Update From the Front: Battle of the Woolly Mammoth Rages On

Woolly Mammoth post

“Quite a day you had.  I can commiserate with you on the hairy legs stuff…I have to mow my legs every week or two.  Like you, depends on exposure time.  When they glisten in the sun, those darn spikes missed, like the hedgerow around my ankle, and the tufts  on my toes as I slip on my flip-flops. Why, oh why do we need hair on our toes? 

But as our vacay to the beach nears I have to get serious with the weed whacker all the way around, all the way up.  Of course viewing my camel knees in shorts and swim suit may detract from any snickers about the hairs missed by my battery powered shaver.  No more Venus razors for me…too big of an investment, plus bandaids.

And speaking of unwanted hairs….I have to daily uproot the fence posts that grow overnight on my chin. Could easily be the bearded lady in a week or so…Have sworn Stan to report on hair removal needs, eyebrow plucking included, if I get too whacked out to do this daily duty.  Of course where I do want hair to grow it just keeps falling out, despite daily Rogaine added to scalp. Whew…it’s a battle of the hairs!”

throw your arms in the air if you’re hairy…

Thank you to my good friend from the road…Katherine!
