04.11.2008 :: 101. Dalmations*
Regarding yesterday's poll:
My favorite thing is Maryse saying HAG HAIR. I chuckle every time I think of it!
109 of you voted.
49% would tell her.
35% would not.
10% would not in a zillion years.
6% of you would leave a note.
3% of you were OTHERS:
Mainly bringing up the subject in a roundabout way, perhaps talking about mine (HEY! Have you been looking at MY hag hairs??)
And the thought that if and only if it IS indeed a hag hair would they bring it up but if it were one of those lovely little soft wispy hairs, they would not mention it.
I, I have to admit, fall into that NOT IN A ZILLION years category. I cannot. I've tried. I steel myself to say it but I cannot choke the words out. There are certain people I could do that to, but this woman is not one of them. I wish I could. But I cannot.
My second favorite thing? (I mean, BESIDES the fact that we have now "talked" about chin hairs for 2 days) is that I'm sure every one of you have gone to the mirror and plucked. This is good, though. I have had a small part in blogland having some beautiful, hairless chins. I wear that badge proudly.
And let me just add that if you ever see me and I have one of those huge hairs sprouting from any part of my face, promise me that you'll tell. Raise your right hand and do it. Promise right now or I swear to bob I'll pinch you with these tweezers.
Our oath: Never to let another knitter walk around with a hag hair.

Did you join the Green Bagging challenge? Do it. For a month, at least. Or a lifetime, whatever. I'm thinking that you may have enough plastic bags tucked under your sink and in your closets to clean out the cat box for a while. But if you don't, Someone (I can't find you!!! WHO are you??) mentioned that the produce bags would do just fine!

Fig says:
Do I have any hag hairs? You'd tell me, right?

* this entry has nothing to do with Dalmations. I just couldn't resist it with the number 101. It's like peanut butter and jelly.

My cat does have 'hag hairs'. As do I, and not yet pushing my third decade.
And how come, no matter when you pluck it, it is always an inch long? Even if you could swear that you just plucked it three days ago?

You could buy a pair of tweezers and leave it on her desk. Then again, some hints are TOO subtle for some.

As your elder follicle femme fatale, I feel it is my duty to say Beware the White Hair. It seems the black ones get all the attention, if only because they scream for it. But the white ones are out there. Quiet. Insideous. Long. And they only show up in natural daylight. So next time you're talking to a neighbor on a sunny afternoon, and said neighbor keeps looking at your chin, you might want to take a peek in a rear view car mirror. And please remember to clasp your hand over your mouth before you scream.

What about the random upper arm hair? What's that called, anyway??
How did you get Fig to stick out his tongue? Too funny!

Love the title....

I love that cat!
Of course, I would tell you. Gently and quietly, but yes, I would tell you.
I used my canvas grocery store bag this afternoon. Had to go back to get it because I left it in the car. It's hell getting old, Sandy. Don't do it!
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to spend some quality time with my tweezers. ♥

I'm with you. I wouldn't tell. Most likely, she already knows it's there anyway. I mean, she's got to look into the mirror sometime, right?
