I apologize for the expression. The only reason I used it was a recollection from an old TV sitcom called Still Standing where the wife played by Jami Gertz is pestering hubby played by Mark Addy to write a letter to her for her to read after his passing. He writes one which says "Boo". She gets angry and tells him "You could say something nice, you love me, how sad you are that I'm gone, {that expression}, something more than just Boo." He says ok and takes the paper to add to it. She tells him"If you put "Hoo" after the "Boo"..." and glares at him. I thought the scene was cute and it stuck in my mind.

If you think you're not in the best of shape, you should see me. Of course, round is a shape so I can claim to being in shape too.

I had laser on my ears about 8 or 10 yeas ago. Sort of worked, but they've been regrowing. I think it's too late for laser for me now as I have so many gray hairs and laser doesn't work on gray. I know there was some sort of topical salve or ointment that was new back then that imbued the hairs with something so that the laser could work on them. My biggest issue is the cost. I think it would run me between $8,000 and $20,000 to deforest.

I've been taking finasteride since 1999 in an attempt to delay the inevitable. The first 10 years as Propecia (which is finasteride 1mg), then as generic finasteride 5mg. Mother nature is slowly claiming her due, but slowly. So I know full well the fight against the effects of gravity on head hair as it slides inexorably from the head to the eyebrows, ears and nose.
