Ingrown
No surgical procedure should ever begin with the words, "Tell me if this hurts," particularly when such a procedure is being conducted by a husband wearing a headlamp and wielding a pair of tweezers.
Of course, when presented the opportunity to excavate the unruly barbed whiskers from the underside of her man's chin, a wife should resist the overwhelming urge to declare, "Goldmine!"

Ah, the bliss of being a newlywed: headlamps, tweezers and dermatology.

i hate when clicks want to shave or pluck my stubble. i know how to do these things, so if i didn't want them there, they'd be gone.

I've missed you, even though ye never knew me. Nevertheless, mining one's own ingrown hairs don't allow for the satisfaction of acting like a baby--for which your husband can then happily comfort you.
Congratulations on that whole married thing....

i have come to the realization that part of a wife's self proclaimed duty is to rid husband's of their unruly ingrown hairs and pimples. i hate the procedures, but without my wife, i'd be a big mess.

how odd. i added a bookmark to your site only days after you'd stopped updating, and never expected to see any new material come of it.

WELCOME BACK! I missed my regular serving of Dooce-ness.

I just spent the last hour reading your about page, and just wanted to say, you are freakin hilarious. I knew you were popular for a reason. Now I'm glad your back so I can see what all the hub bub was about when you left.

Yaaaaaaay! (I love mining my man's chin in search of the random white hair among the sea of black ones.)

And all this time, I thought I was keeping your bookmark for sentimental reasons. Welcome back.
09.18.02 - 09:05 AM / 23Michael said:
So I accidentilly hit the link, expected nothing, and alas, was pleasantly suprised.
Welcome back.

Welcome back, Heather! I knew there was I reason I kept your link in my favorites! :-)

Love the new digs. Welcome back! The web was a little more drab without you around to inject some style.

dj blurb owns a headlamp (cool!)? how 'bout a pith helmet?
you guys both have the bedside manner of great, insensitive doctors. when readying to tweeze, that is.
(it's *really* good to have you back onboard...)
