Oprah

i'm not sure i would want everyone in the world to watch Oprah but i def. think watching it would be of great benefit to some people i know ... when i started watching it way back when, i remember thinking that it was entertaining but not really much more entertaining than any other show... ... but now when i watch it, i find that everyday i seem to walk away wishing some of my friends would watch it too. i think some people out there could really learn from it. it's always so enlightening.

yesterday's show was about etiquette advice - ask the expert. (this really has no relevance to the paragraph above) So she had a panel of experts on answering all sorts of questions from, what to wear when visiting the gynecologist to the brazilian wax. it was a little refreshing to see that other women wonder socks on or socks off when in the stirrups ... in any case, if you're wondering, the consensus was socks on, shoes off. who wants to put their bare feet in those things anyway.. you don't know who's feet were there ... and does a brazilian wax really make one more free? do i need to be more free?? on a scale of 1-10 giving birth is a 10. they said a brazilian wax is about an 8.5. wow.. that's a lot of voluntary pain.

i may have to particpate in that one day just to say i've done it,... but not today... or anytime in my near future.

i stared writing this blog a month ago and now, i have no idea where i was going with it... so i'm just going to post this as is. one less unfinished thing on my list.

With men, it's not the pain that's the main deterrent, it's the maneuvering around obstacles with a sharp object that adds the element of danger.
Do you have any idea how difficult it is to hold a mirror between the knees while clutching aftershave in one hand and straight razor in the other?
And we're not just talking about a 'Landing Strip', now a days, to be current, you should sport 'Boy Band Sideburns' or a 'Crop Circle Formation'.
