Blogger Jeremy wrote about losing his "man boobs." That reminded me of a guy who used to live in town who drove the propane truck. In the summer he never wore a shirt. He had a furry pelt of body hair and man boobs stuck out from the hair. Sweat would trickle through that pelt and over the pink areola of his boobs as he chatted you up while chewing on a cigar stub.

The thing was he was almost bald--why didn't some of that fur grow up there? After all, tufts of hair was growing out of his ears. And all the while he's flirting like crazy-did that guy ever look in a mirror? I changed gas companies just so I wouldn't have to look at him.

Hair growth patterns are a funny thing. Older women get chin, lip and facial hair. My scalp hair is thinning out, but I can shave under my arms and practically feel it sprouting back--WHY won't it do that on my scalp? And women with a mustache or chin hair makes me yearn to hold them down and pluck it out. I have to suffer through plucks to keep it off, why shouldn't they? Men with boobs can at  least cover them up with a shirt, but women can't hide a hairy face. Bye from wolf girl. (Just kidding! Susil.)

All my life I have had very fine and less hair than my brethren (and sistern) so finally that's a blessing? I used to say I have the illusion of hair. Mom would try to set my hair as a kid and I would have a tantrum. Mom's friends would visit and the first thing they would say on looking at me, was "let's do something about her hair." "Let's feed her" was another one. It's a wonder I grew up.

teal, bless your heart! Couldn't help but laugh at your predicament
as a child, LOL! But you sure are lucky if you don't have a "hairy"
problem.

Hey Laura; the gas company I use comes by every few years
and repaints my propane tank silver. And I'm on a plan where they
keep the tank filled--I rarely have to call them.The new driver is very
meek and nice and wears a shirt winter and summer, LOL.
I never saw a tank painted anything except silver around here--wonder
why?

I know exactly what you are saying! He probably thought that he was the #### of the barnyard!I battle the facial hair also! I think that it has to be hormonal!
