I made it, again...
Only five people knew where I was going, so I know nobody here (at Xfire) knew I was going anywhere in the first place.
But, still... I'm back.
Make sense?
Does to me.
'Low me to a'splain. I know what I went to Bucks to do.
I'm just not sure what it was that compelled me to do that. Yet.
*rolls eyes* All I know is that if you'da asked me yesterday if I was going there, I'd have looked atcha like you were goofy and said "No".
Had not ONE plan to do this. But... While I was cleaning the house... or, actually, sittin' here, smokin' a cigarette while taking a break from cleaning the house, I happened to see Tommy Chong on VH-1 in "The Drug Years".
It was the episode about... that. And, yes, he did make me wanna, but I see Tommy every night, just about, on "That 70's Show" and the sight of him doesn't compell me to do this then. Besides, as soon as Mr. Jones(-in') spoke up in my head, I changed the frickin' channel. Then, the thought/feeling just wouldn't leave me be to call my friend back there. So, I did.
Got his v-mail.
Decided it was on God at that point.
If he called back in time, fine.
If not... there's always Tuesday (when he's working again). He called. I cleaned almost at the speed of light (at least as compared to my normal "speed" at getting this shit done sometimes).
Got a shower.
Left at 7pm.
Got back at 2am. Safely.
In one piece and without any problems at all.
For which I thank God Himself. And now, I'm sitting here in my flannel jammies with alla my fingernail crap laid out, soooo... I think I might be getting ready to do that little chore, finally. Ooo, and on the way home, I heard Jimmy Buffet.
*and dopey grin* Now, I can quit trying to inhale my TV and just shotgun the little shits. And, ya know... at first, I was wondering what awful thing is gonna happen that this trip happened at all, let alone came together so smoothly.
But, now that I've mentioned that I'm wondering, hence ready, for whatever evil is to befall my ass, it probably won't. Anything I'm actually prepared for doesn't happen, usually. So, maybe I should buy a wig....
Cause, if I was ready for my hair to be coming out at an alarming rate, but mostly in the shower when I wring it after washing it, then... maybe it would QUIT. IT. Any idears, anybody, what da hail's up widdat? Could it be *duhn, duhn, duuuhnnn* hormones?
Caaause they could be being a little screwy lately. My lil' terrorist buddy hasn't been by in a while.
(And, no, I'm not pregnant. I have cystic ovaries (praise Jesus 'cause they kept me from even getting pregnant in the first place) and... Eric is... "neutered". And, that wasn't my doin', in either of the ways that particular idea can be taken. He did that before I met him, thanks.) Anyway, he (my terrorist buddy, not Eric) seems to have flaked off and "for good" would be just that... GOOD. But, could the two be related and is there anything I can do to make it stop?
(My hair, I'm back to now. Do up your seatbelt, man...) In spite of the fact that I kiss my hair's ass because it's one of the very few things I like about myself, there is probably lotsa room for improvement of this situation. Like... I don't take vitamins, for instance.
And, I'm completely clueless about what vitamins, or herbal supplements (OTC kind, not "my" kind), are good for what thing. And, all I do to it is wash it with Pantene, use the same conditioner and slide the wet ponytail through my fist when I wring it out.
Then, I wrap it in a towel, use a large toothed comb to comb it out wet, dry it (not fry it) and I don't even use anything in or on it.
No mousse, gel, hairspray, nuttin'.
I brush it when it's dry, with a big, round medium bristled brush. Not one of those stupid and painful "spike" brushes, either.
Regular bristles. It's been mostly when I pull the wet ponytail through my fist that I end up with more strands than I care to count.
And, honestly, I have noticed lately that I'm "shedding" more than I used to, too (damn it).
Hair on my pillow, my shirt, stuck uder my boob, stuck across my eyelid... it's just loverly.
Not. So, any opinions, here?
Please?
(Don't think I won't leave this post up here for a week, if I have to, waitin' for answers, okay? *lol*) *coupla seconds later*
There was another thing, but, hell if I can remember it now.
I think it may be something that's buggin' me, but what, I don't know.
Can't be too bad then, can it? *several minutes later* Whew-ee, Jethro. I've sat here so long, now I'm hungry. And, no, it's not just munchies.
I haven't eaten anything since.... probably yesterday afternoon and my coffee cups been empty for pert near an hour, so I'm gonna find something to eat and, hopefully, do these damned fingernails, finally.
(If finally eating doesn't make me fall asleep... *giggle* Peace, y'all...

Hi, here is some info. that may help :
Events which can trigger hair loss include pregnancy, childbirth, menopause (ya seem waaaay too young for this but some women start to feel symtoms fairly early on...), severe emotional stress, rapid or profound weight loss, thyroid disorders, pituitary problems, malnutrition, iron deficiency, lack of protein, large doses of vitamin A and hair abuse including bleaching, permanents, tight braids, tight pony tails, tight wigs, and tight hats.
Homeopathic remedies for women with hair loss include:
+ Lycopodium: loss precipitated by hormonal fluctuations.
+ Sepia: especially for menopausal women who have sweaty flushes and heavy bleeding
+ Phosphoric acid: loss after grief or extreme emotion, accompanied by exhaustion.
~ Infusion (tea) of stinging nettle, 2-4 cups a day, strengthens hair and checks falling hair with its superb supplies of protein, B vitamins, vitamin E, iron, and other minerals. Regular use restores thickness, body, shine and sheen to hair. If you have any infusion left over, pour it on your head and rub it into your scalp for faster results.
Lack of minerals, especially iron, can cause hair loss. Yellow dock is a good iron-tonic.
Lemon balm or lemon grass infusion has also been used traditionally as a hair rinse to prevent hair loss.
Burdock seed oil,one of the best selling hair tonics in Russia, is especially recommended for those with thinning hair or hair loss. Apply to your hair and scalp, leave on overnight and shampoo it out the following day. Repeat as needed.
While some temporary loss of hair at menopause is considered normal, Thin, dry hair is one of the first signs of an underactive thyroid, you may want to get this checked out. Chugging down a gulp of cod liver oil or wheat germ oil based on suggested dosages may also help. Also just plain 'ol vitamins (supplements for women) can do wonders...you may want to check around for a good herb (the other kind ;>) shop...don't know of any near Gettysburg, but there used to be a good one in New Cumberland up near Mechanicsburg...try these gentler solutions to start...maybe just too tight on the pony tail!...but if you can, get your thyroid checked sometime just to be sure....Be well! ;>)

Holy cow, Viz...
I think I'm gonna copy and paste this into it's own entry at my post page and save it to draft just so I can find it easier and memorize it.
One thing, though... when I said "ponytail" about wringing my hair out after I wash and condition it... it's not in a ponytail, exactly.
What I do is scrape the sides of my hands across the top of my head, like sweat-blading a wet horse, then I just close my hand over my hair and squeeze it and keeping pulling it through my hand.
The only time I tie it back is if I have to for a waitress job or something and even then, the MINUTE I'm done, I pull the ponytail holder out and shake it loose.
I hate wearing it "up" or tied back or whatever.
The way I figure it, I didn't spend all this time growin' it just to hide it like that, ya know?
And, thanks again for all the info.
I'm thinking that "extreme grief/emotion" part might be a good place to start....

My hair started thinning on the left side of my head a few years ago and I started pumping some multivitamins and iron pills into me. Worked like a charm. Of course now I have a completely different hair problem: gray!
