I just plucked a gray eyebrow hair.

Can it get any more depressing than that?

1. Gray moves south. If you get my drift.

So I would have to say that It does get more depressing.
Youth is wasted on the young anyway.

2. If I did that with all my eyebrow hairs

I'd need wigs over my eyes.

Hi,
Giggle, I have like two gigantic gray ones on my chest, no eyebrows yet, but if I let my beard grow *white*, not even gray on my chin.

Peace

4. Crap. That happened to me about two weeks ago.

I'm only 46! Eh, at least we can pluck 'em, for a while.

5. my husband saw a grey hair on his head

and literally said, "whoh, Oh man, did you see this?"
I just laughed at him.
I'm 37, but I've been coloring my hair almost 10 years already. I was not going to be grey at 28 dammit.

8. Yes, it can be more depressing.

The morning you look in the bathroom mirror and see mom or dad looking back at you. It's a moment.

9. You could have a grey hair growing out of a mole.... so it is hard to see when it gets long.

10. Approximately 32% of my facial hairs are gray. Do I pluck all of them out?

There's a depressing visual for ya...

11. Wait until they decide to stand up.

So I'd have to say yes.

14. I started going gray in my 20s

Edited on Mon Aug-03-09 11:04 PM by AllenVanAllen

I've got the whole Mr. Fantastic thing going now.

The gray hair doesn't bother me so much as the rapidly increasing nose and ear hairs. Oh, and those are gray too...

17. The nose and ear hairs, along with the caterpillars over my eyes

are what does it for me. I don't mind the silvery gray on the top of my head, when I'm somewhat tanned they look great, but the constant shaving and plucking of the other stuff is getting old (along with me).

18. I remember the first time I saw a "caterpillar"

eyebrow hair. Why all of a sudden do these hairs which (have been content to be one length my entire life) decide they want to grow twice the size? Personal grooming time has lengthened for sure!
Overall I don't mind getting older for the most part I've gotten smarter too and that counts for a lot in my book.
