I have no doubt that she still remembers that conversation today. I also have no doubt that it had nothing to do with the break-up.

Are elephants, like women, able to remember every word of conversations that never actually occurred?

No, I'm not a closet Julia Roberts fan -- or an open Julia Roberts fan. Why do you ask?

That correlation is well established. I'm not sure the causality is understood yet but, with all the money being spent on research related to male pattern balding, I expect the causality probably is understood.

'Curl up and dye' was the name of the hair salon in the Julia Roberts romance 'Runaway Bride'.

No idea about research, I can only report on pure gut reaction here .

Letting that stuff soak into your head, and then wondering where dementia disorders in later years come from. Big pharma making caustic chemical baths for the top of my head? Pass. My wife quit using the stuff years ago. It causes more grey, so you keep using the product.

snip.

As for dementia, search for dementia or Alzheimer's and aluminum. There is a known connection... Modern anti-perspirant deodorants contain aluminum along with chemicals that encourage that metal to absorb into the skin.

I found a class of deodorants that do not contain aluminum and work equally well in my experience. Search Amazon or the web for "deodorant stone". Here's a link to my review for one such product. Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: Pure Natural Deodorant Stick 4.25 Oz I have no affiliation other than as a satisfied customer. I think more people should know about this stuff.

Must have been, haven't seen 'Earth Girls are Easy', but 'Runaway Bride' was made 11 years later!
Geena Davis fan then ?

I can't really say I'm a Geena Davis fan either. If the choice were between Geena Davis and Julia Roberts, it would be up to my girlfriend to decide. I don't get involved in choosing our threesome partners and she has learned not to ask my opinion. I guess she would choose Geena Davis, but she sometimes surprises me.

Well, I've led a very sheltered life and never had a threesome, but must say I would have to select the redhead over the brunette. Wouldn't want any confusion .
Laughing so hard here my hubbie is asking what is up LOL!

I'm completely indifferent about things like hair colour. Men are biologically programmed to like something different (sow the wild oats) which is why in all cultures women tend to change their hair styles (and even colour) frequently, while men often keep their hair the same for decades.

Bring home another woman (one you fancy) for his birthday and he'll never, ever leave you. Don't worry at all about his taste in women. It's the thought that counts.

Really? Do you suggest I go blonde next hair colour? Wouldn't want to have my better half bored LOL .

After 33 years together and only a handful of nights apart in that time, I doubt he would ever leave me .
PS He would never ever find another female who antifouls or cooks better than I do or ...... (well, modesty restricts me in giving more details LOL), so I think my future is secure regardless

I don't recommend chemicals -- especially bleach. Changing the length, braiding, up or down, ponytail, etc. are, in my opinion, better options for "keeping it fresh" as it were.

I can think of better options than hair style for variety .

Very good. I know better than to ask whether or not any of them involve the trident in the emoticon you chose.

Hmmm, no of course I can't give any details here. Thirteen year olds are accepted as forum members. I wouldn't want to be responsible for hastening their education .

Yes, it's amazing how far modern society has extended childhood and irresponsibility. My grandfather served as ship's wireless officer in WWI at age 12. During the War of 1812, David Farragut commanded a captured ship-of-the-line at age 12. Francis Drake went to sea at age 10.
