Dee, I liked the "old do" too. Are you going to stay natural? My goal for 2007 is to stay natural...I always end up putting a kiddie perm in my hair once or twice a year. I'm going to start twisting my hair next weekend...now I have a curly "fro".

Family,

Just wanted to say good night. I am so glad that so many of us have March appointments and can check and doublecheck our stuff. My apologies to you veterans who are already past this phase. I hope we are not monopolizing the thread too much lately

I tried to go natural too, and I did for a year but I had some breakage so I decided to get a mild relaxer. As some of you know I'm multi-racial and so is my hair LOL. Naturally most of it is wavy but there are some areas that are bone straight and one patch that's a little kinkier; and it varies in thickness too. My experiment to go natural looked a little funny, as I couldn't get it to look consistent.

I remember some time back Jonesie listed some vitamins that would strengthen your hair. Jonesie can you give me the list it again?

Anyone else have any suggestions for hair care?

No need to apoligize. I'm excited for you and I'm sure the veterans are only happy to help

[Shemmy 4]

I agree....no need to apologize. I'm here for support because I can't help much with the process...so much has changed in the last 2.5 years. This is the best place for guidance, information and support. I've met some wonderful people here.

I wish everyone luck on upcoming interview

Hi Family I hope everyone had a good weekend.

Thanks for telling me to get things notarized I will be meeting with my financial planner and he can do that for me.

All those March interview are going to start and good luck on all of them. I know you will all do great. I will be looking to all of you about your experience.

My interview is in April --- thanks Sonshyne

I know I have total have been worried about money and going nutts. Dwain called today and asked if i could go get this cheap car for 2 thousand he found on the net so he could drive to school. I told him not yet until he gets a job. Then my brother suggested that I buy this 3 bedroom farm house from my mom and dad that needs minor work like some carpet and paint. I could pay for it all in cash except for 4 thousand dollars of it. Then all I would be paying for is taxes. We could pay for him to go to school and almost everything on my pay check. He could concentrate on college with maybe only working 10 hours a week. I think it is great but don't know if my hubby would go for it. We could also buy that car he wants with cash too. What would you guys do. I am afraid of living in a town of 6 people. Yes they are all im-breads LOL joking. But we could save money like crazy and go to JA every year debt free. The farm house is the same distance away from my job. Would you move from a town of 40 thousand to a town of 6 to save money?

The bad part is it would take 6 hours to mow the grass

I have been wearing my hair natural for 2 years now. I love it!!! I wore braids or weaves for most of that time, I started wearing it out in August in a curly afro or a afro puff. For the last 3 months I've been wearing it twisted. I'm slowly working myself towards Locks that is my ultimate goal. I've been wanting to do this for several years. I spend alot of time on this website www.nappturality.com. Ok well maybe too much time It is alot like this one... Very addicting and it offers a great deal of info and support. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Yes you could. You can raise them, let them eat your grass to fatten up, and then........

You are too funny!! I was trying to offer you some help!

Hey My VJ Family!!!

Just wanted to check in and say hi.....things are basically still the same over here in Cali.....we are still waiting for the green card.....the FBI name check is still pending!!!!

Duane is busy with his art.....we have started a new thing and he is selling prints of all his paintings for much less than the originals are selling......he has had a lot of success with his art and it does help out alot.....I am busy at work myself and we are just trotting along like an old married couple....

It seems like years ago that we were going through all the waiting for the K1 and stress of traveling back and forth to JA.....we are still waiting but at least he is here so it is a little different...Hope all is well with everyone and I hope things are going great for all newbies.....it sure seems that many things have changed with Kingston embassy. CRAZYYYYYY........

Take care everyone...I will check in and say hi periodically!!!
