    Grey hair is gorgeous. I wish more women would embrace it.

    Dying your hair doesn't make you look younger.. Just like you wish you did.

    Don't teenagers dye their hair grey now anyway?

    I don't dye my hair.

    I think you have to be really careful with color as you age. Dark color can make a woman's face look very old and hard. I'd think you'd need a colorist that specialized in older women.

    I have very little grey at 58 1/2 years old but I'd still let it go natural no matter the grey.

    aside from getting away with not keeping up, its still discounts on bus fares and in places to eat.
    (pensions are kind of nice too, even if they only just barely cover the rent)

    The women in my family dont go gray, but they do go white if they live long enough. It usually starts in the 70s

    I'm going to wear my hair long and white when i'm old so that's something to look forward to!

    My grandmother lived to be 90 and still had salt and pepper hair. I doubt I'll ever go completely grey.

    I don't think I mind if I go full grey or white. I'll just be a witch. :D I think it'll suit me well

    I'll probably be in denial about my age and dye it. But my hair has always been dark so when I go grey (or more likely white if my mom's hair is any indication) I'll go crazy with all the colors I could never do without bleaching my hair.

    I would never bleach my hair because I'm afraid I'll end up bald.

    The best thing has been the slow realization that no one else actually knows what they are doing, either.

    Some of those Barbies and Carbears could be good money on Ebay for a Thruster or Mini-Mal.

    Yeah, but there is a link to my childhood that I wish to maintain. I think a lot of folks grow up and divorce themselves from their childhoods. I think how we were as children helps shape who we are as adults, and giving those things up would feel like losing part of my identity.

    I know, I'm weird.

    I have taken high doses of DMT, it certainly produces an ineffable experience of indescribable complexity.

    However I'm going to quibble over one of your phrases, Stassman suggests DMT produces near death experiences, which is something different then what "after death state" suggests.
