Where the hell did that come from? Maybe my girly part got frightened. Maybe it’s been under stress lately. Or, maybe I’m just getting old. Nah, that can’t be it. ---

Yah know, I was just wondering today, if non-head hair goes grey. It’s not like I’m about to take a poll of my friends and family. I had even started mentally composing the OP. Thanks, **hillbilly queen** , now I know. ---

For some strange reason, I’m growing white hairs on my forehead. Used to be just one above the right eyebrow, now there’s one in the middle and one above the left eyebrow as well. ---

I’ve got a swath of facial hair just under my right sideburn that, if I let it grow put, if bright white. I first noticed it in fall of 2003. I was growing out a beard, and thoguht i got paint on me (a legitamate thought, since I was paiting that day.) After washings and even a pluck or two to be sure, I confirmed that those hairs were white and were destined to stay that way. ---

Shave it or dye it or learn to live with it. That’s my experience. 😃 ---

It’s odd. I have grey hair on my head and in my mustache, and a couple on my chest. But none of The Hairs Down There are grey yet. It’s unfair! ---

I think we should have a contest. I bet I’ve got the most gray pubic hairs. ---

Don’t worry about your gray hair. It’ll eventually have lots of other gray hairs to keep it company and make it seem less obvious. ---

I just shaved off my mustache and I’ve been shaving my head since before I started getting grey in my mustache so I am currently grey-free. I guess that won’t last forever, will it? ---

Oh, Jesus, **chaoticdonkey**. You just had to mention that didn’t you? Considering just _how_ single I am at the moment, there is absolutely no way in hell I am going to start shaving anywhere new. The only person who might possibly see is my cat and somehow I doubt she’d care. I could light my pubic hair on fire and she wouldn’t care. She _is_ a cat. Unless it somehow interfered with feeding time… ---

Unless it somehow interfered with feeding time… It’s OK. I plan on subjecting my sideburn trimmer to unspeakable horror when it gets adopted to tidy up The Pubic Hair. I’ve gotta wait until a day where my mom has to work, though, because I know I’m 18, and I know that I can do what I want with my pubic hair, but… this just isn’t the kind of thing that you expose your parents to.
