Till moving here had no idea there is such a thing as an "east coast accent" which is lotsa fun when natives here point out that I have one, LOL. Good luck with the hair. Pricey shampoo products will "puff it up" for you (low humidity here) but do nothing for hair *loss*. Have you considered, when long enough, "streaking" so pop now? Draws others' gaze off the crown of head. I'm afraid to use color or a perm on my hair. Not only is my hair *WAY* too thin (volume-wise), it is also very "fine" (each hair is very thin) and it "breaks" off easily. You know, I hate it when someone posts a problem on the newsgroup and then do nothing but make excuses why s/he can't take the advise so freely and caring from friends here... so I am very self-conscious about doing that myself. The *last* thing I ever want to do is whine, and it feels like that's all I can do now-a-days. I really, really appreciate it when someone takes the time to, not only to read my endless list of the "bad" life throws at me, and then take *more* time and effort to think about problems and then post a possible solution. I've taken and used *LOTS* of good ideas - I told Ben, just last night that I was going to post about the insurance business, and asked him if he minded me doing that... I explained that very often someone "outside" of the situation can look at things differently and could possibly give me some ideas of what to do about it. Taking your advice, I went to the SSDI web site and found information there that I needed and used. Taking Sherry's advice of what and how to eat to gain weight has helped considerably and I attribute my finally gaining some some weight quickly to her council. There are many, many others who have helped too, too many to list all here. I can only say it again, I really do *LOVE* you guys! CatNipped Haven't been much help I fear; don't blame you for nixing color on damaged fine hair (only thing worse than dye would be*bleaching it* as I learned in the 60's after LOL getting miy hair bleached professionally *after using at-home color remover on it*. I had a buzz for quite while after, all hair about 2 inch length. That was a lesson I never forgot. I also suppose you like cheesecake about as much as I do...like NOT. Forgive my little pep talks similar to what I give my pal here at the grocery cheesecake filling containers, "use your willpower, tough it out, suck it up, etc." Oh, sorry, I should have acknowledged that part of your post - I actually love cheesecake, but have never seen anything like you described in a grocery here. LOl easy for me to lay on her; I hate cheesecake. But we all have inner strengths we rarely call upon, and I am gratified to see you pulled some out of your hat lately. You are not me and I am not you; why should you react to life's spitball pitches in the same way I do? SS is really hard to grasp no matter how smart you are; that's why that website is so useful: instead of talking to some snotty biddy down at the office, you can sit there and reread till it finally makes some sense to you; that's what I do, anyway. That MetLife stuff is way over my head& complicated& a different ballpark than SS anyway. Lucky for your hair status hats, caps, and *extensions* (investigate that) are totally trendy all summer I have a couple of "berets" that I like a lot and usually wear out. and on into fall, and after fall, capes with hoodies (but again, you ain't in MileHigh LOL. Let us know if you see C. Anthony; Houston rumored to be a possible current hideout. And here's a They had one of the zillionty news article that said CA has a cousin here in Pasadena (out-burb of Houston) and said cousin invited her to come live here. There was some excessive reaction to that... There is a web site that is basically "stay away from this city CA. Her life would be in serious danger here - almost everyone owns at least one gun - usually more. And we seem to have more than our share of idiots here - you do the math! ; suspicion on my part: Houston leads the nation in resources for expert *plastic surgery* and medical etc. Now you know what I do during the day...HLN channel. Gruesome, I know; but I turned on that J. Springer the other day and ROFL at people beating each other up over cheating,etc. The audiences for that must be on something or are watching cue cards. Shows like that are basically mentally "challenged who just want to show their ass to the world for their 15 seconds of "fame". -- Hugs, CatNipped See all our masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped See the RPCA FAQ site, created by "Yowie", maintained by Mark Edwards, at: http://www.professional-geek.net/rpcablog/ Email: L(dot)T(dot)Crews(at)comcast(dot)net |

Pricey shampoo products will "puff it up" for you (low humidity here) but do nothing for hair *loss*. Have you considered, when long enough, "streaking" so pop now? Draws others' gaze off the crown of head.- Hide quoted text - I thought the same thing about streaking, i.e. highlighting. The hairdresser told me that highlights are harder on the hair than dying because it "lifts" the color (harsher chemicals needed to lighten than to just dye). Best and cheapest products to puff up fine/thin hair: Infusium leave- in conditioner, or a leave-in product called "Fat Hair". Both around $5. I have some... I don't know what to call it, it isn't a gel, it's really sticky. You rub some of that into your hands and you can "sculpt" your hair. I use just a little to I can move my hair around to cover the really thin parts of my scalp. If you ever want a real laugh, watch Joan Rivers hawking her ladies' thinning hair product. It amounts to some powdery stuff that looks like brown eye shadow, which you paint on your scalp with a brush. Really, Joan? REALLY? From someone who has had, what, at least 10 face lifts? I think she is funny as hell and I love it when she's on "Graham Norton" - a British talk show. But she is the *last* person I would take beauty tips from. Useless trivia: Michael Jackson had his scalp tattooed black to help disguise his thinning hair. Oh, I love trivia like that - I have to go tell Ben! Ben... he quit taking Chantix, and started taking his meds for heart and diabetes regularly, and his "old self" has been shining through. I think I'm falling in love with him all over again. He's been doing things like this: After my accident the other day, when I saw my watch crushed I was really upset because I liked it so much - the best thing, for me, was that it weighed almost nothing. You could forget you had it on. Well, he knew how "down" I've been lately and wanted to do something to cheer me up. So, unbeknownst to me, he searched and searched the internet (he could get a job doing this, he's so good) and he found the exact same watch. He was going to put the broken watch into a paper bag and then do a Harry Potter type spell - "Ocular Repairous" (yes, we *are* that nerdy) then reach in and pull out the new watch. One problem though, they sent him the wrong watch. He was so frustrated that he just gave me the new one and told me what he had planned... something he could do with little to no money (the watch was only $10.00** with no S&H fees (again, he *is* that good at 'net searching') and he thought it was well worth it to cheer me up). ** It was a Waltham - not a Rolex, but still a very nice make, we certainly paid more than $10.00 for it. He'd already paid the $10.00 for the watch over the 'net, so he was more than a little ticked off (but he is *ALWAYS* nice to sales/help personnel - he used to do phone help so he knows how stressed a person can get in that type of job). *SO* nice, I guess that after he emailed the company to tell them they sent the wrong watch, they were nice enough to say they'd send the correct watch and told him he could keep the one he had (a very nice watch, BTW) - and they would send, free, not even an S&H fee, the correct watch. So I'm going to have *TWO* new watches and he spent a whole $10.00! Now, not only did it cheer me up considerably, but just knowing he had gone through so much trouble just to cheer me up a little that it cheered me up a *LOT*!!! ; On Topic: I am into the second month of commitment to brush Biskit every single day. I put the hair out of the brush in a little trash can and have not emptied it, just as part of the experiment. The trash can is FULL of Bikkie-hair. Can't tell ANY difference in her coat. Is Bikkie the one who usually gets a summer shave? Sammy is the only cat we've had who *hated* being brushed - the one who needed it the most!
