Also - don't know if I've mentioned it before, but I've been growing out my white hair since August 1st. Just got tired of every 2-3 weeks at the hairdresser's especially when I was trying to protect CMM at home and my hairdresser wasn't being careful. It's a long slow process (my hair is well below my shoulders). I'm liking it so far though, and think my I'm getting a bit of new hair growth, which is surprising, since I never thought the dye was hurting my scalp. There's also some unclear research about hair dye and cancer risk, especially people like me with dark hair color and lots of episodes of dyeing. So I'll proceed with it and hope I like it when it's all grown out. My hair has never been any color other than my natural brown - my hairdresser matched it exactly with the dye.

Right now I'm not interested in dating again, and don't know if I ever will. But anyone who dates me will have to be okay with snow white hair with a little gray streak in the middle. wink They say platinum blondes have more fun, right?
