Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Yeah, the same thing happens to me after I get my brows waxed, so I try to plan ahead if I need to not look red and bumpy (like, I got them waxed 2 weeks before the wedding so they had plenty of time to calm down).
Give them a day or two, and use an ice pack or a cold washcloth if it's really annoying.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Yeah, I've gotten that with waxing, too. I tried going to a place once that used "natural" wax, and I had a much worse reaction than I'd ever had with the regular stuff. Turns out the "natural" wax has pine sap, and I'm really allergic to pine trees. For next time, if they leave any wax on your face, use rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball to get it off, then put on some aloe.

The last time I needed a wheelchair seat cushion, I thought Mom would be on the news.I even had a list of reporters in mind.(She went off a little on the guy that said "no,".) The most my face ever itched, I had a reaction to some eye drops(I found out years later) My face itched for months as I kept being treated for pinkeye I no longer had.

What, you think you deserve to be comfortable? To not have your butt hurt from when you have to sit there all day? Boy, the kids these days.
IO, extremely petty, N, I have sparse eyebrows. Yay, natural redhead coloring. But there is one hair in my eyebrows that grows straight out. With a curl. In a different life, I would embrace said rebel hair with elan, tend it to its Ernest Borgnine potential, but this is not that life. So every now and then I have to take tweezers to my eyebrow, trying to target only the one hair without removing its few comrades that need to stay.
Such is Saturday in my house.
Oh, and there's the cat box to deal with. Yay.

I have Ernest Borgnine eyebrows too!
Or perhaps, Einsteinesque in their hilarious tendency to point in all but desired directions.

If you take your index finger and smooth your eyebrows up until the stragglers stand up, then you can just safely trim them off.

Oh, I do that, but sometimes one misses.
