Okay. I'll quit picking on you, then.

That could be an explanation, but - since I don't have dementia -
doesn't happen to be a useful one.
Jim Thompson is famously out of touch with reality, and has any number
of silly ideas. This is almost certainly one of them, and I was merely
curious to find out if the idea that "hair colouring dyes cause
dementia" was circulated by Fox News or some other source of right-
wing misinformation.

I haven't tried those guys, but I will. Their website suggests

T'is what I meant. The web site wasn't really done by a pro but will be
soon. I told them that it must be possible to look at individual menu
items on a cell phone and there 38MB ain't gonna cut it.
But the sushi and other food is absolutely great. Plus Hefeweizen on tap
at $3.50 per huge mug. This side of heaven it doesn't get much better
than that :-)

I was salt and pepper by age 16. Steadily whiter over time. Used to be
all proud of it, haven't cared for decades.

I have a set of those, but they are awfully big. The big radius makes
it hard to carve short slots.

Lucky you. Mine ended up in the Dutch sewer system. When I was around 22
it began falling out massively every time I showered. Sometimes so bad
that it plugged the shower drain. My dad said not to worry, that his
fell out when he was 17. But they went through WW-II and nutrition was
not always that great back then, some days there simply was no food.
