Clearing the H'air

You know you're getting on in years when you have ear hair. Okay, so the smarties out there will say you always have had ear hair. When it is just as long, if not longer, than your regular "head hair", then you've got an issue. When you find yourself lightly touching your ear just to feel the bristly stubble, you've got an issue. When you think about all the disgusting old men you saw as a child with a miniature bush of ear hair, you definitely know you have ear hair.

So what do you do? If you shave those suckers off, there's a chance you may cut yourself and will look way worse with little bits of kleenex on your ears. Or take it from me, if you pluck them, it really, really hurts. I refuse to just let them just stay there. It's bad enough my eyebrows are getting long enough to comb over my forehead, I will not tolerate follicle fields on each side of my face! Can you wax them or perhaps laser them? Although, I'm not what you'd call a "metro-sexual", I do like to keep myself relatively well-groomed.

Something else I've noticed is actually the disappearance of hair in one other region of my body. (No, not there!) At the base of my legs on the front sides, there is now a complete absence of hair. What happened? Some people say it's because you wear socks and the friction of that gradually erodes the hair just above your feet. I can't support that premise because if you follow that logic, then why do I have the fluff on my chest or dare I say... hair on my derriere?

If you're still reading then you must know someone who has these traits as well or you share my predicament or you're simply curious to see what other strange things are happening to me. Believe me, there are certainly many more "old guy" afflictions I possess, but we're not going down that slippery slope today. Everyone "nose w-hair" that would be going. You'll have to come "back hair" later... "It's not getting up" and onto this blog today. I'm just in one of my "moobs", now. Hey, where did I put my "cheaters"? Damn, I forget what I was going to say next...
