Hi Sydney Agreed.And what about the hair that grows to excess elsewhere?-my other half-Also don't get me started on memory loss or repeating yourself!We seem to show signs of dementia before we even get it.As for money what's that?Still we can at least laugh at ourselves,lifes too short when your 'old 'to take yourself too seriously.Thanks for the laugh you gave me,enjoyed this. luv June(Sylvia)
