    But then there is the whole hair issue. Men's hair migrates as they age. I no long have any hair on my calves and the bald spot is getting just a little bigger as I age. I'm basically ok with that.

    However, whyinthehell did it have to move to my shoulders, back, ears and nose? Not just the nostril hair but hair growing on the outside of my nose. My arm hair now goes half way up the back of my hand.

    I'd love it if the hair on the front of my legs would disappear as well...

    Oh yeah, and that pesky mustache that I seem to have developed & have to keep bleaching.....

    I wouldn't mind it if ALL the hair on my legs (or calves at least) would disappear. But no. It's just the outside of my calves and the shins.

    And then there is the rest of the Darwin sweater...

    Who was it that used to do the comedy routine about zits migrating as we age? They retire and move South to a place where there's a full moon and a nice breeze...

    I shave mine every couple days. In the shower. With the same razor I use on my armpits and legs.

    Dear body,

    How did you get so sick so fast? Do you think you could see your way to getting better that quickly, too? Because, you know, I like to breathe without pain.

    Thanks,
    Me.

    Dear So and So
    I am part of an all-volunteer association/club. Some of us have jobs.
    The person who is in charge of the website has repeatedly written over other people's files. To fix that problem, we put all of her (our club's) files in a protected directory and changed the password for all t he rest.
    Since I am related to this person, when she couldn't find her original files i went to her house and set her up with a specific directory for these files and I even set up her FTP program so she would be going to the right place each time.
    Today she asked me to send her a link to the website! I suggested she google it. She said she already had (it's right there for the world to see) and would i send her the link.

    So back to the all-volunteer thing. If she doesn't do it, i'm not sure anyone else in the club can or will besides me, and I already have 2 1/2 other jobs relating to this club.

    this person is my mother. This issue (of her appearing to be totally clueless or just losing it) is really wearing on our relationship, as is the fact that i have to help her do it all... (She's the one who volunteered!)

    I don't know what to do.

    I did not realize that it was a migration issue for men. Thanks for the laugh!
