No matter what we're doing, the consciousness we bring to the situation
– whether of love and service, or of fear and gimme – will
determine whether or not miracles occur. - Marianne Williamson

1. Desiderata, Inspiring Poem by Max Ehrmann
 : Quoting a few lines from the poem, "… You are
a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have
a right to be here … With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy."

2. There is a Time for Everything
 : "Let no feeling of discouragement prey upon you, and in the
end you are sure to succeed."

3. Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw
back—concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one
elementary truth that ignorance of which kills countless ideas and
splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then
Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would
never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the
decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents
and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed
would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin
it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now. - Johann
Wolfgang Von Goethe

4. A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write,
if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. What a man can be, he
must be. - Abraham Maslow

g_b Have you ever asked your barber?

[Deep]

I tried using a razor many years ago and ended up cutting myself. Also
the hair grew back pretty prickly in the perianal and scrotal areas -
made red rashes down there, itchy and painful.
Perhaps I should have asked you for help AsfanJi:p

pubic, perianal (around the anus) and axillar (arm pit) areas. Do the
elbow test of the product before using it and follow instructions on the
product package. On some skin types they give allergic reactions. Many
use the products in those areas without any harmful effects. If you have
a pre-existing skin condition please ask your doctor before using these
products. In such cases a pair of scissors should help you trim your
pubic hair atleast. If your partner is fond of rimming then your
perianal hair will need to be removed.

close friend who can do this for you then you are through. :p

A macho friend of mine was reduced to tears as the waxing was being
