Cruising in the Beemer.

Well, he did it. He got his BMW. He's a happy boy..:)

We talked it over and I understood where he is coming from. Yes, it's a BMW, but it's still just another used car. Payments are only $187.00 monthly (can't go wrong there!) His friend at work has a friend that works on BMW's, he has a shop at his house, so he can bring the car there when there is a problem and save repair cost. He did his research for months and he's happy with his decision. And after driving it home, so am I..:):)

I'll be glad to see his truck go, but nobody wants to buy it...:( They sound excited until they find out it has vinyl seats, no air, and no power steering. And, almost 200,000 miles on it..:( We need the money to put towards this other car, so I hope it sells soon.

So, here it is..




It has a few scratches on it, the outside, otherwise the person who owned it, took really good care of it. I hope my husband takes care of it, he usually trashes his cars, but then his cars haven't been anything to really give a hoot about so maybe he'll want to pay more attention to this one.

He also said something really sweet..He told me it's "Our car" not just his. He wants me to use it to go visiting, to work, we'll trade off. What a guy..

------------------------
I went to the Dermatologist today. I have been losing hair at a rapid pace. I had tons of blood work done and all was normal, with the exception that I'm a little anemic. But, he doesn't think that's why. After looking at my scalp and my past history, he came to the conclusion that it has to do with my weight loss. He told me that because I lost 20 pounds the first month and 10 pounds a month after that, I shocked my system. I told him the hair loss accelerated once I stopped the diet and he said that's exactly what he would expect to happen. The bad news...The hair loss will most likely continue up to a year, and the hair that falls out, won't grow back.

The good news... more hair can grow, but in different areas.

Can you believe this??? I try to do a good thing and lose weight to become healthy, and look what happens..:(

Don't get the wrong idea, I'm not bald, lol, but it is something I have to worry about.

So, now, for one month, I have to use Rogaine for women, take 1500 Biotin daily and collect all hairs (only with combing, morning and night) in a plastic bag. Report back in a month, show him the hairs, he'll examine my scalp, go back and do it again for another month and see if the same amount of hairs show up in the bag.

If after six months the hair loss doesn't slow, and he doesn't see any new hairs coming in we'll go on to the next step.

Six months??

Why can't we go to the next step now?

I asked him if I should stop coloring my hair and he told me that's not making my hair fall out, so continue coloring my hair if I want.

YAY, HALLELUJAH, YIPPEE!

I have to be happy with the little things in life.:rolleyes:

Very cool car! Makes my mini van seem like such a granny-mobile!

What a pain with the hair. I hope it stops or they find a solution sooner then 6 months.

Cool BMW!

That car is nice! I was wondering what style it was. I bet you guys are loving it:)

I hope the vitamins and rogaine will work. It seems like we have to deal with one thing or another huh...it really sucks....but just do what he's telling you and I'll bet it will start growing more and more over time.

Congratulations on the Beemer (didn't know they called them that). The payments certainly seem reasonable. Hope it works out well.

That's a pain about the hair. Hope it works out OK for you. So if the hair growing to grow back in different places, the big question is where?

hair loss is normal in all cases of stress. I lost tons after my last c-section, and it all grew back. If not, it grows right next to the dead hair follicles.
I have a friend that used St.Johns Wort for her depression and her hair grew like crazy!!
I used Black Cohosh three times a day for two years for menopause and my hair grew way thicker and longer.
So eh, give one of them a try.
Losing 20 lbs in one month is really, really hard on your system.
The healthy recommendation is no more than two lbs a week. But you knew that already...
Hope your hair comes home. The car is really nice!

Remember bald is beautiful, and that gives you an excuse to buy several wigs.

From our house to your house.

Well congrats! I will admit some jealousy on my end. I've always wanted a BMW.
