They say that everything happens for a reason.....

Not so much hairy thankfully but still get the odd very teenager type spot.........due to ever failing eye-sight have had to upgrade my X3 make-up mirror to a x10 to ensure I do not leave the house with a visible spot .... its just a bit too strong really but better that than walking around with a pimple on the chin all day!

Its ironic; more facial hairs but far worse eyesight, so you can feel the swines but not see them!

Ah, I assumed we grew them to amuse our grandchildren by giving them something to plait!

My daughter was in hospital at age 13 for major surgery, and because they weren't sure where to put her (Children's or Adult Ward) she ended up in the Adult Ward.

Once she was mobile, with her youthful 20/20 vision - she was the one, after one of the other patients first had the bright idea, who went round the ward tweezing all the older women's bristles before visiting hours when sprucing up was the order of the day.

Stella1949-?
Nanabilly-? Lol!

I think it's so that you can tell the husband or lover that you are "just going to pluck my beard"when you know they are "in the mood for loving" and you just want to go to sleep , in the hope it puts them off.

In my mother's older years, she always kept a magnifying mirror on a stand ,on the kitchen table. When I asked why it was there, she said it was in a good sunny spot , and that she could check for facial hairs every day and tweeze them.

When she died I took the mirror, and it now sits on my balcony table where I have my morning coffee. In a nod to Mum, I also check for the hairs every morning in that sun which shows them up so well.

I'm always amazed at how there can be nothing on one day, and next day I'll find one which is half an inch long ! How does that happen ? It's one of the great mysteries of getting older.

The endocrinological reason is that the balance of androgens and oestrogens shifts, so that women’s male hormones increase in relation to female hormones. This, apparently, is why many women become more assertive after the menopause!
But really it’s just a bl***y nuisance!

Rubbish isn’t it! Trying to think positively here, maybe it’s so you’ll know quickly if your close vision is deteriorating i.e. not able to see to tweeze so easily? Nah that’s not working....it’s still rubbish! So is the deteriorating close vision come to to think of it!
