You know you are old if you know what song I'm talking about.
You're in good company.
I'm old too.
I'm so old that my eyebrows are forming a bridge in which my dandruff can cross without any effort.
(Bridge to eyebrowithia)
It's o.k. though.
When I go to pencil them, I'll just have to draw one straight line. Or curved. Depending on the mood I'm in.
The older I get, the more caveman-like I look.
Do nurses, or c.n.a.'s in the nursing home pluck peoples whiskers?
Who does that?
Are you supposed to assign people in your family to do that?
I'd better assign that to the one sister that still talks to me.
Otherwise it's going to have to be my brother,
and I'm pretty sure he'll see nothing wrong with whiskers on my face.
(segway)
"Duh Carrot."
Funniest moment of the summer...
Girls camp director stands up and quiets everyone and says,
"The YCL's (youth camp leaders) have prepared a song to help us invite the spirit..."
Six girls sit on the stage, with one playing the ukulele, and start to sing.
"Hmmm" I think. "Where have I heard this song?"
It dawns on me about 10 minutes later, after singing the chorus over and over in my head.
It was "Halo" by Beyonce.
You know you live in the hood when you sing Beyonce to invite the spirit.
You know it's time to end when you start talking like Jeff Foxworthy.
Thank you, and goodnight.

What the...? I'm first? Really?
I still can't believe it!
I need a moment here...
You would think if they were going to play a Beyonce song to invite the spirit,it would've been Irreplaceable..or Suga Mama.
The older I get--and I'm a WHOLE LOT OLDER than you, the harder it is for me to see those whiskers. (So I think the trick for me is to just hang out with people older than me who maybe can't see them either. Oh, that won't work, there aren't many people older than me ; )
Ooooo!!! I would have sung "Single Ladies" it has a great message! :)
I love the girl in the picture, we're eyebrow twins!
My bff, the one you met, would pluck facial hairs for women if asked. I think I'll assign her to do mine. I must be presentable.
I totally do that for my mom. I'll be driving us somewhere and I'll look over and see the hairs that she can't see. Next stop light I pull out my tweezers (yes I'm that vain! I will forget when I get assaulted by the 'mom' stuff when I get home) and pluck those babies outta there.
We girls gotta stick together.
Hi Carrot!
Tweezers are my worst enemy.
I was the one who plucked my great aunt's chin hairs, brushed her false teeth and irrigated the open wound on her foot. no one else would do it
Yes, interesting choice of spirit bringer...exactly what type of spirit were they trying to bring?
The spirit of "yo mama"?
I am getting the unibrow and SOMEBODY misplaced my tweezers! Oh for the love! I will never forget seeing my grandma in an elderly home and the nurse down at her feet with goggles on and gloves on going to town on her toenails. Ewww! You just can't pay me enough;)
P.S. I usually start out talking like Jeff Foxworthy and don't finish....ever.
You can't always count on your family. Last week I found long dark hair on my neck that my 3 adult daughters missed. If it happens again they are out of the will.
I have never heard of that first song, does that mean I'm not old?
Actually if I heard it I would probably remember it.
I am not sure what halo by beyonce is either so I guess that tells you that I am old.
That was fabulous. Thank you! I'm still chuckling.
You know what would be really cool? Chin hairs on Beyonce!
I'm just sayin'....
Halo is the song that never ends....yes, it goes on and on and on, my friends.
I can still hear the Halo Halo Halo Halo echo effect. It's fighting Rihanna's Umbrella Brella Brella Brella for living space in my brain.
We're supposed to pluck? Ohhh, I've been shaving ;)
No, seriously... I have. That fuzzy crap on my upper lip, although blond, still is visible in sunlight and getting longer all the time. At least it never gets a stubbly feeling, it goes from smooth and clean to soft and showing and it's slow growing at least.
