Thanks for your replies!

Hi everyone, I really missed this board and am so glad to have time to post

I bought Nature's Bounty vitamins "Hair, Skin, and Nails" today from walgreens and it's chock full of the right vitamins: all the B vitamins, lots of biotin, even some ribonucleic acid, also some horsetail extract which I read on the net was good for hair. Here's hoping that it gets me some good growth, I've never consistently stayed on vitamins and never for hair

I'm going to try the baking soda clarifyer tonight. As far as my hair the last few years, it's been doing really well. I've grown out to about hip level and with frequent trims it's pretty thick even down to the ends! My natural color of chestnut brown has grown out to my shoulders fro when I last henna'ed it May of 2005 and I'm loving having that color back

As for my life, I've been so busy! I think I posted once or twice after I got married but I started working a lot and my hours were irregular, and we didn't have the net at our new apartment until 4 months ago. I start back to my community college this Monday going to school 3 days a week for the 12 week summer classes and I petitioned to start a 2 year veterinary technology program which will get me ready to take a national exam and become registered. The best I can explain registered vet techs is that it's the same as registered nurses, only the schooling is shorter. There are programs out there to become veterinary assistants in 9 months at Apollo and Pima but those do not get you registered. Being registered means I will be able to perform by myself in some areas without the supervision of a veterinarian and I will be nationally certified to work anywhere and will have the ability to work at zoos and wildlife rescues which are requiring registered techs. I have worked as a veterinary assistant for 2 years and the laws are changing and requiring vets to have registred techs employed. I am so excited for the program and I really hope I get in and start the program in the fall. They only accept 24 students each year and all of your prayers for me to get into the program to learn more and continue to do what I love is very appreciated

Needless to say I've been busy and I think my lack of time to deal with my hair has benefited it I wear it up in a coiled scrunchie bun everyday and don't fuss about it, l.o.l.

Hope everyone is doing well @---->----
