About seven years ago, I noticed that I had one really, really, long arm hair.
I named it Harvey.
And Harvey was my friend until he disappeared one day.
I just noticed that he is back, if not quite as long as he was back then. Still, he’s near about two inches long – which is pretty impressive for a fine blonde hair.
I might be starting to understand why old men let their ear hairs grow.
Wonder if they name them.

I’m glad Hairvey is back. Cos you know, open ended loss is the hardest to come to terms with.
Hairvey…I never once went there. Ha! I am glad he didn’t go splitsville with me.
ok, brush, close shave, short & curlies, highlights. That’s all I had.
Gotta put the kids to bed, hence the concentrated version 🙂
Bed?!? It’s daylight still! And gorgeous here – I’ve a well earned sunburn 🙂
I accidentally clicked on your blog on a link on someone’s page and now I think I may have to be here every day. Mine was Glinda but I was always terrified of The Wizard of Oz so I had to get rid of her.
Oh oh oh I really, really did ‘Bwah ha haw’ at this! Thanks for the mistake, I’m happy to have met you and to know I’m not alone in excessively long single arm hairs, or the naming thereof 🙂 And it looks like you might have a Bengal?
You too! I’ve had a quick nose around and you’ve made me laugh too so a blogger well met, I think!
I don’t have a Bengal – I have a big, cuddly, tabby moggy called Gizmo! I’m pretty sure he has Bengal in him though; the face, the spotty belly and the fact that he’s ALWAYS talking are a bit of a hint! What do you have? (Cats are my favourite topic of conversation…)
Best ‘tell’ I know of for Bengals is that their toe-pads are grey. Got the Bengal boy Spot and his Siamese brother Lokii, and there’s a dog here too (American Akita) but the cats of course and rightly get all the attention. Who is our mutual blogging friend? I’ve got loads of fantastic and funny cat people I follow. No one else with a hamster, though 🙂 I don’t think…
Ooh, I didn’t know that. I’ve only met one pure Bengal and she was so busy giving headbutts that I didn’t look at her toes. Giz has very black toe-pads but I’m going to let him be 1/500th Bengal, just because :p Aww, what a lovely gang! There’s always room for a few dogs, as long as cats outnumber them!
I’ve only been on WordPress a few days so not a mutual friend but Cats & Co posted and linked to you. I fail at computers and clicked you instead of the photo and here we are. Cat people are the best, I shall have to dig around for some more. We have multiple hamsters, much to Giz’s disgust!
Sorry, I can’t seem to stop talking tonight…
Cats n Co is excellent, she’s one of my favorite bloggers 🙂 Welcome to WP! I’ve been on since October, feels like a shorter time though.
BAHha! I had an imaginary tapeworm named Felix. But I think he mus be gone because he stopped pulling his weight (says these burgeoning lovehandles…)
2 inches????
Possibly exaggerated, I was out in the sunshine when I wrote this, and no tape worm or measure to hand 🙂 I do know Harvey was longer before he went on extended vacation.
I have a hamster called Felix. I don’t know if I want to sleep in the same room as him anymore…
Depends… Have you been feeling in need of a new weight loss regimen lately?
*looks at hamster*
*looks at brownie*
Yeah, ok, he can stay… 😀
Oh man, brownies… Haven’t had one in what feels like years…
lolz… why not?
O.K. So I always have to look for connections. In the Jimmy Stewart movie, Harvey was an imaginary rabbit. Rabbits are related to the hare. And there you have it.
Perfect! Again I never went that far, it was the first name that came to mind way back when 🙂
No doubt about it, random content gets a better quality of comment. 🙂
Get the imagination going doesn’t it?
I haven’t named mine. 😦
Hi! You’ll have to remedy that situation!
Any suggestions? 😉
Ruth?
That’ll probably work better in Mayo.
Hmm, it’s a little long black piece of hair.
I think Ruth will fit.
I used to have a short black one that grew out of a mole/freckle on my wrist, but it went away years ago and never came back. Probably moved to my upper lip…
Only Ruth I know is from Sligo 🙂
Ah, bugger. Does this mean it’s not pronounced Root anymore?
Oh yes, that’s the same!
I’d stick with boy names, after all it’s annoying but still sort of cute, like most men can be. Bernard?
Or Slinky?
Or, Bobby B Blunt.
BB? Makes me think of my great aunt Beatrice – I like that name but my sister wouldn’t approve of my suggesting it 🙂
Aaaha, I couldn’t help but to laugh at that.
How about Hairry?
Belafonte! For Harry Belafonte 🙂
Harry Belafonte it is!
I once, after a medical procedure that could conceivably have caused a clot, got a little pitting edema and a sharp pain in my right groin. Since this could have been a common iliac vein clot, which is pretty hairy, I went and paced in a waiting room till a hospital technician could run a Doppler. No clot, just a cranky ovarian cyst. “About six centimeters?” “Yeah.” “Septated?” “Yep.” “That’s Rover — I’d know him anywhere.”
The tech asked what I did for a living. I guess most people don’t remember the details of their previous radiology reports, much less name them.
Sled for the win! I didn’t expect other people to keep and name weird arm hairs, or imaginary tapeworms, but naming an ovarian cyst is just impressive!
Well for years I dated a guy who named his bed pillows, even. I think it sort o rubbed off.
Oh yes, our mom named the dishwasher, the garbage disposal (two of them) and every car she had. I’m glad to hear he named the pillow and not part of his anatomy – although I suspect he did that also?
He is an albino.
He named it Moby.
Sigh.
Oh. That’s not even a bit creative, is it.
The part where he called it the Great White Whale… ah, there was a bit of creativity involved there. If you get me.
