Oh yes, those internet translators are funny things - sometimes they do not make any sense. I remember when they first came out, they seemed to just translate each word with no regard for the context! It was funny to read what they said. ;o)
Hairx - no I have not heard of them. Have you got a link? In the synthetic hair, I am now preferring the heat resistant versions of it because I feel they look less shiny and more like human hair. I don't even use any heat on them but I do like that I do not have to worry about getting near heat sources like the oven. I think because I don't wear wigs full time anymore, I get out of practice and it would be easy for me to forget with regular synthetics and then the hair frizzes or melts. The human hair ones also easier in that respect.
Have you never worn a wig at all? I really like Buffs instead of wigs - I bought a new one at the weekend, but made by a different company. I will get a picture of me wearing it at some point. It's really pretty.
Yes, I bought that wig on ebay BUT you can easily buy it from a regular online store. The reason I bought from the ebay store was because a friend of mine had already bought from them and recommended them to me. I think it is fairly safe to buy "branded" wigs on ebay, but I am less sure about the quality of the cheap fashion wigs from China. I have had a couple and they were okay, but if you can afford to buy something a little more expensive then it is probably better. The main thing I found when buying wigs is to get the density (amount of hair) on the wig right. If there is too much hair then I find it looks really wiggy on me and fake.

You are most welcome. Those lovely photos don't look amateur to me.
I is nice to know one is not alone is it not.
I am so happy to meet you as well.
What is even better is if you are able to meet someone just like you.
Mary & I were able to meet for lunch we drove half way from where each of us lives & had a wonderful time. I made a new & dear friend.
I am attending my first NAAF conference this year.
It would be neat if they held one over in Europe.
Perhaps something to work on.
Take Care.

Nye byezpokoyites'! I understood everything you wrote in Russian, and in English, and didn't have any problems. To my great pleasure, I haven't had to look at a dictionary yet, either! It's a lot of fun for me to read your "conversational" Russian.
I LOVE what you just wrote:
....что не количество лет определяют наш возраст, а состояние души
I'll attempt a translation so it can be shared with our non-Russian speaking friends here:
"It's not the number of years that determine your age, but the state of your soul."
Does that sund correct to you, Katya?
I have to get offline now... byilo mnye OCHEN' priyatno razgovarivat' s toboy (mozhno na tyi?) sevogna!
Da, soglasna, Katya. Kitayskii ochen' slozhnyi yazyik! Russian and English are from the same language "family".
I'll be 58 this year. Navyerno, kazhetsa vam shto ya tak staraya. It just occurred to me that it's EXACTLY 40 years this summer since I was in Russia! OMG, that just doesn't seem possible! Po moyemu, ya ochen' molodaya i aktivnaya, no inogda, ya chuvstvuyu sebya chut' chut' staraya! I've always danced...dancing keeps you young!
Da, please practice writing in English if you would like. If I had Cyrillic, I'd try writing more in Russian!
You're correct that Spanish is a much more common "second" language to be taught in the U.S. We have many Spanish speakers here, as you know I haven't been in school for many years (ya stariya chyem mozhet byit' dumayete!), but I suspect that Chinese is also a popular subject these days.
Ya izuchala russkii yazyik vo vremya Xholodnoy Voyini. Ya nachinala v 1969 -g., the first year that Russian was taught in my school. Byilo sovsyem drugoy mir.
Hi Katerina. I don't think I answered your question about where I studied Russian. I studied it in high school for two years in Texas, then got my undergraduate degree in Russian at the University of Texas at Austin. Davnyim davno....
I see you've met my good friend, Pam. You're going to make some wonderful friends on AW!
Hello Katerina,
Welcome to alopecia world.
I agree with our mutual friend Mary, your photo's are lovely, your a beautiful young lady, do you model?
You will really like Alopecia World, it is a wonderful place to find support & friends.
Take Care
Thank you for your friend request. I answered you on the photo where you posted the comment to me.
I was just looking at your photos - so pretty. I really love wearing headscarves and other head coverings, so it's always nice to see someone else who chooses to do it. I like to have a wig or two for when I really want to have normal hair, but most of the time I prefer to use a headscarf or a hat as it's easier!
Spasibo, Katerina! Ya vsyo ponyala. I'll write in English because it's so much easier for me, especially since I don't have Cyrillic letters. This way, you can practice reading and understanding my English, and I can practice reading and understanding your Russian.
Your photographs are beautiful. Do you do modeling work?
Privyet, Katerina! Da, ya govaryu po-russkii. Ya izuchala russkii yazyk mnogo lyet nazad, i byla v Sovyetskom Soyuzye v 1971 dlya 3 mesetsa (v Leningradye). Ksozhalyeniyu, u menya nyet chirilitsu na moj kompyuter. Ochen' trudno pisat' russkii latinicom! Yesli vam nravyatsa pisat' mnye po-russkii, ya chorosho ponimayu. No, kak ochividno, ya mnogo zabyula, i dyelayu mnogo oshibok! Mnye lyegche chitat' i govarit' po-russkii chem pisat'. Navyerno, to zhe samaya dlya tebya po-angliski. Ya tozhe govaryu po-syerbso-chorvatskii, i inogda ya myeshayu yazitsyi. Vsyevo choroshyevo, Masha
