I am joining the crowd here. Like my reading glasses, I have tweezers everywhere. But I am in search of the perfect tweezer.
One of the best things about menopause is that I am so warm all of the time that it saves on electricity. Actually other than the whisker thing, I embraced the menopause thing.

I have laughed until the tears came. I am the youngest of four girls, and now the only one still living. I am 72. All I heard for years and years was "Wait until you are my age". I brezed along without changing at all, at least not much, until I hit 40, and it seemed like I aged 10 years in the first couple of months. I had what I called a blah look, like there was no life in my eyes . I looked at myself in the mirror and couldn't figure it out until my sister pointed it out one day. Then I was told," Wait until you hit 50!!" The facial hair thing for me didn't start until I was about 65. It isn"t bad, , but it's there. I just shave that little mustach when necessary, and also the peach fuzz ids clipped close with scisdsors. It doesn"t grow back dark and stiff like a man's does. I tried the creams, but it caused me to have a bad rash, so that was out! But isnt life great? And where else can I find so many "sisters" to laugh about growing old with? I wish we could throw a big party and spend time together. People would probably look at us and think we were a bunch of crazy old ladies !!

I occasionally wax my "hair spots" on my face if I have more than a couple.
I hope it won't get worse as I get older!

Boob hair, huh? Is it dark and wiry? I always thought menopause made you lose more hair than you gained. Do you still have hair on your legs and other familiar places? I should look this stuff up...

My first chin hair was brought to my attention by a gal who came and stood by me at my desk at work. This gal said, I need to get something for you and then proceed at lightening speed to grab ahold and pull it out. Then she says.....obviously you didn't know it was there (it was about an inch long). It suffices to say I get the little suckers now as soon as they stick their heads above the skin! What an awakening that was!
