My husband wiggled his eyebrows at me while I changed into my "at home" clothes after Church. "You're looking good," he smiled. I looked heavenward and thanked God that aging means that eyesight begins to fail just about the time he might say, "I didn't need to see that." That is an argument for intelligent design.
I still haven't figured the evolutionary or intelligent design principle in making a random hair begin to grow on one's jawline after a certain age. Is it supposed to make one (it hasn't happened to me yet, of course) less attractive? What would be the point? A clear message from the powers that be that "those days" are over? I pretended that I'd been cooking with orange juice and got sticky, and one of the dog hairs flying through the air attached to my chin. Now, I have to get my glasses to look periodically, for my eyesight has also failed and as far as I could see, there was nothing there.
Part of me is motivated to see I can get those abs back I had when I was younger. Unfortunately, that part is in my brain and isn't connected to my legs which would have to move to accomplish this. On a cold day, a cup of tea and a good book do not move me forward but do bring comfort. Stay warm, y'all.

I don't know, but I have to do the chin hair patrol quite often too. Funny that dog hair would be less embarrassing. :-)
Cathy, I remember Grandma (Nora) cutting those chin hairs every day with, believe it not, huge sewing shears with black handles. How she managed it with failing eyesight I'll never know. I can barely get them with nail clippers. But, then, I am QUITE a bit older than you.
