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. -- Bill Sloman, Nijmegen

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 :-) -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/

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. John

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. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/
