I recently cut off most of my hair. It was a first for me and at first I was shocked but now I like it and want to keep it short for a while. Shannon

Now you can see before and after pics of Eric and I. We look like totally different people! My hair is growing back. I'm even having some fun with colored hair gels.. I have purple, pink, and red. I color my hair on Fridays for work and on the weekends if we go out. It's fun. The purple looks the best. I put it on lightly so it's more of a tint - not globbed on. Eric thinks I should keep my hair short.. around an inch. I don't know... I will say, the short hair is cool cause it doesn't cover my ears and last week I had a second set of piercing put in. What can I say.. I'm living it up. Oh.. and cloths. I'm loving the cloths. I purchased black knee boots from zappos.com. I had to get the plus size calf ones, but I've always had large calves and theighs, so it didn't phase me. I wore the knee boots with a black denium shirt that was above the knee. With the dark purple hair and a burnt-orange satin top... I looked rather cool. At least Eric, his parents, and I thought so. So, has anyone else had fun with new styles? I seem to be going for the punk look without the multitude of piercings.

Dear Marianne, I also share this stinky problem. Having a bm helps a little. I also chew 2 Gas-X tablets if I need to be around other people and am having gas. It helps for a little while. It is so embarrassing to have gas when I am walking with a friend. I tell her to walk a few steps ahead of me until the problem ends!!! She is so kind and doesn't make me very bad. I seems to be worse after eating Gassy foods like cabbage, brocolli and beans of all sorts. Bye for now, Susan Scott

Ruth You are sooo funny! I'm glad I am not the only one that thinks something crawled inside and DIED! Hugs Marianne

Hi Everyone Hope you are all enjoying your Sunday afternoon. I have been hesitating asking this question but finally decided I need to know the answer from all of you. I was wondering how many of you have really stinky BM's? It seems like I can even bring tears to my own eyes. Is this something that may be abnormal? Marianne
