I'm just waiting to see if I pass out. Long story.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
That's awesome advice, Andi. I tend to downplay my accomplishments a LOT.
It's due noon tomorrow, so I'll have time for a second pass in the a.m.

Does anyone know exactly how a properly functioning thyroid keeps things like hair and eye lashes properly anchored?
I don't have exact knowledge, no, but I do know the thyroid is involved in stabilizing your metabolism. I have two guesses. The first is, when the thyroid goes out, maybe the body doesn't have enough resources to meet all its needs, and so hair falls out because the body isn't producing the new hair? My second guess is that hair tends to fall out during times of stress too, so maybe the wonky metabolism puts the body under stress and the stress makes it fall out?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I am fairly certain it is not a lack of production of new hairs. New eyelashes seem to come in at the usual rate. It is more that whatever it is that causes the eyelashes to stay in place through their usual life cycle isn't doing its job so my eyelid feels itchy and irritated until I pull on the lashes, then a bunch of them come out very easily. This is not me pulling hard. You know how if you get something in your eye, you are supposed to grasp your eyelashes to lift the eyelid? I can't do that. Instead of lifting the eyelid, the lashes just come out.

OK, I have to say this to someone, and you guys win: At church with my mother yesterday, this man got up to ask for prayers, and just said his first name, like you do. My mother leaned over and told me his last name, because I totally knew him when I was a kid. He's probably 5-6 years older than me, and I totally had the hots for him when I was like 12 and thought he was basically a grownup. So sitting there, I thought, "Oh, too bad -- he doesn't have it anymore." But then we were talking after church, and he TOTALLY still has it! I'm not sure what "it" is, and he lives in New York, but whatever. Attractive man.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hahahah! I love that this is a "sarameg". C'mon, it's not even a booty extradition!
I say have a convenient "reason" to "need" to be in New York. That's how I roll.
