Blogs I Follow
Eat Our Brains The brain child of Steve Gould.
Chrononaut Log David Moles smart and funny observations. Actually, what I really love about his log is the design, which fills me with envy.
Pen in Hand I've known Karen for years, but didn't know that in addition to being a writer and a journalist and a volunteer at the local raptor center, she is also a beautiful illustrator. The most beautiful blog I follow.
Austin Kleon It seems absurd to talk about this blog without including any images, but lets just say it's fun, sharp and graphical.
Not a Journal (Except Now It Is) If this were a blog, it would be about Small Beer and Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet, except it's not a blog. Except it really is.

Just go from the knee down!
Is this for you or for them? Because they've probably dealt with worse than hairy legs. But if it's for you, by all means...
I say the same thing about sex.
Below the knees only... otherwise, its way too much work.
I'm really sorry about the Hodgkins, but I don't think you really need to shave your legs! Kaiser & Medicare have spent over $2M on me now and I never shave my legs, no matter how many doctors I see. If they don't like it, they can try to do it without running into all the scars and making new ones.
And it turned out to be entirely unecessary! I mean, they peered at my insides in a number of different ways, and not one of them required taking my pants off.
Ah well, I have shaved legs now.
I think it must be an Ohio thing. When it's winter, legs only get shaved when necessary. :)
