Hey Oak, I still have to (or should ) pluck my eyebrows, etc. and do other stuff on my face.

But yes, I could wear a strapless dress ..right now and be hair free in the 'pits. Or pull on my cycling shorts ...and run around in the snow...unembarrassed but cold...

I actually was oblivious to this hairless trend for first few months (a few yrs. ago) because I never shaved all the time anyway. Then I realized that I was being forgetful but after examining self...

The only saving grace...for someone with naturally black hair.

Do not put your jeans in the washer and dryer until you have removed your lip gloss from the pocket. Unless you want little grease spots on the rest of the load of laundry, as a sort of design element.

What I meant to post:

1. When removing tape from a small object, do not hold it in your fingers and use a knife pointed directly at the palm of your hand.

2. A scab will too scratch a contact lens.

650 tires just don't go on 700 wheels. I've learned that the hard way. In the middle of nowhere...

Don't break your Good Friday fast with margaritas. Especially not if you have a 9 am choir practice the next day... OWWW

a memory from childhood and my very first stapler: Yes staples DO hurt when shot into your palm.

I rejoice in my nice natural 'animal fur areas'.

You have animal fur?

When you are cleaning and your gloves are dripping with bleach, do not rub your nose. And if you do, don't inhale...

Owning a cat and a goldfish is ok. But owning a cat and a goldfish and sitting the fish bowl on top of your new stereo is not ok.

You should first make sure that your thumb is off the power button of the electric kitchen mixer before you lick the beaters!!! It's not cool!
