    Thanks for the sweet note, and a big hug to you.
  • LeslieAnn Butler

    I wish I were going to the conference!
    I don't think I'll be able to fit it in this year.
    Are you going?

    Hey Lady,
    How is school and family? Hope all is well with you...Are you putting together something for the group soon?
  • Amy Bard

    Glad to hear from you. How is school going? Things are well here. Just staying busy w/ the kids and work. Are you going to the convention? I don't guess I'll be going. My husband only has a week of vacation and he is using that in April for us to go to Vegas. And I don't want to go to Houston by myself. Well don't take so long to get in touch next time. Take care.
  • Amy Bard

    Good to hear from you. So you are going to the convention? I would liketo go, I may make plans to go next yr. Glad school is going well. Hope your family is all ok. Will be in touch soon.

    Hi Sara! It has been a while...I just wanted to say hello. How is school going? My email @ work changed and I haven't seen any notices for meetings lately...I hope we did not miss any. I will talk to you soon!!
  • Jessica Picardi

    Hi Sara...it does seem like forever! I hope you and your family are doing well. Let me know when the meetings are and we will definitely be there. As for any ideas for the kids group...it is getting HOT so maybe Makutu's island?? I am not sure of the age group of all the kids but that place is cool inside and fun for the kids....or Amazing Jakes? Well, we are out of town the week of June 7th but other than that, we have no plans. Let me know if I can help. Take care...talk to you soon. Congrats on being almost done with school!!
  • Erica

    Female intuition! You should post a picture of your freedom wig - would love to see it.
    I'm pretty good. Quite a lot of my hair has been growing back in of late which is great. I just wish the rest of it would catch up! I really want to get a new wig though as I'd love a ridiculous one to wear out clubbing. I'm not too bothered about wearing my wigs at any other time just now, I just like to not show off the bald bits at the back of my head when I'm in a crowd of strangers. I don't care about my friends and family seeing it but sometimes appearance counts!

    Are you looking forward to a hot summer? I guess it gets crazily hot for you. In Scotland the past two summers have been terrible - rain all the time and about two days of nice sunshine. Fingers crossed that this year it's going to be nicer!
  • Erica

    Hi Sara,
    Summers don't really get hot but a great summer's day in Scotland is the best weather anywhere - it's just we only get about two of them a year. It's not too hot, not humid, just nice, sunny and you might even get a tan! We can sunbathe on the beach, but you need to make sure that when you go, you don't just pack a towel. You also need a windbreaker, an umbrella, a big woolly jumper and waterproofs as well as your swimsuit, just in case.

    I have another job interview tomorrow so the wig will be going back on in my attempt to impress! I always worry that prospective employers will see my scalp sneaking out and think I'm some mad punk who likes to shave her head on her days off. Has the recession hit you at all? I've been unemployed since February now and am getting thoroughly tired of filling in forms and going to interviews. Although to be honest, I could be doing with more interviews!
  • Lauren

    I will see if I have to work, if not we would love to go. The only thing is being July in Arizona I don't think I would have her go "bald" more likely to wear a bandana so her head doesn't get fried.
  • JeffreySF

    Hey Miss Gomez,

    How you holding up in the heat?
    Saw you online so stopped in to say hello.

    Jeffrey
  • JeffreySF

    Hi Sara,

    I dont miss those scorching summer days. I don't know if I told you but I lived in Chadler for 5 years back in the 80's

    Hope the kids aren't driving you too crazy!!!

  • JeffreySF

    116 Yikers!!!

    If I come to AZ to visit my family I will have to hook up with you.
    My Mom is in Gilbert and my Dad in Chandler. Hey you are right in the middle.
    How's your local NAAF Group? How many participants?

