Yup. I get 'em. They tend to be thicker and “bristlier” than the others too. Longer and stick straight up. I refer to them as my Scottish eyebrows. Used to pluck 'em until someone noted that over plucking will eventually lead to not growing at all, which is a Bad Thing when it comes to eyebrows. Ear and nose hairs are going apeshit, too. Getting older is dumb. ---

I’m going to grow mine out and brush them back over the [DEL]bald[/DEL] thinning spot. Stay tuned! ---

I too have one eyebrow hair that is extra long. It annoys the hell out of my wife, so of course I let it grow. I also have one long hair growing out of my (expanding) forehead, and I keep threatening to grow out my nose hairs and braid them! Getting old sucks! ---

My husband got a random hair trimmer for Christmas and now keeps all his stray eyebrow hair in line, thank Og. Wasn’t it Bill Cosby or someone who said that his eyebrows had gotten tired of lying down and had decided to stand up for a while?
