At 5:53pm on July 7th, 2008, KnittyCat said…: Oh yes, I'm sure we could share some stories. I've hung out in LA (lower Alabama) for years. Being in the south is not necessarily bald female friendly (at least it wasn't while I was growing up. It has got somewhat better, but there's still room for improvement. Being a child of the 70's you'd have thought that things would've been different,I mean I wasn't living in a commune or anything. I don't know, maybe they thought I was one of the Hari Krishna's (not sure about spelling there). I don't recall running around w/ white gauzey robes and a tambourine, oh well. It has got just a little more accepting. I would love to chat sometime.

At 12:51am on July 7th, 2008, KnittyCat said…: Hi Christine, I saw you on the group "Adults who have grown up w/ Alopecia". I, too, began this journey at age 13. It has been one of many hills and valleys, with a few twist and turns along the way. I have become comfortable with myself over the years and sometimes wear my wig, sometimes not. I'm 51 now, and as you can see having hair is not my #1 priority. There are some days when I don't even put on my face, I just go bare. I remember when I was younger feeling as if losing my hair was the end of my life (and I guess it was as I knew it at the time). Then, I remember thinking - "well at least I still have my eyebrows and eyelashes", SURPRISE. Life is just one practical joke after another, isn't it? Once I learned that I was none of that stuff, I was okay w/o wearing the hair. Right now it is hot, here in Alabama, so I'm not wearing the hair much. This winter, when the weather becomes cold, I'll either wear my hair or a hat. Anyway, I just stopped by to say hello and was glad to meet you (in the ethernet kind of way). Later, Marie aka "knittycat"

I am just now getting back to the wonderful messages of thoughts and prayers for my daughter, Kristin. I had the best sleep in 10 days last night because she is home from the hospital. Thank you for thinking of us and your prayers were heard loud and clear. Hope all is well with you and yours.
Love and Hugs,
Dotty
