I'm convinced that my husbands eyebrows are going to turn into living creatures by the time he's old. Think wooly worm type critters. They are already starting to get unruly and he's only 33

Looks like you missed the joke as well...

Cinco de Mayo = 5th of May

...

It's like, what's the number for 911?

...

...but at least now I know to break out the super glue on May 2nd...

Edit: I obviously missed your Cinco de Mayo lol, but I'll keep my post as is so I can look even more foolish...

Ear Hair - why, oh why did it have to be ear hair?

I also have wooly worm eyebrows, but it's only like 5 out of the dozens of eyebrows I have, so the girl that cuts my hair (Oh top of my head, not the ones in my nose or ears) tirms my eyebrows for me. First time she did it it was embarressing. Now it's an every trip event, so I'm over it. LOL

As for Ear/Nose hair: Thanks for the tips, I'm getting older, you know those mid thirties and all that. I have used the tweezer technique before (well, that and the whole, red finger technique: you know, put so much pressure on the hair that your fingers turn red to ensure enough grip?), so not using that is pretty good information!!! =P But as for ear hair, well, I at this time don't seem to have that issue just yet.

Now if I could just figure out how to keep from shaving every day!

Considering the recent passing of David Arneson this month and Gary Gygax last year, along with the 5th Anniversary of CoX coming around the corner, I'd like to request a mostly useless info post about the history of RPGs, from the 70s to today.

I did do a couple posts when Gary Gygax died:

Mr E-Man's semi-regular & mostly useless information post #360

Gary Gygax and Origins of Dungeons & Dragons – Part One

Mr E-Man’s semi-regular & mostly useless information post #361

Gary Gygax and Origins of Dungeons & Dragons – Part Two

A post about the history of RPGs, from the 70s to today will need to be a multi-part epic.

I will look into it after I get the use of my left hand back in a couple weeks.

Well yes, that's because Gary Gygax did D&D. But David Arneson is is generally unknown reason we don't just have RTS games. He was the person that provided the generally strange suggestion of switching players from commanding large armies (with the various large scale historical combat games) to commanding a single individual. We wouldn't have any of the RPGs many of us have come to cherish without him.

Sore...

Some aspects feel better, some worse than the right hand.

I guess, for the most part it is different, but similar.

The doctor did remark that it was healing quickly.

It "looks" like it's healing better if that means anything
