Irony

How is it that a balding man can be so hairy? What a horrible twist of ironic circumstance! I was talking to Scott this morning about a prototype board that will be coming in today, and God help me, but I couldn't stop myself from thinking about that.

He's a super nice guy, don't get me wrong. But he's so fricking hairy! The hair on his arms extends way down to cover a portion of the top of his hands, he even has a few renegade hairs growing on his fingers. That's why I find it so unbelievable that his hairline has started to recede.

It's almost like a double curse. A balding sasquatch.

50 lbs? Good luck with that. That is a lot of weight to lose.

Hair on the head is genetically programmed to "jump ship." Whereas body hair isn't. Why is that? The hair on the body serves protection purposes.

Many scientists believe the thinning hair on the head is a natural way to visually show age. In a quick glance, one could tell who were the older males in a group.

I am SO glad I'm not hairy.

yep. 50lbs IS a lot to lose. But I'll have lost that in the next 10-12 weeks.

Holy cow! 10-12 weeks? You must have incredible will power.

hmmmm..... genetically designed to jump ship. Now that you mention that, I do notice a lot of older guys do have the 'extreme hairline' going on.

Bob and I were just discussing baldness last night. He's going to keep his hair, but any boy children of ours are almostly certainly going to go bald someday. He says he'll laugh and them and say, "See what your mother did to you!"

Sherri, you're bald grandpa passed a baldness gene to your mom, who may have passed it on to you. How is your mom's hair nowadays? If it's really thin, then she probably has female pattern baldness, which mean she carried two baldness genes, and, therefore, definitely passed one to you.

What about your dad? The pix I saw of him show him with hair, but he was probably young in then. If he kept his hair, you know he isn't a carrier, which means you would have at least one gene for keeping hair, which would give your boys each a 50-50 shot at keeping theirs.

Yikes! cut my comment in half.

kat, I think you're on to something there. LOL

Okay, fine. As the pregnant one of the group, I will answer Casually Me's question about why women become more sexual during pregnancy.

According to What to Expect When Your Expecting, hormonal changes can cause an increase in sex drive. (Personally, I don't understand why. It doesn't make sense from an evolutionary standpoint.) In addition, the blood supply in the uterus increases, causing increased enjoyment of sex. Other women lose all interest in sex during pregnancy. I decline to mention which category I've fallen into.
