Stoic Redheads ("redheads can withstand up to 25% more pain than their blond and brunet peers do")

Anyone married to a redhead can appreciate your screen name :0)

LOL!

Is that from yesterday, or today?

Red hair is a remnant trait of Neanderthals.

Seems to be in direct opposition to this older post:

(Redheads)That Flaming Hair Could Mean Flaming Pain - Study

Well, I used prefer dark hair too. My husband's was black. Now it's grey. I used to tactfully set out Grecian formula but he ignored it. I like grey (on him, not me) now.

The salt and peppered look (on a once fully dark haired man) is sexy.

This is just like all those "coffee is good for you/coffee is bad for you, eggs are good for you/eggs are bad for you" studies. I would tend to believe the previous study, however. I am a blonde who sunburns in the shade in CA and AZ. I also need a TON of novocaine!

Vikings then?

I find your lack of pictures disturbing

[operation clinton cleanup]

Lets call in an expert. What say you, Valerie? I personally vouch for your niceties!

I always get a kick out of non-redheads discussing us redheads!

We are like everyone else--we run the gamut from inteligence to stupidity, from firey to very dull, from slim to fat--an on and on. Every freeper who know me, of course, thinks I'm wonderful--never get upset, steady as she goes, has to think about things before I open my mouth--etc. In a word, just about perfect--LOL!

I also sell swamp land in Florida, if anyone is interested.

Oh--just so you will know and never make THAT mistake again, carrot tops are green.

Here's one more thing y'all might not know--but I know it's true because my daddy told me when I was a little girl:

Once upon a time, everyone was covered in freckles--and every time someone told a lie, one of their freckles would fly away.

Hey, babe, aren't you a redhead?

[Alberta's Child]

You're such a party animal. LOL.

[RedEyeJack]

BTT

Vikings then?

Well, they are the ones responsible for producing the redheaded Irish and Scots you see today.

[ErnBatavia]

Ninety percent of the redheaded women I've ever know are evil.

Reminds me of a lady I worked with, who'd say, "I'd rather be dead than have a red head"...

[FEARED MUTATION]

Interesting.

[Victoria Delsoul]

On the contrary – I don't drink much and more than 2-3 glasses of wine means trouble.

The redheaded Norsemen often raped the women in the countries they invaded, and then some took the women as their wives. Over time a number of Norsemen settled down in those countries, becoming part of the local gentry, the others took their wives with them back to Scandinavia .
