If anyone happens to be passing through the Upper Ohio Valley, you are more than welcome to come here and rob me of all the scissors in the house. Trust me - they are everywhere. Once upon a time, I had very long hair, but as I aged (egads!) I have gone shorter...and shorter...and now - one little hair sticking out - gets whacked immediately.
I have this propensity for just grabbing the scissors - at least every two weeks - and hacking off another section of hair I feel has grown much faster than the rest of my hairs (and there are not that many of those either). If I had my druthers, I would just let it all grow out and start over - but at this rate - I can't see that happening. Argh...
Hair issues drive me up a wall - as I had a total hysterectomy when I was 34 years old, due to cervical cancer. (My late husband, always blamed that surgery on the demise of our marriage. My lack of a sex drive - uh huh...couldn't have been his incessant drinking and drunken tirades!!!) But once we lose all those important hormones...our bodies plain old go to hell. Primarily - the thinning of the hair. I come from a family of thick haired people - and this is ridiculous. Not much longer and I will be the Donald Trump look alike!! Don't recommend HRT, as I started that right after the surgery and wham...my first heart attack. The hair gods have it in for me I just know it.I have researched herbs and vitamins and such...but all have certain drawbacks - like growing a third eye, so I have abandoned that plan. Maybe as soon as they come out with the "lose weight while you sleep" pill - someone will invent something for the balding women of America!! I can only hope. Till then - or the time someone steals my scissors...I will still be chopping away!
Here endeth my Sunday homily!!! Later........

I too cut my own hair and have scissors everywhere. Luckily for me, no heart attack when I started hormone replacement therapy. No more hot flashes, and a full head of hair, on my head that is. I have a different female patterned baldness problem. I have lost almost all the hair on my, well, my, well, you know. What's left is grey and wispy. But now that I plan to remain celibate for the rest of my life, who cares?
Oh my! I tried to trim Sissy's bangs last night and let's just say I should leave it to professionals! I hope they grow quickly!
You mean there is no hope even for the well endowed head of hair?
I have cut my hair for years.. I too had a hysterectomy young but have never had the hair loss problem. I took HRT for a long time, till breast cancer reared it's ugly head, that took care of that...lol
But I still have a full, thick head of hair. Wish I could share with you, I certainly would...lol
Shave your head and keep it polished.
I am not kidding.
I like shiny bald heads.
