I guess this is something most women don't want to talk about. Thanks to menopause, I now own a 15x maginfing mirror with a LED light. Those hairs drive me nuts.

Hey Patti, It really does!! I remember my mom always saying to tell her if I saw a "wild Hair". Thought it was funny when I was in my 30's, but not anymore!. NOw it is eyebrows getting thin, and lots of white ones in what is left( can't take all of those out,) can"t see in the mirror to pluck the fine ones, and the stiff black ones darn near leave holes when they get plucked. Then there are the chin hairs!! I have one that I never can see, only feel. Thank goodness my daughter keeps tabs for me!!

I had an Aunt in the nursing home..I would go every week or two and wax her face...When she died...I told the people at the funeral home not to show her to anyone unless all her chin hair was gone...I think she would come back to haunt me otherwise..She was on Tamoxifen for breast cancer...

I get a stiff one on my chin that I have to pluck every week or so....my whole face is fuzzier...peach fuzz...yuck! My eyebrows seems to be getting thinner though....so glad not to have a period but why all these other changes. Now that doctors are saying hot flashes are good for women our age I can't complain about them....well...maybe just a little bit....

I hear ya! It's one among many that I hate as I get older. The most supprising thing to me is I never thought I wouldn't be able to kneel down then get back up without something to lean on- wrong , can't skip any more either, ya know when you were younger you" sang skip to my lou" and skipped along, wouldn't even think about roller skateing. This is getting depressing so I'am gona stop. :lol: :lol:

And why is it that the hair on our heads gets gray, but the chin hairs are black? If they were gray then they wouldn't be so noticable. No fair!
