In case anyone is wondering…I have alopecia areata. This is a condition where your immune system attacks your hair follicles for no good reason. So far the doctors don't know why and have not been able to help me much. I decided to shave my head to help it heal etc. and I love it !!! You guys have it SO easy! Anyway, it has suited me fine and I have no regrets  :o) Be Well.

Hey everybody. I want everyone to know my only brother, David, ended his life 4 months ago. I mention this because he had Asperger's (high functioning autism). He had a genius IQ and was a wonderful person. I am trying to spread the word that there is a higher incedence of suicide in people with Asperger's. My family didn't know this or we would have been more tuned into his emotional state than we were. I am hoping to do a web site in his honor, about this issue, eventually. But until then…please pass the word to any/all families you know that are affected by Asperger's. The condition is more widely known now, but not many people know about the increased risk of suicide. He was a great person who stood for excellence in every facet of his life. I am hoping these efforts to inform people might thwart another neddless tragedy. I will post his photo on my photo page. Thanks a lot for helping spread the word and thank you for all the love,support and kindness from all my Zaadz buddies.

I won't lecture anyone on beliefs….you all know what is true for you and more likely than not, if you are here, we probably agree more than disagree. I wish you well………
