What the hell is going on with my eyebrows?

I spent a good 30 minutes a few days ago plucking them and trimming them with one of those little grooming trimmers.

I just happened to look in the mirror now, and there's a big white single hair growing out of my left eyebrow that's the thickness of a 12 gauge copper wire, and it's so long, that I'm tripping over it.

I have to trim them about twice a week. They grow so fast that after a few days, I can use my thumbnail for a spoon.

than I ever have (yet) ... so my perspective is likely pretty different.

I'd be looking at any recent meds added to your regimen if it were me, but I'm not a doctor.

I can, however, run it by my PA girlfriend, and will, if you'd like. She's off work and should be here shortly.

Though she's not a DU'er, technically, she's def. 'one of us'

from their latest software update. Don't mess with it. You might go into a groundhog day loop.

As the white hairs come in, they're a wee bit thicker than the regular ones and when they grow around my lip line drive me absolutely nuts.

And gotta love the ones that show up in my nostrils...

The nose hairs...Jesus...the nose hairs.

When my mom was in the nursing home, I used to have to go shave her about once a week.

Those were bonding moments. I actually enjoyed doing it.

Like the old joke:

Why do Italian men grow mustaches?

So they can look like their mothers.

I'm Italian, so I can tell that joke.

I only discovered a few months ago that it has a guard for trimming eyebrows. Works surprisingly well, too.

surface of my nose needs to grow some hairs? Never been there before...not enough to protect from sun or confer any other advantage that I can see...just there to annoy?
