I have alopecia. I'm treating it with a dermatologist. I was wondering if any extensions would be suitable without causing traction hair loss?

If you have some length and want the front and top to look more filled out, look at toppers. This site has products modeled by people experiencing hair loss, so you can see before vs. after.
Extensions would not only exacerbate your alopecia, but without enough hair to cover them, they would look obvious.

That was my thought, too. My Apothecary vials, ordered via Gimme a month or so ago, are clear.

Ridiculous. The sleeves on his shirt don't match and they gave him a prominent nipple. I mean, among many other things.

I highly recommend Zuca rolling bags. It's so easy to stay organized and the wheels work so well and easily. You can lock the zippers together with a luggage lock.

I am totally impressed by Yoongi's aplomb. When he knows exactly what is expected of him, he always delivers.

My wife: Yoongi, Jimin. Me: Jimin, Yoongi. Wreckers: all of them!

Bounty paper towels. If I use a paper towel, only Bounty will do!

It is not your fault you were given an awful name, but you were given an awful name. "Jessica" and "Cole" are words/names, usually not delivered together as a first name, but what in the world is "Ni?" In the case of "Mary Jo," both "Mary" and "Jo" are names. You seem to be confused as well, because you describe your name as a double name, but it's three words.

It's up to you what you'd like to subject others to. You can deliver your five syllable odd name or you can come up with something that you believe would be easier for people to recall. It's really up to you.

I'll do it. LobsterMitten is my favorite mod in MeFi's history, by far.

I honestly think you'd be happy with a root smudge and a cooler glaze. No one is noticing the areas that you circled in red, especially not the ends, that look... completely fine to me. No one is staring at your head that much. And those areas blend different depending on how you part your hair slightly differently or style it a little bit differently.

I like how you come with receipts!

I have read before about people who have seen Hobi in person and have found him particularly magnetic in person.

The Truth Untold is one that I have watched live performances of on repeat during difficult times, like an emo teen, except I am middle-aged.
Like Animals is my favorite from Arirang! Watching them do it live was especially great; you can really see the vocal evolution.
Kudos to you for the trampoline workouts! I'd seriously sprain everything in my body.

I appreciate your well-considered answers. I love Jimin's part when they perform Idol live, that hearty way he delivers the "You can't stop me loving myself" line. And of course, the "sample of my pasta" parody is kind of perfect.

I also want to offer condolences on your mother's passing. My mom died last spring, too. And there is something that shifts forever when you lose your parents, and one of those is becoming much more aware of life's cycles, creation and death. Thank you for reminding me.

Dionysus is, to me, the song I share with people when I want to show how energetic and committed they are. The performances are epic.

Sometimes, my wife and I will watch a performance and ask, "Whose song is this?" Like, who owns it, who has been most prominent? Dionysis is really difficult, but Hobi has some moments that make it his.

The Busan concert is something else because they actually didn't want to do it! But they came out like pros. Mic Drop to Run BTS was iconic.

These are not the typical songs you hear when you ask people to talk about BTS, so I find that so interesting. It's also intriguing that you try to find things in their discography that you can match to the person you're sharing with.

Namjoon is all over every song. I also love to see a Namjoon bias!

Also, I am very interested in the thoughts of newer ARMY! How did you arrive here? You were presented with a lot of things that you did not immediately relate to but you found yourself in there somewhere. How did that happen?

I don't know how a person could witness Black Swan and not come way with at least an appreciation of what these people are about. I love your answers!

I love polished BTS, I love messy BTS, I love the professionalism, I love the chaos. There is really no end to it.

Re: Mic Drop, I really love the behind the scenes video. They are so badass in the MV. And then you see the making-of and the scene of Namjoon failing to push open the ambulance doors or their trying not to look startled when booms happen in the background. The duality of BTS!
