Boogers

I have what I consider a large Native American nose. I am terribly self conscious about it and try my best not to accentuate it. Unfortunately with it being attached to the front of my face and all, I have a hard time drawing attention away from my nose. Don't wear sunglasses...that eliminates the eyes. Smile...that pulls to the mouth. Whatever you do, avoid my nose.

So whenever I even THINK there may be a bat in the cave, I have to figure out a way to excavate the item with as little attention to my nose as possible. Don't you just hate it when your are trying to hold a conversation and all you see is that crusty booger sneaking out from the bottom of the other person's nose? What do you say?

How about those people that have the Repunzel nose hairs? Are you tempted to whip out your swiss army knife, flip out the scissors and take a quick snip? You know as a friend you should mention it. But what if it is a job interview? I am afraid I would never hear the question because I was thinking of the 20 different ways to grab ahold of that nosehair and give it a good yank.

All this talk of nosehairs makes my nose tickle...I hate that.

But now, my ears have started to come to the forefront. As we age, it is believed by many that two things continue to grow: your nose and ears. Actually, scientist have determined that the nose is not growth, but droop. The cartilage in the nose is thinner and softer thus creating a droop. Noone has definitively determined that your ears and nose continue to grow.

The other problem with aging is...ear hair. It is one thing to have nose hair. But ear hair is a totally different story. I really can't see my ear well enough to pluck those nasty ear hairs. All I can do is either ask the Queen to help out or hope the hair grows long enough to wrap around the Q-tip when I clean my ears.

This brings me to my point (as I almost always have one). They have medicine to help hair grow. Why can't they make one to eliminate ear and nose hair. Don't get me wrong, Nose hair actually has a purpose and usually performs that function quite well. They snag the pollen and particles to prevent them from piling up in your lungs.

But, let's just make it stop. I don't want ear hair, additional or extended nose hair, or even beard hair. Give me a pill to make it disappear. Think about that hair in other places you would love to have disappear. No more shaving of legs, backs or nether regions. I really hate it when my legs have razor stubble.

Did you know...

Slugs have 4 noses.

Why stop on the precipice of absolute revulsion? Why not tell them about our nightly "grooming" routine?

Being as my xanga name is pulling_my_hair_out, obviously I have issues with hair. Thankfully it's the hair on my head that I pull, but the hair in "other areas" is my major nemesis. I hope a compassionate scientist reads your post and develops a cure for hair growth in not-so-appopropriate places! ;-)