    Hugz,

    Jeffrey
  • Karina

    Gracias por tus cálidas palabras!! Quería preguntarte si se soporta usar una peluca todos los días (sobre todo en verano), si tuvistes alguna mala experiencia con ellas, si alguien se dio cuenta y se burló. Como verás soy super insegura y le doy mucha importancia a la gente..no quisiera decirla a todo el mundo mi problema..
  • Karina

    Mil gracias!! Es que no entiendo porque la gente se toma el derecho de burlarse de alguien por algo..Nadioe es Dios.Dos preguntitas más...que tipo de pelucas usas? A quién le contaste de tu problema? Apresurada me compré una peluca en una casa judía de pelo natural pero después de inas horas me raspa la frente.
  • JeffreySF

    Thats nice that you have a good turn out for your meetings.
    Where do you usually hold them?

    A group of us always meets for pizza before the meeting.
    I love our group.

    Jeff
  • JeffreySF

    Hip hip Horray!!!

    I'm so proud of you!!!

    Have a Blast!!!

    Jeffrey
  • JeffreySF

    You're welcome.

    I tried to get something together here but it just didn't happen this year.

    Jeff
  • JeffreySF

    I hope so.

    I just got a call that my dad is going in for surgery tomorrow. He has Cancer plus a bad heart so I hope everything goes okay. If not you might be seeing me sooner than later.....My family is pretty dysfunctional so I could use a reality check.

    I'll let you know what happens.

    Jeffrey
  • JeffreySF

    Hi Sara,

    Looks like everything is on hold.
    My dad has to get an angiogram before anything else.
    Thanks for your prayers.

  • Lee

  • Lee

    Hey!! Yes I have two now...one is a couple inches longer. I love it!! Did you get yours? I think last time I talked tou you, you ordered one. Awesome you are in schooL! good work! I moved to VA with my BF for a new job...going pretty well, except I got asthma when I came here ; ( and gained about 20 lbs!! So I just started back at WW two wks ago also!!! lol after a year! We are in the same boat, once again my friend!
  • Lee

    thank you! u look good too! So you like it? I knew you would! Worth the $, right? I just had to send my long one back...I miss it already. I have work here...and I have going out/ casual hair. That was my going out hair! It was a lot like my real hair used to be. Thick and wavy. Love it! Thsi one is a little shorter, thinner, and the colors are more practical hehe. I love living in a new place, because I change my hair all the time and no one knows who I am yet..so they don't notice...and actually, I dont even care anymore! It feels good! I have WW on Tue...I think I gained everything I lost in the first two wks in theis 3rd wk...ugh i suck at this
  • Lee

Ive been on it for 3 wks...and 2 of the meetings were canceled. Today i ddint go because I slept in. I am thinknig about just doing it online. Its like 1/3 of the price! I just have a hard time paying 40 a month and not losing ; / and they say lose slooowww...yeah that means pay mooorrreee lol!~
  • Lee

Still have a lot to go..but getting there slowly. I went to the meeting once...but there were so many people didnt meet the leader. Glad you liek yours though..thats important. Hey...have you ever gotten injections in your eyebrows? I did, and they worked...but they hurt so bad...I had to stop ; (
  • josh

    Solo tenia curiosidad si hablabas espanol...
  • josh

    ...do you sometimes get toguether with any other alopecian people here in the valley ? I'II apreciate any info...
  • Sheryl Miller

    Hi there ! I was referred to you by Pat. :) I am seriously thinking of just shaving my head and wearing a vacuum wig, but am concerned because living in Az its get way too hot here ! How long have you had your wig ? Can I ask what company you bought it from ? Can you tell me the pros and cons of wearing one her in Az ? My husband is soooo awesome ! He doesnt mind what choice I make. He just wants to see me happy again ! I have been shedding my hair since Nov 2005 and its just crazy. Hormones are "normal" so they tell me. I have little to no stress in my life and no history of hairloss. So.... its just thinning all over at different times. It does some back in, but not as thick as it used to be. I can still style it to where it really isnt all that noticeable, but it bothers me very much. Sorry to blast you with so many questions, but I just really would like some inside info from someone who actually lives here in the valley and can help me make the right choice. Thank you sooo much for offering to help ! I truly appreciate it !!!!! Take care !
  • CBrown

    Hello,
    I was snooping around and saw a few of your older posts. I'd be interested in getting together with others in the valley who have alopecia too, as I have had it since I was five and have never (knowingly) met anyone else with it. Cheers to us!
