Thank you for the warm welcome and quick reply!
I'm looking forward to having better hair! It's tied in a knot right now... I've got some crazy, self-willed hair! Here's a pic to introduce myself, since I'll be hanging out with you all. This is with mucho product to tame the mop, and it's about 2/3 way down my back now.
Feel free to stick aroud. You will find that many many of the members here are actually Irish too. Welcome.
