 Yeah, this is something different all together relating to iris' and
 stress.  I'll have to dig it up on the Internet.  Heck if it was in a
 Readers Digest, its sure to be on the net somewhere.

Yair, I knew it was bad last August when I went to a user group meeting
and they took some digital pictures and showed them on the telly
later... it was terribly obvious, but I'm not the kinda person to rush
out and buy a wig.  It does seem to be coming back these days... little
bits of hair are peaking out the top.

Having gone through a year of high school with half my head shaved (due
to major surgery) - no one knew about it because I wore a scarf, I can
only be grateful that the current loss isn't THAT serious.  I just wish
I were about your height because when you're as short as I am, these
things become a bit more obvious to taller people.

Cheers,
Gaelyne
