  1. My line break facility does not work.. I usually press Enter but no luck. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

  2. No advice except shutting down the computer and starting it up again. Meanwhile, your poem comes across perfectly, with its pauses, its shock, and its subtle irony.

  3. Sometimes, when you press Control and enter, it works.........bottom left button on keyboard. Smiles. I love that you tell the story of a cancer survivor so positively, in her loving her new curls. Awesome reminder about hair one doesnt ordinarily think of.

  9. My hair didn't grow back as it used to be. My curls remain curly, but I have a small collection of bald spots. So, I'm sporting the mostly bald look. And my hot flashes and I are loving it!

    What Sherry said, about the line breaks.
