Comment from Alexandra Trovato
This is a funny story for everyone but your friend. I for one am not fascinated by eyebrows but yes people are. This is a well written non fiction biographical story. You use good descriptions, imagery, and emotional words and dialogue. Thank you for sharing this.
Best wishes,
Alex :)

Thanks so much for the wonderful review Alex. Tim is one tough hombre, he'll either figure some way to disguise the mistake or just take the verbal ribbing from his friends. I don't understand the whole eyebrow interest either, but I do know that if you aren't sporting any, it looks kind of weird. I can't see yours because of your baseball cap, but I bet you have some. I suspect they go well with your smile.
Have a blessed evening gal.

Yes, Thank you, Tom! Have a blessed evening too. Alex
Comment from LateBloomer
Hi Tom, this is a fun story. I tried to anticipate what my husband would do. I know he would not shave the other eyebrow off. He confirmed my suspicions. I asked him what he would do. He said that he would put a band-aid on it, like it was an injury.
I think he needs to carefully trim the other eyebrow and get used to penciling his eyebrow until it grows back in which could take months to a year, but since his brows are bushy, it may only take a few months.
Of note:
Her dad happened to be the local police chief, so I don't know if she was trying to embarrass him or what.
(T, from what I have seen growing up, and as a mother, it seems that children of police enforcement are "many," but not always problematic.)
I see that your brother Mark was a typical brother. It's a good thing that you took a look at yourself before you went out.
A fun story that made me smile. Well done. Margaret

Hello Margaret,
thanks so much for the hilarious review. I never thought about a band-aid. In all sincerity, this is what I like about having so many people weigh in on a subject. There are so many good ideas that can surface to solve a problem. Please tell your husband I said well done. I've not known too many kids whose parents were cops, but it seemed to be an issue with pastor's kids. I think they're afraid that they will be labeled a goody-two-shoes.
Have a blessed evening gal.
Tom

Pastors ... police officers ... both are authority figures. Hmmmmmmm.
Food for thought. Margaret

You have a talent for taking the simplest things and turning them into something everyone finds amusing, unless they lack funny bones. You make every day more fun. Thanks!

Hello Carol,
what a very kind thing to say. I'm both honored and humbled by your statement. Thank you very much. I get so tired of all the division in this country. Deep down I think we all want the same things, we just go about them differently. If I can bring a little humor to anyone's day, it's my absolute pleasure to do it.
Have a blessed evening gal.
Tom
Comment from LJbutterfly
Accidently shaving off an eyebrow is a humorous problem for a man. A woman would just shave off the remaining brow and use an eyebrow pencil to draw on new brows.
I met my husband when he was age 19. He was hairy with a mustache. One day he accidently shaved one side off. He therefore had to remove the other side. At the time, I thought he looked funny with both lips exposed. No matter what your friend does, he's going to look different...and maybe funny.

Hello LJ,
thanks so much for the humorous review. I have a mustache and have had for years. I remember when Alex Trebeck of Jeopardy shaved off his mustache, I couldn't believe it. He just didn't look the same. So far I haven't shaved off half of mine, but I have trimmed it pretty short on one side, then had to shorten the other trying to make it straight. I was afraid that by the time I got done I'd look like Oliver Hardy of Laurel and Hardy fame, with just a little square under my nose. I do wish Tim would send a picture, but I'd probably just post it, and then he wouldn't ever hear the end of it.
Have a blessed evening gal.

Comment from Jim Wile
I enjoyed this, Tom. It's an interesting problem your friend created for himself. If his eyebrows are anything like mine, it will grow back on its own in two weeks.
Interesting how different things grow and shrink as we get older.My ears and feet seem to be growing, but the pants hanging in my closet are definitely shrinking. My belly is growing, but the duration of my short-term memory is... is... uh, what was I blathering on about?

Hello Jim,
I share the same problem my friend. I won't go into what else is shrinking and growing, but it's all the wrong stuff. I guess knowing that I'm not alone brings some comfort, but not a lot. We just have to learn to go with the flow I guess, and be happy we're still on the right side of the dirt. Thanks so much for the fun review.
Have a blessed day.
Tom
Comment from Karen Cherry Threadgill
I swear you must be my twin, separated at birth, the way you think and write. I have been laughing my ass off. (unfortunately, It is all still there ). Mascara might help. Also, they now have these fill-in things on Pinterest for filling in eyebrows and balding places along hairlines, etc. I looked at them, but don't need them ......yet. :-) Karen

Hi Karen, or should I say Sis? I've never heard of such a thing. What, are they like, velcro eyebrows. That would be kind of neat. If they don't have it yet, I could perhaps invent velcro chest hair for guys like me who aren't really hairy and want to look more manly at the beach or pool. Of course if it came off, it could cause a stir if it clogged the filters. Thanks so much for the great review gal.
Have a blessed day.

I just adore you. The way you say things cracks me up. Your wife and kids must be happy people. Are you the storyteller?
The joke teller. I am in my family. They actually do have adhesive eyebrows, but I have only seen them for women. Adhesive chest hair would not work due to sweating, I would think. Nothing would be worse than cozying up to your dearly beloved and as she runs her fingers through your oh so manly chest hair, for it to come off in her hand. If they can do hair plugs for your scalp they could do it for your chest don't you think? :-) Karen

Hello Karen,
I obviously didn't think the whole chest rug through. Chest hair plugs might be an option though, if you could stand the pain. I guess it would be worth it if you spent a lot of time at the beach. Not much beach in Alaska, so I'd probably pass. I've been blessed with a good sense of humor, as it appears you have too. I suspect you were a Far Side fan.

Great minds think alike. I wish I'd thought of drawing cartoons years ago, with my sense of humor I could have made a few bucks and retired like Gary Larson. Now newspapers are becoming a thing of the past and I don't know where people will get their cartoons.
Comment from pome lover
You are a riot! I think I've read about enough wayward hairs to last me awhile. Maybe your friend is thinking up a "gotcha." Is he the type?
You have had some "hairy" experiences. har!
Would you believe we're suppose to be 82 degrees Thursday? Last week we were cold.
Enjoyed your crazy hair stories.
Hope all is well up there in the frozen north :)

Hello Katharine,
thanks so much for the wonderful review. Wow, 82 degrees! I would just melt. It's relatively warm here right now, low forties. The snow is melting pretty good, but I have had to wash the car three times this week, and by the time I get it home it's dirty again because of all the snowmelt and dirt on the streets. I think it's supposed to drop below zero again this weekend, but for now we're enjoying the warmer weather.
Have a blessed day gal.

too bad there's not some silicone spray for cars where the dirt would just slide right off. wouldn't that be a great invention!
Comment from barbara.wilkey
I couldn't help but smile and giggle in a few places as I read. It is an interesting question, that I never thought about. Why are so many people fascinated with the hair that grows on our bodies? Thank you for sharing. So far this is the most interesting post I've read today.

Hello Barbara,
thanks so much for the great review gal. I don't know what the fascination is with hair, but it seems to be common in this country now. When one of my twins was in high school, he used several of my old Bic disposable razors to shave his head. My daughter heard him and his brother laughing, so she went into the bathroom to see what was going on. He had cuts all over his scalp. She was afraid it would get infected, so she put hydrogen peroxide on it, and his whole head bubbled up. She thought that was pretty funny.
Have a blessed day gal.
Tom
Comment from damommy
There isn't much he can do about it without looking weird. Regarding your brother painting your face, did you really trust him to do that? Old ladies don't need to shave their legs anymore, but that growth went to the chin. hahahaha

So Yvonne, are you saying that you don't need to shave your legs because the hair doesn't grow there or because you're not interested in going on a date? Jan and I had a teacher in art class in high school who used to have to shave on a regular basis. She grew a better beard than I did. I would have been jealous, but she was so weird. Thanks so much for the great review gal.
Have a blessed day.

No growth there anymore. Yayyy!
Comment from Julie Helms
So I woke up this morning and thought, hey, I will get on fan story and see if there is anything of interest to read. And yours was the first offering I came to, and what a good one it was!
There is nothing like starting off the day with shaved eyebrows, or, eyebrow, Indian face paint that resembles a lady of the night, or an alien teenager embarrassing their father. And then... The authors note, with a lovely tour of your body hair that, thankfully, stopped above the belt, as I did not need to hear about any hairy hobbit toes. If the armpit hair continues to be a growing issue, my recommendation is to braid it.
It all brought to mind my own eyebrow woe. I would say I have fairly normal girl eyebrows, but in high school, I found a stray hair, like your coworker Susan, and I yanked only to find it was attached, and 3 inches long. It had threaded its way through my eyebrow, for who knows how long, until it started growing out the other side. Ever since then I have had to pluck this one eyebrow hair that thinks it is growing on the top of my head And doesn't realize it should have a much shorter expiration date!
I am giving you six stars because your story is well written, quite funny, and I made you read through this really long review.
Julie :-)

Hello Julie,
thanks so much for the interesting and generous review gal. I would say that I suppose you should be thankful that your long eyebrow hair didn't cross over to the other side, that might look a bit strange, although probably not as strange as no eyebrows at all.
I'm so glad you enjoyed this. Have a blessed day.
