Hey, thanks again all of you. You've made me feel much better! I am still a little unsure...but I'm sure I'll get used to it.
Trouble is, no one recognizes me now. My friends walked right past me!! When I called their names, they turned around and did this

And I may have to change the palette of my closet to match the new colour....so looks like some clothes shopping is in order, oh the hardship!
(A'ndrea, I love your latest avatar! You look so happy.)
