Many thanks to FlakeNoir and Dana Jean for their exemplary handling of the situation over the weekend. I could not have done better and learn from these two all the time how to be a better moderator. I hope this has finally cleared the air once and for all so we can go forward once more in the spirit of the community we've become over the years.

Ok, just making sure...it wasn't me? I didn't grow up with any nuns, but you'd be surprised at the amount of guilt a midwestern Protestant upbringing can leverage on your soul!

I was in and out last week and the weekend, dealing with (or in a flare because of)...issues.

Just an aside: Did you know it's flipping impossible to get rid of lice in dreadlocks? Well, now you do. We treated a person crashing in my home for weeks before she gave up. And it takes DAYS and DAYS to comb dreads out. DAYS. And that was with me and my 3 daughters working hours on end. So. Much. Laundry. We've been washing everything for a month. Thank Peter, Paul and Mary, no one else has gotten them....

Anyway, can someone in the know send me a PM so I know what's been up, and also so I know if I'm a problem, and if not how to help?

And, I proffer a blanket apology for anything I've ever done to offend or annoy anyone, ever. Up to and including that time I had the really bad chili dog farts and tried to blame it on the kid behind me in Sunday School. Not my proudest moment.:a11:

You're fortunate that they would comb out. Most have to be cut to the scalp. My former SIL had dreads and had to have them out for a reason (can't remember-cobwebby brains here) and had to have her head shaved. Fingers crossed that no one else has to deal with lice!

And, in its own post, I wanted to thank Moderator, Dana Jean, and FlakeNoir for all their hard work, patience and lack of firearms usage in these forums. Moderating is a cr@ppy job most days, with gusts of infuriating and heartbreaking to keep things interesting. There aren't enough hugs (or monies!) to express how important you all are!

That was the back up plan. I think if she'd had a different hair texture to start with, i.e. not straightish blonde hair, there would have been no hope. As it was, after 8 months, her hair is shredded and she needs to get a lot cut off. But she's much happier with that than rocking the Sinead.

When we have posts like this to read and bring a smile to our faces, it helps a lot when the going is rough. :biglove:
