Dear Dr. Peg
I enjoyed your column on balding in the Dec. 8 issue of the Daily Lobo.
At 52 years old, balding has never been a problem for me. I’m actually a hairy beast. Not only do I have plenty of hair on my head, but I’ve got it on my chest, back, arms, legs … everywhere.
As a guy, I’ve never really concerned myself about this issue. However, if I did want to take the energy to be a little easier on the eyes, I wonder, what healthy options could I pursue to minimize all that hair and look more attractive and youthful?

Americans are facing a dangerous situation with the war in Afghanistan, and students at the University of New Mexico need to be part of the national dialogue. History has shown that the American public tends to respond to military interventions overseas in one of three predictable ways.

The holiday season is one of the most stress-filled times of the year. And 2009 has not been the greatest of years. Combining family commitments, financial concerns heightened by the not-so-good economy, traveling, shopping and cooking with everyday stressors like working, it is no surprise many people feel overwhelmed around this time. In addition, holidays are often filled with memories of loved ones no longer in our lives, which can rekindle feelings of sadness and contribute to a sense of isolation.

“Have you been tested?” It’s a question that can brutally murder the mood, especially when a new partner chooses to ask it, say, right on the verge of sex.

Yes, it’s fun to read about the smoking ban on campus, abusive football coaches and the eternal struggle between left and right, but these issues are just distracting us all from the real problem that plagues the UNM campus: fat people.

I’ve nearly lost count of how many guys I haven’t slept with. First, there was Edward James Henderson, Jr., who came from a fine family but preferred to stuff his trust fund in the end of a pipe. Not only was he the first man I’d seen do the wake-and-bake, he was also six years my senior and the former housemate of my best friend Erica. Ed let us stay at his mansion one Friday when we ditched class, and after a long night of drinking too much and smoking more, I ended up in Ed’s bed with increasingly less clothing when he said, “Your curves are so perfect, like only Raphael could have imagined,” (A fat cherub? What?) and, of course, the timeless, “Your skin is so soft” (Thanks, cheap moisturizing body wash does wonders) — But oh, then came the line, the one line all women want to hear: “I just want to make you feel good.” Well, I’d told Ed I was a virgin and had to stay that way. I was saving it for marriage. Before any fluids of any kind were shared, he had agreed that the panties would not come off. So, on that prime occasion, I said “No” (and have rather whole-heartedly regretted i since).

Swine flu is here. It is all over New Mexico, including here at UNM. Have you had it yet? How about your friends and classmates? How many are out today with the flu? I’ll bet there are at least a few, and there will likely be more next week.

Recently, there has been discussion on and off campus about Network Access Control, or NAC. Some folks have complained that NAC is slowing them down; others have said that NAC installs malicious software onto their computers; and still others think that NAC was a good band while they lasted (by the way, the 80s band was called “The Knack” not “NAC.”) So … let’s clear the air.

Q: I’m often in a position in which I must choose between getting 8 hours of sleep or exercising. Is it healthier to sacrifice sleep in order to make time for a morning workout?

The reaction I get when I tell someone I am a vegetarian is very often the same.

Today in America, we face many challenges. From the struggling economy to health care, we have many things to talk about. These issues all have solutions from the left and the right sides of the political spectrum, and each of them have great points.

In polite company, we call it Novel H1N1. It’s the Influenza Formerly Known as Swine Flu. Originally thought to come from pigs, this flu virus is actually a mix of pig, bird and human. Believe it: only a virus could pull off that combination.
