Hi, I'm 26 years old and have had alopecia since I was 8. Almost 4 years ago, I shaved my head because the bald spots got so big I could no longer cover them up... I've been bald ever since. Now that my hair has started to grow back, I choose to keep it shaved, if not for self preservation, for the ease of getting ready in the morning. ;o)
Alopecia has helped me see that what is on the outside doesn't count near as much as whats on the inside. I've graduated from veterinary school and just married the man of my dreams. If my alopecia decides to return one day, I'll be okay with it. It's just hair as far as I'm concerned.
Hi Jill! How you doin?? What have u been up to? Congrats on your wedding!! You two must be plenty busy. Thanks for the invite!!, I will have to get the details. If we don't see you at your wedding, will we see you at the conference for a sec?
hey girLLL. yes i'm doing everything possibLe to be abLe to make it to the conference & to your wedding. i jus needa work out some more detaiLs & see who eLse is goin down thats gonna be at the conference. everything is goin aight here. crazy busy with schooL and whatnot. how are wedding pLans goin? misss you.
Congrats on the upcoming wedding... I hope that we can at least catch a glimpse of you at conference, if not though, I want to see many many pictures posted!
Yes, I used a survey site that most people in my field use for internet surveys. It's called SurveyMonkey. It's completely legit, I promise! Hahaha. At the end it goes to the SurveyMonkey website, I guess so they can get more people to use their site, who knows?
Congrats on the wedding! I am pretty sure I'll be at the conference this year since it's in Louisville & I used to live there.
I've actually never even been to Auburn! Those pics are from the bowl game this past NYE here in Atlanta. My boyfriend went to Auburn and is a HUGE football fan, which I'm finding is pretty normal in these parts! LOL He wouldn't take me to any of their home games because he gets too serious about it and can't think about anything else at the same time as football. Typical man, I guess!! Oh well...
I didn't know you were getting married! Congrats! I'm guessing you will be very busy that weekend. Will we see you at all at the conference? If not, totally understandable!
OMG! I came here to reply about my survey but just saw that hideous picture of me, you and that little girl from Minneapolis. I'm so glad I've lost weight. Whoa! Hahaha!
Nah, you can leave it up. It gives me encouragement to keep working out. Hahaha! But what I was going to say was that I actually took all those questions from other "well-established" surveys, so I can't take credit for how good they were. :)
I do not have it. I have noidea who wold either. ali have is her myspace. but i willcheck my old freidn finders from the conference to see if i might have it for you.
Hey Jill...Lunch already girl:))))) I know you're busy, but you can not be this close and us not meet. hope all is going well...try not to get stressed with all that you have coming up or is that an understatement:)
You know it girl! I've been talking about you all day...the Revolution:))))) of a "Clean" heads are here. We have a Purpose, I truly believe this...we are in each others space for a reason.
Soon we will get together again, we'll barBQ soon and you guys can come over.
HI Jill, I know you are probably extremely busy and may not get this until after the wedding. But I wanted to congratulate you again and hope that your wedding day is full of special memories. Take care and talk to you soon. xo
Hey Jill, don't know if you are on some beach somewhere with no access to your computer. But you were on my mind on Saturday and I hope everything went beautifully. So when can we expect some photos!? BTW - You have a great smile! Take care, Cheryl
Hey, Jill. How's married life? Amazing, I'm sure. :-) I just noticed that something I wrote is featured here on your Alopecia World profile. Why, thanks for the compliment! ;-) It's encouraging to learn that my writings have touched someone's heart. Looking forward to hearing from you - rj, Co-founder, Alopecia World
Hey Jill, nice pics! I work with USDA APHIS Veterinary Services, it is wonderful to know there is an Alopecian sister of mine that is a veterinarian...that is you! Stay blessed!
I have seen your photos, and you prove that bald is indeed beautiful. In fact, you are a beautiful person whether you have hair or not. I have written screenplays that have bald female characters who are positive role models. It is people like you that inspired me as a writer and an artist.

time to send messages to all your friends, telling them how much you care about them.
Without friends
you would be missing out on a lot.
A friend should be radical;
They should love you when you're unlovable,
Hug you when you're unhuggable,
And bear you when you're unbearable.
A friend should be fanatical;
They should cheer when the whole world boos,
Dance when you get good news,
And cry when you cry.
But most of all, a friend should be mathematical,
They should multiply the joy, Divide the sorrow,
Subtract the past, And add to tomorrow,
Calculate the need deep within your heart,
And always be bigger than the sum of all their parts.
I care about you.
Have a nice day, and
I'm glad we are friends!!! Delete Comment
