Then, for writing so beautifully about it, and, finally, for dishing up the humor in a way that doubles me over. Takes a lot to do that before I start the morning. Thanks to you and MW. I have my own additions but I can't talk about it!riversgracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05813321755005138766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33237885.post-46948068214762158702007-10-16T20:30:00.000-07:002007-10-16T20:30:00.000-07:00Jerri, you're beautiful and I don't care how old y...Jerri, you're beautiful and I don't care how old you are. Maybe it's easy for me to say that, but being somewhat younger sucks in other ways, so don't forget that. :)Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05322705929720573545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33237885.post-49147539473297423832007-10-16T19:31:00.000-07:002007-10-16T19:31:00.000-07:00Thanks for making me laugh about this shit.

I want to know A. who has time for that, B. who the hell can see to tie thin thread around each and every one of those little buggers (especially if they're on your neck), and C. whether I'll end up sweeping up little knots and bits of skin off my kitchen floor in a few days.<BR/><BR/>Getting old sucks. The least we can do is have a sense of humor about it.

I have found that using AlphaHydrox lotion helps to dry them out and exfoliate much quicker. I enjoy your writing!Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10906144034185420648noreply@blogger.com
