Noooo, not the army! Hmm. There's got to be ways to do this! How does your mom need to be taken care of? Does she need to stay with you? Caaaaalllll meee! :)

Damn, that sucks. Is it because it's visible when your hair is up? If it is, that feels wrong somehow...*shrugs* eh, not sure if you could make a case of it though.

The army doesn't sound like a good thing to me...and frankly, I wouldn't even consider it unless it was the only possible way. But that's just my opinion. (Well, not just mine, still...) It's whatever you decide really. Love ya no matter what. *hugs*
