Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 HI Char, is 15, he loves to take showers , takes one nightly, and asks to take it. He too needs to shave his chin and upper lip, sideburns are just coming in, but I am leaving them for the time being. We use a regurlar razor, but he has so little it is not an issue yet, we do not need to do that daily, perhaps every 4 days or so. Viola **************Start the year off right. Easy ways to stay in shape. http://body.aol.com/fitness/winter-exercise?NCID=aolcmp00300000002489 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 What an accomplishment that Zeb has lost so much weight. Elie got a treadmill for Chanukah and now walks for 20-30 minutes a day. Not as much as he did for the therapist, nor as fast as she had him walking, but at least it is something everyday. I have been told that men as hairy as Elie usually shave their back! My dad was also very hairy on his back (even after he was bald on his head), but he never did. > Hi Sara, > I always pictured Elie to be fair.
