About Me:: My age is 58 and I have had alopecia since 2000. I guess I wasn't Y2K compliant. I have attended a few NAAF conferences and found the comraderie wonderful.
This site seems to have that same feel of empathy and closeness. I am somewhat of an adventurer and love to participate in the wonders of life. I would love to meet some of the others in world like me who understand a little different perspective. I look forward to meeting those who have joined this site/organization.

Hi Janet..Folsom is just east of Sacramento,and thanks for asking..I grew up in San Jose,Ca,and lived there most of my life..Ive been here for 8 years so far..I liked San Jose better,as it was closer to the coast,but hey,Im getting older and have to think about being retired..So haws your monday going..I just heard that China had a 7.9 earthquake,killing 10,000//Wow!!! Ive been hearing about earthquakes everywhere,especailly near here in Reno,NV.. They've been having like 200 earthquakes since feb,only thing different,is these have started out small,and are growing bigger and bigger..Yiiiiikes..Anyway,to end on a up note,thanks you so much for you message that made me smile..That was nice to see,as always..Bob : )

Bob, thanks for the compliment. My granddaughter took that picture, which is probably why I look so happy.
I've been to San Francisco, San Diego, Los Angeles. The air in California is absolutely marvelous. I just wanted to stand outside and breathe. I've lived on the west coast of Florida for 30 (!!!) years. I really like it here. The summers can get a little heavy, but the winters are wonderful.

I hear what you're saying about retirement. That's my number 1 goal now. I'm aiming for 6 years. If only it had been my number 1 goal 30 years ago!! I'd be livin' life large on the beach right now. Oh well, as they say "Life is wasted on the young."
Have a great day. Nice chatting.

Bob, Back to the earthquakes... Have you felt any tremors from the quakes near you? Is that a common thing for your area? I would think that would be such an eerie feeling for the ground to move underneath you. We have hurricanes to deal with here. Have a great Wednesday.
What kind of work do you do?

Hi Janet, Yes it has helped Joe and I to bond. It's funny but when I go out with him and I am wearing my cap, I feel very empowered and not at all uncomfortable. He has helped me many times during some hard times i have had since i lost my hair 9 months ago. It is starting to get better though.I can go to the gym now just wearing my cap, and just today i had some questions about being bald and there were 4 people there and they knew nothing about Alopeica by the time I was done talking to them they now know what Alopeica is all three types!!! I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Take care Maureen
