I understand and absolutely appreciate what you are saying. Black residents certainly are NOT reaping rewards (unless they work for the Chicago Machine - which is a story not told here).

Have kept you in my “prayers” since your last post and thought of you every night before sleep. I did not know if you would share this with us.

Indeed, Nico.

Now I am hoping there was a shower in that bathroom. I know you’re a slender guy, but..........

I just got my caps in the mail. I can’t tell if they are non itchy because I still have hair, and my head itches constantly (a side effect of high-dose Prednisone, I hope). The bamboo is supposed to be the best. I do wish they were a bit bigger. I’m hoping I can stretch them out without taking all of the “snug” out…

I googled “Headscarves” and seriously - it was love at first sight. Now I have to figure out how to keep the things on my head!!!! :)

Haha! I have been doing that Old Hollywood thing for 20 years now - only with hats.

Groooan. I’m so quirky already:( So why not ramp it up a bit, right!!;)

Well that is good news! I didn’t think I should ask my Docs how they felt about it, because I didn’t want to make a professional meeting that personal.

I can’t think of a reply nearly as good as helgaperez’s. Check the other replies too. I’m seeing a lot of good alternatives to the traditional hijab look.

I agree! I get where Idon’tgive aCanuck is coming from though.. Reading everyone’s replies and awesome ideas, I have realized that I don’t have to wear a scarf EXACTLY like the hijab. I don’t know if I would want to wear it draped all around my neck and bosom.

I wear wide brimmed hats ALOT. Years ago, some idiot followed me down the street repeating over and over “Are you Amish?”

I wear wide brimmed hats year-round, but then I HAVE to wear them. I’m hoping that during the daylight hours I can combine scarf and hat, so that when the hat comes off - Boom - no scraggly head.

You ARE a delightfulcuat indeed! Thank you so much for the recommendation. Over the past few days I have been wondering “how do women TIE these scarves and keep them in place?!” You’re terrific. Thanks:)

Bless you, Girl (and I mean that). Thankfully I have learned & used fabrics from A to Z. I can’t wait to go to our few fabric outlets and by 2 yards of Cotton Batik in every style they have. Also some wispy stuff and winter suitables. I love a challenge, so snaps, a bit of velcro and my own inventions will give me so…

So, so happy for your dear mother YAY indeed!!

Such bold, beautiful and kind words: Thank You!!

Kanye loves Trump so much, why did’t he just name the child Mary Anne?

Chicago: The name of a really good group of musicians. That’s all.
