I was just checking mail before I went cruising for updates on her condition. I was hoping she'd pull through, but I guess it wasn't in the cards. Geez, with everyone who's died this month, (Doug Henning, Jim Varney, Tom Landry, Roger Vadim, Charles Schulz, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, and now Ofra Haza) it's been really depressing all the way around. :/ Here's hoping you and yours are well.

She began wheezing in mid-January, and by the next week had full-blown pneumonia & was in the hospital. By mid-February she was on life support with massive irreparable scarring damage to her lungs. her parents are taking her off life support this coming week. I've been able to think of little else since hearing of it. I have it in mind that it may have been caused by some kind of inhaled mold or fungus (they live in New Orleans, where things are damp much of the time) from somewhere, though no one else in the family has had similar symptoms. Is this part of the respiratory flu that is still going around, I wonder.

I used Rogain for a few years, and it did slow down the loss and reverse some loss, but I decided it wasn't worth the cost any more. You do start to revert to where you were after you stop. That sudden thinning was why I adopted my new style - take it all off. I guess another option for those with thinning hair is to take up wearing a beret constantly (;-) A topic never breached here before, but am I the only one curious about what TMDR is sporting under that hat? - -Keith - ----- Original Message ----- From: D'Arcy Salzmann To: Sent: Friday, February 25, 2000 12:45 AM Subject: RE: Alloy: The Great Peanut Butter Experiment! > > Rogain or Minoxidal > > >>that prescription wonder drug that must be continually used... forgot the > name. > ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2000 09:19:38 -0800 From: "Kathleen T.

I have a photo from a few years ago of Thomas looking exceedingly handsome, *without* the beret. In the picture it is only Thomas' exquisite self which would be under the hat... though on other days, I suppose he could improvise...

Well..sort of. Now wait a minute! You're not going to make me smear my head in peanut butter are you? You know, that smell stays with you. I can see the comments at the office now... "What's the matter? Forget to put on the jelly today?" And, yes, men do talk about shampoos, honey. Especially balding ones. And then electrix wrote, > Hmmmmmmm... the peanut butter solution, heh?

Oh! Here we go! At a party, you spread peanut butter on the heads of anyone who's bald and then everyone just sort of scrapes off what they want. Ok, I have to stop. This conversation is getting too weird! I think I'll try the beer method. "A little up top... a little down the hatch... (gulp)... a little up top... a little down the hatch... (hic)..." Back to the serious part of the conversation... My grandfather took zinc supplements and turned his gray hair back to black. I've heard that gray hair, and sometimes balding, is actually a sign of mineral deficiency, in particular chromium and vanadium. Which, by the way, are also required for healthy, flexible arteries and such. ___________ JAMac (Dennis S.

Yeah... nice and sticky, Uhmmmmmmmm....LOL!!! >Back to the serious part of the conversation... My grandfather took zinc >supplements and turned his gray hair back to black. Yes... that would always be the case on people who didn't inherit the balding pattern. Nutrition and good grooming would certainly nurse it back to health. In fact there is an outfit here in Los Angeles that help in the hair growth by finding the deficiency of nutrients in the hair in order to restore it. Us men have to blame it on the male gene, most of us are not lucky enough to inherit the genetic strand structure from mother. But give it 20 more years or less... Science has just recently mapped the most of the genetic code of a fruit fly! Most of which parallel human genes. http://more.abcnews.go.com/sections/science/dailynews/fruitfly000218.html We then might opt not only to have long hair, but also what color and texture. electrix ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2000 13:04:35 -0800 From: "electrix" Subject: Re: Alloy:(OT) bad news Robin T wrote: >Sorry to add to things but I've just had news that my friend's >three-year old daughter is dying.
