I had what I called a blah look, like there was no life in my eyes . I looked at myself in the mirror and couldn't figure it out until my sister pointed it out one day. Then I was told," Wait until you hit 50!!" The facial hair thing for me didn't start until I was about 65. It isn"t bad, , but it's there. I just shave that little mustach when necessary, and also the peach fuzz ids clipped close with scisdsors. It doesn"t grow back dark and stiff like a man's does. I tried the creams, but it caused me to have a bad rash, so that was out! But isnt life great? And where else can I find so many "sisters" to laugh about growing old with? I wish we could throw a big party and spend time together. People would probably look at us and think we were a bunch of crazy old ladies !!

If I don't pluck I may be mistaken for one of those mean old hags who should be wandering the widow's peak at twilight. Give me a pointy hat and a broom and Halloween comes early. Unfortunately, in my bathroom the light is horrible and I have to put a 20x magnification mirror in the window sill to have reasonable success at a hairless chin. I can't get to it unless I straddle the potty. Then there's the wrinkles and the extra skin. Next there will be the waddle. Oh the things my mother didn't tell me......

Had hysterectomy at 28. Was ok until 48 then menopause hit in a big way, but miraculously I stopped getting debilitating migrain headaches. Now 65 and I still get horrible "power surges" or "short tropical holidays" (hot flushes), which Doctor said could last rest of life, (thanks Doc!!!).
Hair - there and everywhere! Actually its not too bad - yet !
Yes you can still get Nad's, well here in Australia anyway.
I use an Avon product in a neat little tube, the tip of the tube makes it easy to use on top lip and eyebrows too, leave on a few minutes and wash off. For me lasts about 3mths.
Yeah getting old sucks don't it, especially the aches and pains.
