Hi Kabu - oh dear, my commiserations - but is there a gene in your clan
that makes you all go grey at a really young age, that's what I'm wondering!!

You're a hoot!  Oh... and I dye.

Tony I'll tell you what is a bummer!
I found grey hais in my sons hair while I was in Wagga Wagga. Now if he's going grey where does that leave me? Was I a child bride.....was he born when I was ten?

Hi Durbin - thanks for stopping by!
Dyes are bad for the planet, are they? D'you mean the permanent chemical ones? The one I've bought is one of those that washes out after a while. If it means saving the planet, I'd be willing to remain elegantly mature-looking!!

That's right, Najwa - and ya know, I just can't decide.

You lost your hair and marbles!! Too bad, on Father's Day Tony. U will rise
I am sure of your risilience. Good sonnet, well done with stealing from the Bard and all. I admire redheads...but these days I hate the idea that dye-ing has fooled us about who the real redheads are. Gone the good old days... but I refuse to dye my graying beard because it hurts and stain my skin. Some DYES are bad for the planet too. DYES could make you really DIE! Not U of course. Viva Tony! Viva Shakespeare! DURBIN---new old friend

TO BE OR NOT TO BE THAT IS THE POINT     QUE SERA SERA

Thanks, Enigio (very Shakespearian, isn't it?)
Yes, I've got 3 little blighters. I've just downed some beer I got from my smallest one, who's still only 4! Hope you had a nice weekend, even if you're not a father!

P.S. - I hope my memory's right - I thought you said you were a dad - going on that assumption, "Happy Father's Day," from America!

Yes, do. If you need some quiet time and a lie down, I can arrange
that, too. Just email and we can sort it all out.

Hi circuit - thanks a lot! I don't know whether I dare or not, though.

I think, Afzal, that i'd be in the 'dye to live' category!

Hi IP - it is a paradox, as well!

Yeah, she does, OTA, but I don't wanna go grey yet...

Tony - Ha, ha, ha! To be or not to be on good terms with your wife....
You mean THAT speech?  lol  Well done Mr. Sonnet Spinner.  Reminds me I have to dye my favourite sun dress.......silly me spilled bleach on it.  Rats.

To dye or not to dye, to be natural or not to be natural...
these are indeed the questions these days.

Some people live to dye and some people dye to live !

A good poem to think about..

Tony, I love my "color", but there is something about grey hair on men.. They never look as aged as women do.. maybe she likes those greying temples?

~Peace
