[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 383062, member: 1991"] G'day people. Sharon/LDM, that's quite a temperature range. I think the family reunion is a good idea, it is a shame when family only meets at funerals. I am very grateful for our family reunion last weekend. I had to chuckle at "ethnic hair" - it's not always ethnic. easy child 2/difficult child 2's ex-boyfriend (and her current husband, to a lesser extent) have what can only be described as very kinky hair. They've got a crimp like a merino sheep! SIL2 isn't as bad with his hair, the exBF's hair was a shocker, and he didn't have a clue how to look after it. He is a natural redhead, I know they have very curly hair as a rule, but this really was extreme. SIL2 isn't African in any way, neither is my daughter's exBF. But I take your point - we just don't have the need in Australia, for hairdressers to specialise in kinky. But they would have to know what to do, we would have enough kinky hair to need the services. Sharon/WO, if you'd done boot camp you'd be in sorry shape to do the long drive. Stay safe! Fran, it's good that difficult child is beginning to manage more independently. Your mother sounds like she's got everything organised for the Grand Tour over winter. Last day of school holidays today. I had a moderately busy day. First my oncology appointment. I'm seeing them every month at the moment to sort out some side effects from the "anti-hormone pills" treating my cancer. Today I got told, contrary to what I was told last time, that I shouldn't risk stopping the pills because I'm too young to risk 'feeding' any possible stray tumour cells. But they might change to another medication instead, depending on the second research team - a new mob. Second appointment - the new mob, the second research team. This was at a different hospital, a specialist women's hospital in the centre of Sydney. They're looking at some rather intimate and distressing side effects (the same ones I've been complaining about) in my current medications, trying to find alternative ways to treat them. But after a detailed exam, I don't meet the criteria. And I'm already doing almost everything I could be doing. They gave me two more things to try, but it looks like I need to go back to my gynaecologist to sort out a few things. Yet another specialist! After a bit of discussion with the parking station payment people (I HATE parking at that place!) I got out of there and headed home, arriving mid-afternoon.
