don't really do the 'going to doctors' thing very often, unless I think I'm dying. Please don't lecture me. Heard it, argued it, and from above ticked-offedness I'm sure you can tell I'm really not in the mood.

It's been the way it is for years, I'm really not worried about it. And, uh, I don't really do the 'going to doctors' thing very often, unless I think I'm dying. Please don't lecture me. Heard it, argued it, and from above ticked-offedness I'm sure you can tell I'm really not in the mood.

Sorry. I wasn't lecturing. I won't make that mistake again.

Hope you're feelin' better MSG.

'Mornin' folks. Seems meltdown was averted for a short while last night. Rather than flipping into monkey shit mode I decided to have a drink and groove with a range of music. Mulled over alot of stuff with my bestest friend Mindy over the phone and though I do feel a bit dehydrated, stuff seems better. I'm havin' very little to do with people right now. And it seems I'm havin' less to do with some people IRL due to feeling used and unappreciated. I'm sure there is nothing more that y'all wanted to hear about my continuing downfalls and short comings so I'll be returning to work for a bit.

Ok had a minute to read and wow did I apparently miss something or several things....

So here goes..hair partial to waxing myself , not a fan of being furry:)

Big/small boobs have DD cups myself and as soon as I have a baby and finish nursing I am sooooo getting a reduction. I can't see why anyone would want them. They cause major back pain, ill fitting clothes, constant and unwanted assumptions about me ( as in I am slutty or dumb just 'cause I'm busty) If they weren't causing major back damage I'd live with them 'cause all in all I am happy with how I look now ( 2 years ago when I was 70 pounds heavier I wasn't so happy, but that was mostly health thing)

Whatever happened in the last thread...ok everyone breathe and realize we are all different people from different places who sometimes have a vastly different view on what is offensive or inappropriate and lets all try to use our nice words and agree to disagree.

You think you know--what's to come, what you are. You haven't even begun.

*hugs Mav and Jimi back!*

No, I didn't mean it like that, I meant I didn't want to be lectured about not going to doctors. It's one I've had many times, you see, and I wanted to head it off at the pass. Please forgive my snippiness.

*edit* Sorry, MsG, but I am not going to use 'nice words' about that kind of thing, especially after I've already voiced objections about 'joking' about mugging/theft/rape connotations and been told they were baseless. That's not just being from different places and having different ideas of what's offensive, it's about what is okay to do to another human being. I don't put up with that and you all know it. If it makes me a stone-cold bitch, all the better.

Now that face and that description of you couldn't be further from one another. (I think I prefer the face in that case).

*hugs* again because I am lonely today and it is something to do.

Yes, I realized it was an odd juxtoposition once I edited. But surely you have not so quickly forgotten my objection emote...

So I know you like my 'stone cold bitch' face, too

Rose... you are so cool...

I'd join you in a feminist tyrade, but by the way you describe it I really dont want to read the previous thread.

My nice words are firmly in check as well. I have yet to receive an apology, a mea culpa, anything even close to this.
Too bad so sad.

He was wrong, he stepped so far over the line he couldn't see it anymore, he KNOWS he was wrong, he's POSTED that his tail is between his legs...yet...nothing.

This really has nothing to do with anyone else. I appreciate the support; I would presume nothing less from my Browncoat family.

And I really don't care to discuss it further.

End of line.

PS- There are chocolate covered apricots in the bar. Help yourself!

OK so how was everyone's St. Patrick's Day??

Mine was lovely. We went to over to my sister's house and did grilled hamburgers and salad and such. Wyatt and Annie were so amazingly cute and funny. They chased each other around the backyard and giggled and had a ball. They were having such fun that it took us forever to get them to bed. Annie has learned the word "sip" and kept asking for a sip of my drink , but I couldn't give it to her because I was drinking wine, but she was so winningly cute with her little " sip pease" So MisterG gave her some of his coke. When my sister went to put Annie down, she fell asleep. So we all stayed up and talked forever it was great.

Oh and I forgot my best news EVER!!!!! My baby sis had her baby on Monday ( well just barely Monday as it was after midnight) A little girl 5 pounds 11 ounces and mom and baby doing well:)
