It is official.

I am OLD.   I have a grey hair in one of my eyebrows.

Admit it, you were just looking for a good excuse to use that icon.

Speaking of which, do you know who the ladies in this icon are? I got it in your last post and someone asked after it. (btw, I've gotten four or five compliments recently from various internetters about my awesome iconomicon icons used!)

You picked up? I heard not a thing and figured you were on that thing where your phone rings for ever and ever and ever without giving me voicemail, so I gave up. You shoulda called me back, foolio! I wanted to brag as I had just purchased your gift and it's only fun to give gifts if you can be all I BOUGHT YOU SOMETHING OMG about it.

Or not.

I'm probably crossing some kind of boundary by saying this (oops! sorry!), but I think you are not officially old until you get grey hair in your pubes.

I would love temple grey. So far it's just a few random ones in my beard. And one in my eyebrow.

have you seen those Just For Men ads for "Touch of Grey"? They always make me laugh. Dyed hair makes you look young and inexperienced. Grey hair makes you look like an old fart. But Touch of Grey gives you the perfect balance of Youth and Vigor with that hint of experience the women adore.

Give me a break.

One gray eyebrow hair

Greetings and welcome to the New OLD MAN. ;-) I am nearly 50, have had intermittent gray in my hair since early 20's, that became permanent in my mid-30's and grown from just the occasional gray hair. As a yet older friend told me at the time, there are worse things than gray hair in one's beard, etc. Just wait until your chest (and other puberty) hair starts turning white. So, OOOOOLD Man, if you are 40 yet, I say, "Welcome to the Middle Ages." In any event, have a good, Jack! and if it really bugs you tweezers or small scissors can temporarily remove the offending strand.

Me too. I have been wishing for grey hair since high school. I should have specified - on my head! I also get white hairs in my eyebrows. :/

I've been old for nigh on a decade now: I started getting grey hair in high school and now have large, highly-visible streaks.

I'm 25. :p

I was going to wish you happy birthday tomorrow.
this is not what you need...

clearly, you need either:

A) a round of stiff drinks,
or
B) JUST FOR MEN (no one can tell!) eyebrow coloring!
or
C) TWEEZERS. and quit yer whining!

sorry. just trying to be helpful. (ahem! now to less serious things)
I turned 37 a few weeks ago. now all my joints hurt: coincidence? I don't think so.
hope you have a super fantastic birthday!!!
hugs, anna
