DH and i sat at a table next to him at a restaurant in Santa Monica. He was there with two male friends. Very low key and quiet. He was wearing a hoodie and if I hadn't gotten a good look at his face, I never would have known it was him.

Despite the ridiculous violence, I loved the John Wick films. @Encore Hermes it all started when they killed his dog and stole his car. I know you relate to the dog part.

this woman he's involved with must be very interesting or charming......he didn't pick her for her looks. my (admittedly not very thorough) research doesn't support her claim that dying your hair will cause cancer.

Maybe referring to a new study that was recently released:

https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/06/health/hair-dye-breast-cancer-black-women-trnd/index.html

And from National Institute of Health:
https://www.nih.gov/news-events/new...straighteners-may-increase-breast-cancer-risk

editing to add, sorry, should have done a quote ... From the NIH report:
"Using data from 46,709 women in the Sister Study, researchers at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), part of NIH, found that women who regularly used permanent hair dye in the year prior to enrolling in the study were 9% more likely than women who didn’t use hair dye to develop breast cancer. Among African American women, using permanent dyes every five to eight weeks or more was associated with a 60% increased risk of breast cancer as compared with an 8% increased risk for white women. The research team found little to no increase in breast cancer risk for semi-permanent or temporary dye use."

Of course, there's always the question of correlation vs. causation, but when something hits NIH, it's at least not purely crackpot science. Though I have no horse in the race at any rate (shrug).

I wasn't trying to scare anyone. :flowers: It's just that I'd just seen the report very recently. It almost made me wonder if I'd imagined it, but yeah, it was just on CNN website, as well as a newsblurb I'd heard elsewhere.

As for concern levels, honestly, there's so many chemicals in our environment in general ... we're probably all toast. My own health issues tend to spring from PCOS, and quite frankly, I think for *me* that's probably related to plastics and the fact that plastic dishes in microwaves were a big 'innovation' right about the time I'd hit puberty. .... Ironically, my phd is in polymer physics, so I actually went on to study exactly that issue -- the topic of polymers leaving their surface (and by extension, perhaps leeching into any nearby food). And years ago, while I was knee deep in that research, it was also reported that some polymers imitate reproductive hormones within the human body. I still remember flashing back to all those new and improved polymer-based plastic microwave dishes, introduced right as I was in the throes of puberty, and thought "Bingo". .................. So yeah, my point is that we're all probably toast in one way or another. Such is modern life. :-/

(Sorry, didn't mean to derail thread.)

that's interesting about the polymers....I try to stay away from plastic in the microwave. I tell my DH and he doesn't believe it's a big deal.
Yes, there are so many things to worry about. My sister is always touting organic makeup, organic hair dye, etc. I don't know if it makes that much difference.
I guess I'm derailing the thread now too

guess maybe we need to be careful about "derailing" threads. I got a notice a couple of wks ago that my comment was deleted due to being off topic. really? I didn't know there was a hard rule about that
