I have no idea, but something about it tells me no.

Redness of the beet hue I imagine. It would be sooo painful, too. Tamar, if you've ever had your legs waxed how could you even ask that question? :blink: :lol:

never had my legs waxed, and other places I have waxed (which I would think would be pretty darn high on the sensitive scale) aren't so bad- it pinches and then it's over.

I'm not suggesting this for you Ron, I'm just curious as to why this has never been a possibility for men. Don't women get their lips and eyebrows waxed without any problems?

Shaving. I hate it. Right now it feels like someone took a power sander to my neck.

I assume you've tried obvious strategies like using an oil before applying soap?

Problem is with waxing, the hair has to grow for a while in order for there to be something for the wax to grab onto.

What about Nair for the face? That would make sense, right?

@#$#@ jaw still aching, and work is hell. I wish I had some things to put in the "Reasons to be Cheerful" thread to balance all the Annoyance postings I've done lately.

It is absolutely freezing in my office. This is a 24/7/365 condition but insult was added to injury when I moved downstairs several months ago and discovered that my new desk sits directly under an a/c vent. The a/c was turned on several weeks ago. Why, you may ask, when yesterday morning it was 45 F? When I complained about the chill to the office manager she gave me a portable heater. She has them on hand which leads me to believe the thermostat is turned too low for almost everyone. Well, my feet are nice and toasty but I'm still wearing a coat inside. :blink:

students who did not drop their papers off by the deadline and a full day later haven't yet bothered to let their professor know if they're going to (grades for the semester are due tomorrow). i am tempted to give them an "f" as my syllabus says i will in such circumstances. but then i recall my own history with deadlines.

New front & rear brakes for the Subaru – calipers, rotors and everything: $950. That's $950 I won't be spending on perennials this spring.

You and Yvonne should have "Things I explicitly told my students that they should not do that the fuckwits subsequently did" thread where you could compare notes.

If you mean scrotum/testicles, then yes it means the same thing.

The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born,
and sets a food discussion site?
