Don't throw the blow dryer away - it still has a purpose...... you can use it on the plastic window coverings to winterize your house.... you can use it for various crafts that require heat such as heat shrinking plastics..... you can use it to power a hovercraft toy.... it dries paint really fast...etc, etc, etc.

I've not used a hair dryer on my hair in probably 10 years, but I still have one!  Grin

Thanks Bikerbraid, I'll try and keep those other uses in mind, especially the hovercraft who woulda thunk? Grin

Aye, and let's not forget running one between your bedsheets when it's cold, drying out wet shoes or drying a facial masque!  Grin

I haven't used my blow dryer in years, but it still lives under my bathroom sink, "Just in case". 

There's something about having it, I guess.

WOOOOO HOOOOOO!!!!!  I JUST MET PRINCE!!!!!  YAY!!!!  He invited my husband and I to dance on stage with him to my favorite song!  He also gave us tickets to tomorrows show because he wants us to dance again but unfortunately, we're leaving in the morning so I can get back to my kitties because I miss them.  Although now my husband is going on and on about how he wants to stay so who knows.

It was such a nice time that afterwards I couldn't help but cry.  I'm sure that people thought I was crying because I was excited about Prince but I was so sad that I won't be able to share tonights events with my mother she'd be so excited for me.

On another note I was really horrible to my hair.  I curled with an iron instead of my molecular rollers because they broke the day before I left. Cry  Oh well.

Yeah, it was so lucky!!!  I'm back home now, I just got in.  We decided not to stay but sent Prince a bouqet of flowers and a note thanking him but declining the invitation.  The concert was great and the whole time in general was very eventful, I'll never forget it.

We didn't get the opportunity to go house hunting while there, the houses that I saw online weeks ago were already rented by the time we arrived but, I still don't think I want to live there so all is fine.

How cool! And how nice of him to invite you back - that's awesome. Some stars just truly know the value of good P.R.

Glad to hear that you had such a good time. Maybe you can go back & see him again soon.  Smiley

I think we may return for either New Years or my birthday.  I was just entirely too tired to stay in Las Vegas another day.  We arrived on Wednesday evening and pretty much hit the ground running.  We went to a concert and then right after, saw another band play and they also had me up on stage dancing.  It was all very exhausting.

There aren't any pictures although I did read a blip about it on one of his fan sites.  Prince doesn't allow pictures to be taken at his concerts.  But thats fine with me, I'll always remember it picture or not.  I used to have Prince posters on my wall as a kid and his music has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember so it was very surreal to have him ask me to dance twice (the first time by myself and the second time with my husband) and also hold my hand.  He even invited us to a private after party which he decided to cancel due to his being tired, so I guess I wasn't the only one.  Yeah, I'll never forget that night.

Just got back from my new dermatologist and of course they decided to completely change my meds yet again.  No more clobetasol, or steroid injections or retin A.  This time I've been prescribed tar.  Yes, some sort of medicated tar.  I'll have to apply it once a day and it's supposed to stimulate my scalp and promote hair growth.  Apparently, it has a high regrowth success rate, taking only a few months to work.  We'll see...

Also, I have a few small pimples on my forhead and the dermatologist recommended that I stop using oil in my hair.  YIKES!!!  As soon as I found something that works for my hair it breaks out my face.  Oh well, I think I can live with a few tiny pimples.

I've been paying more attention to my hair lately of course and noticed that although my hair can be thick, that the strands are not.  So, I began looking around and found a few facts about my hair type that have kind of cleared things up a bit for me.

Type 4 hair appears to be coarse, but it is actually quite fine, with lots and lots of these strands densely packed together.
I had been under the impression that my hair was coarse but when I looked closer at the strands, I began to question this because my strands are thin.  Although, I do have some coarse strands, overall they are fine.  All of my hair that sheds is fine and the breakage tends to be coarse which doesn't really make sense to me, I'd imagine that the coarse hair would be stronger.

Type 4 hair has fewer cuticle layers than any other hair type, which means that it has less natural protection from the damage you inflict by combing, brushing, curling, blow-drying and straightening it. The more cuticle layers in a single strand of hair, the more protection it has from damage. Each time you damage your hair – fire up the curling iron, fry it with chemicals – you break down a cuticle layer, robbing your hair of much-needed moisture. Shocked
I guess this is why my hair tends to grow longer the more I keep it up and the less I do to it in general.

Generally, this hair is densely packed to give the appearance of very thick however, fragile hair.
And it does look very thick when air dried after a wash however, when heat is applied and it is straightend then the hair no longer has a thick appearance but a thin and flat appearance which amazes me that the hair can go from one extreme to the next.
