Hello guys,
I thought I would say hello to you all (if you remember me!). Since I've been gone I've been doing a lot of life rebuilding. Since being badly assaulted all the way back in 2008 and struggling to keep my grip, I have had help from some lovely people I am finally approaching an "ordinary" life again. I now am (sort of) self employed and am slowly starting to move around the country again - way better than the jobless, hopeless bubble I spent a year or so in. I am now comfortable with socialising again and that's part of the reason I am now visiting the board again.
The other reason is that there is a big point in my hairs life that I am reaching - 10 years of growth and I'd like to share it with you guys - if you'll have me. :)
I'm really looking forward to connecting with you guys all over again.
Take care everyone.
Neil.
Hey Neil, I certainly do remember you and also I remember what happened to you.I'm happy to hear life is returning to normal or as close to it as possible.It's a shame you had to endure what happened but sometimes life deals you a bad hand.Oh, and before I forget.......Welcome Home My Friend! Definately would love to see your update Neil.Cheers

Hello guys,
Hello Mark,
Thanks for the welcome back friend. Life certainly did give me a bit of a boot in the balls. In a way though, I'm glad it happened because I have built up confidence that I didn't have previous to all the bad stuff. I certainly appreciate the life I have and the people I have around more nowadays. Unfortunately, my update isn't until October, but I thought I'd reconnect with everyone first instead of just popping up from out of the blue.
Take care friend,
Neil.
Yes Neil, Welcome back! You are always in good company here!
Glad you are OK !!!
Congratulations on your 10 year milestone!!!
peace, jonalbear
Hello Jonalbear.
Thank you for the warm welcome friend. Yep, 10 years. It's crazy how the time goes. Unfortunately for you guys, it's 10 years in October, so a bit of waiting to do! I thought that I'd get back on the board and see whats happening before I post my update.
Take care.
Neil.

Yes, Neil, I do remember you. It is good that you have come back to MLHH. Welcome back to our community. Your mane must look impressive after 10 years growth.

Hello Scott,
Thanks for the welcome back friend. Y'know, I'm honestly not sure that my hair has changed massively since the last time I posted. It may be a tiny bit longer, but not much. It probably looks slightly different because I treat it a bit differently these days - no blow drying and what not - much less brushing too. My 10 year update will come about early October time. So, a bit of waiting to do yet.
Take care,
Neil.
Howdy, Neil! ^_^
It's nice to see folks facing hardship get back onto their feet; my brother was erroneously assaulted by trigger-happy police about a year ago, and they gave him a lot of hell in the courts, but now he's talking again with his lovely ex, and has a swell job helping out folks down on their luck.
May your life returns to a state of relative fortune or beyond! It breaks my heart to see people having a troublesome turn of events, but I love to see some hope arise. : ) Welcome to the boards, man! Hope it does you some good, and you might even make some friends here. :D

Hello Venya, nice to meet you :)
Thanks for the support friend. It was very difficult a year or so ago but now I am much better. I am hoping to rekindle some old friendships and make some new ones on the board. I'm looking forward to chatting very much.
Take care,
Neil.
Hi Neil,
I've only been a member of this community for a few months this year, so haven't met you before. I am so sorry that life has dealt you some blows, and glad that you are getting back on your feet. One thing you can be certain of is a warm welcome back from friends old and new. We look forward to sharing your progress. Good luck, Ian
Hello Ian, nice to meet you :)
Thank you for the support. I am glad to say that I am hopefully over the worst of my troubles. I feel a bit silly for leaving the board behind, I must have missed a lot. Anyway, I should be hanging around for a while. :)
Thanks again and take care,
Neil.
Hi Neil,
It is so good to hear from you again! Of course I remember you very well, and in fact, you were the very first person who replied to my first post on the hyperboard, way back in September of 2007!
Thank you for letting us know how you doing, and of course, I am genuinely sorry to hear about what you went through, but relieved that things have been looking up for you lately. Hurray about the hair as well, and I am delighted that you are still growing it. I will be looking forward to your update, and hopefully, we will see you around here more often!
Take care,
David
Thanks David,
Things are a lot better for me these days. I had trouble socialising for a long time, even on the internet. But I'm gaining confidence day by day. I'm still sporting my MLHH shirt as well - I never forgot about the board :) I hope to stay around.
Take care,
Neil.
Hi Neil,
Welcome back mate and good to see you posting with us again. I'm sorry to hear about the last few years but glad life is returning to some sort of normality.
You are always welcome here mate. Looking forward to your next update.
Cheers,
John.B
Thanks John,
Yeah it's been tough, but in a way it has been worth it. It has made me appreciate the quality of life I have and people who have been prepared to help me out. God knows I made it difficult sometimes :P
Cheers mate.
Neil.
Hello Neil,
Welcome back to the board and I did wonder how you were getting on. Are you Neil the Fuzz on the other hair site?
I can relate to what happened to you as I too have experienced what you have gone through and understand the trauma associated with it. I do know that you find out who your real friends are and also your inner strengths. I fought back through the legal system and got some satisfaction from it.
I always looked forward to your posts and hair updates as I too have the hair type 3a/3b and learning to work with it rather then against it and embracing my curls. Your posts and pictures helped inspire me along my own personal hair journey to which i am grateful.
Again welcome back and don't be a stranger!
Best,
Duncan
Hello Duncan,
Yes I am NeiltheFuzz on the LHC. I haven't been checking up over there recently either. Maybe I should go say hello.
Thanks for the support and the welcome back mate. It's really appreciated.
Take care,
Neil.
Neil.
A big warm welcome back! I sure do remember you from before.
May your 10 year hair growth milestone bring you much better things in life.

Hey Oren,
Thanks for the welcome back friend. I am definitely hopeful for the future.
I noticed your beard mate. Seriously epic! :)
Take care,
Neil
Hey Neil, it is good to see you again! It has been a while indeed. How are things with you brother? And do you have a facebook account?
Hello Mark,
I good thank you. Things have been difficult over the passed couple of years, I sort of shut myself away for a long time. I've got some help now though and things are definitely getting better, I'm socialising for a start, which is why I have made the decision to return to the board. It's going to be great to connect with everyone again and get caught up.
I do have a Facebook page, its facebook.com/neilthedruid
Thanks for the welcome friend,
Take care,
Neil.
Hi Neil, great to hear from you again after such a long time, I have wondered what you were up to. Really good to know that you still have your mane. Looking forward to seeing some pictures. Cheers mate :)
