Thanks Juri yeah it is, especially that he gets furious when it's hard for him to wear his socks, or tie his shoes and we have to help him. it just makes him feel....oh, i don't know...sort of helpless, or maybe old

Love the bun!  I have hip trouble too and Advil doesn't help me.  I have to use muscle relaxers that make me feel all wacked.  Hope your feeling better!

Beesan!  Looks to me like you're a Babe!  Love the bun & your secret santa hairsticks!!  I think that's the first pic you've posted, right?

I hope that advil works for you.  I don't know if you're open to this or not, but I'd recommend a chiropractor to adjust your hips.  Deep tissue massage would also be helpful.  I know you're a minor and have to rely on your parents to take care of you and regular treatments can be costly.  I only suggest them because they've worked for me.

Be well!

Sakina

nice hair beesan!!! how long is it? beautiful virgin hair.

Beautiful hair! And I love your olive-tone skin.

Anais

Awww, you guys are great. Thanks everyone

Lisabelle- thanks , and i'm sorry to hear about you hip, i hope it gets better so you don't have to use those medicines

Angelspun- ummm.. i'm not really "educated" in this area but why are steroids bad news ??? and thanks, you are very sweet

Sakina- yes this is my first hair pic. and thanks, i talked to my mom and said we will have to talk to my doc. first so she can send me to a chiropractor.

Juri, and Pan- hmmmm, that's wierd...I WISH i had light brown hair LOL!!

Curlygirl my hair is a bit near waist length.

Anais- thanks, isn't there so much that you can notice about a person just from the back of their head

BB- thanks i don't know why these things happen accidentally, i even learned how to braid by accident- you know just sitting there playing with my hair, and then it was braided

Yesterday the weather was just WONDERFUL it was about 65 degrees, so we skipped our trip to the Science Center, and went to the Botanical Garden, of coarse there is hardly anything growing there but we still got to walk around, and get some fresh air, and i looked around for some herbs, we got sage, rosemary. thyme, bayleaf, and i found some white witch hazel blossoms (does anyone know how that can be used) the blossoms were soooo pretty (hmm..a pic)

We are soooo busy, cuz tomorrow is our holiday (Eid) so we were cleaning the house making sweets and getting ready. Thank God  the Advil is working, or i wouldn't have been able to help with anything.


More tomorrow, i'm soooo sleepy been up since 5 a.m.

'Night everyone

Hello Girl! I just now got around to reading in your journal some more. I hope your hip pain is gone by now. My son had very bad problems when he was about 14 or 15......He had some kind of fluid in his hip joint which caused the pain. The doc gave him some meds (no steroids, just some antiflammatory stuff). We were told that this is quiet common in teenagers....?!?!?!

Your hair is just gorgeous!!! WOW Very beautiful 

Beesan, I must have been living under a rock...I didn't realize you had a journal going until just this morning!  I got teary-eyed when I saw your picture wearing your hairsticks, they look so beautiful on you!  And YOU, from what I can see in the pic you are stunning, a beautiful face to match your beautiful soul! 

Seems like we've got a few things in common, first being reading, I always had a book in hand growing up.  I used to love to read Nancy Drew books, Sweet Valley High, and the Babysitter's club books.  They were the big ones at the time, we would each buy a new volume ( different one) and exchange them with each other when we were done.  Then I got into reading scary and horror stories by authors like stephen king and vc andrews, but I like all kinds of stuff (except romance novels - too sappy!)

The second being scoliosis, mine is not so severe that I would need surgery, or even PT, but it is enough to make me sore and uncomfortable sometimes.  My spine has a curvature that creates a "C" to the right, which makes hip-bending to the left very uncomfortable.  When I stand, my left shoulder sags and my right hip rises higher than my left.  This is a pain because my jeans and side-seam in my underwear are always digging into my right hip and leaving deep indents, sometimes bruises, but that's pretty minor.  I see my chiropractor regularly and he "keeps me in line".

The third thing is our little brothers.  My little brother always seemed to be sick, 2-3 times a year he would end up in the hospital with pneumonia or bronchitis.  It used to break my heart to see such a little boy in a hospital bed, usually under an oxygen tent, I just wanted to scoop him up and make him better.  Of course it never helped that my parents smoked, my WHOLE FAMILY smokes, oh how I hate that!  He always had breathing problems and now has asthma (he's 19 now) and they could never put 2+2 together that their smoking was the reason why!  Now my 19 yr. old cousin is very, very sick with lung cancer, never smoked a ciggy in his life, but both his parents (my aunt & uncle) smoked like crazy around him, and they don't think it has anything to do with why he's now fighting for his life- DRIVES ME CRAZY!  Smokers can be so irresponsible sometimes!

  I'm so sorry, I got way off subject there...and you think that YOU blabber!  I guess that's a 4th thing we have in common!

One more thing...I saw on your list of possible reads that you had listed White Oleander.  I didn't read the book version, but I did see the movie with Michelle Pfeiffer (sp?) and it was a very moving story, I think you would enjoy reading it.  I think it's about a young girls who keeps getting passed from foster family to foster family and tries to cope with it.  It's been a while since seeing it so don't quote me!

I've said enough!
