Plus it's amazing how differently people react. Life is a curious and amazing adventure... even when you just hide in your house.Ravenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04996538460071167819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36130350.post-40961513922132231182008-03-26T22:12:00.000-04:002008-03-26T22:12:00.000-04:00I have put on wigs before that made me feel like t...I have put on wigs before that made me feel like that.

I didn't get a hair cut for a very long time after this particular catastrophe and then saved up and went to some mega expensive place.... did get a good haircut there... the first time.<BR/><BR/>Good morning, Kim. Ah, my sad past... it looks much better filtered through the gauze of time.... ooh that's a good line for a poem.<BR/><BR/>moo - welcome and thank you for your kind words.

Hmmm... reminds me that someone sent me an email about a connection that the government has now admitted to shots and autism.<BR/><BR/>As I recall, your sister-in-law was right about wigs not being comfortable. I'm glad she's doing well now.Ravenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04996538460071167819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36130350.post-62018093971595887012008-03-25T09:42:00.000-04:002008-03-25T09:42:00.000-04:00I've been stalking your blog for about a week now ...I've been stalking your blog for about a week now and had to comment ... this was so beautifully written and so dead on.

AND I read a very strange correlation on an autism board about a lot of kids who have two cowlicks have autism. I was completely skeptical, but he certainly has some interesting hair patterns! <BR/><BR/>My sister-in-law wore a wig for quite some time and I always thought she was just beautiful, but she said the wigs were super itchy and warm to wear. <BR/><BR/>Yes, I agree with Michael..book! book! book!!!Linda Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16801313102525232162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36130350.post-21225739535207715932008-03-24T22:53:00.001-04:002008-03-24T22:53:00.001-04:00geraldine - I forgot to say thank you for adding m...geraldine - I forgot to say thank you for adding me to your blogroll.Ravenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04996538460071167819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36130350.post-69901470752370364332008-03-24T22:53:00.000-04:002008-03-24T22:53:00.000-04:00Hi Geraldine - so funny that you had a similar exp...Hi Geraldine - so funny that you had a similar experience. It was very odd indeed to feel so different just because I had some fake hair on my head. Glad I brought back happy memories. <BR/><BR/>Michael - Thanks as always for your kind words. I'm kind of counting on the great Gods of cyber space to save the posts for me. <BR/><BR/>A book sounds good to me. I'm more than ready to be published. Can you find me an agent or a publisher? I just don't know how to do it on my own. Maybe someone will make a posthumous collection when I kick the bucket and my sister's kids can collect the profits.<BR/><BR/>Title suggestions: Mad Raven Caws Em as She Sees Em.... or... Raven Hatches Lays (Hatches?) Her Eggs. Oh dear, I'm trying to be funny and not succeeding....Ravenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04996538460071167819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36130350.post-41922153775609377862008-03-24T22:30:00.000-04:002008-03-24T22:30:00.000-04:00A Wonderfully Worded post that I enjoyed...as alwa...A Wonderfully Worded post that I enjoyed...as always.

I also had my hair hacked by a supposedly talented stylist. So badly, that I also bought a wig and started wearing it when I was singing semi-professionally (many moons ago). I felt like I was invincible in that wig. What memories your post brought back.<BR/><BR/>Wonderfully expressed, so glad I stopped in. I am adding your blog to my blogroll, now!<BR/><BR/>www.mypoeticpath.wordpress.comGeraldine https://www.blogger.com/profile/07410019941984295767noreply@blogger.com
