Same as everyone else. They just don't see color the same as we do, but even if you look at a Rubik's cube in greyscale, you can distinguish between the different treys!

50 Shades of Gray??? :eek:
I still imagine it would a lot more difficult in greyscale - talk about giving one a headache!!! I'm not colorblind, but I was never able to solve it. Of course my concentration and patience would always give out pretty early in the process. :p
I really must clean this desk off! If much more "stuff" lands here and makes it it's home, then I'll need to find somewhere else for this computer. :eek:
I really have no clue why I took a public speaking class. I am so anti-social, I don't know how I can talk about something for 5-7 minutes in front of strangers.
Because it will be a useful skill that will serve you well in life in general. I promise! And while the old saw is "picture your audience naked" in your case, I'd say "picture your audience as Pet Talkers, that way you know they'll be friendly!" And forgiving after all, post one picture of Mikey being goofy and all is forgotten, right? ;)
I enjoy getting an 84 on a math test once in awhile, next time I'll be aiming for and 85 :D
Good job kiddo!
I know we have talked about accents from different parts of the U.S. in the past. Here's a quiz that I hope will give you a smile...

From the "Inland North" - where we end a sentence with a preposition: "Where's my snow shovel at?" :)
Hi from the Inland North!
Pat, another one
Hi from the Northeast, and then they list Philadelphia below that, so I guess that's pretty accurate. So why does it say I talk like I'm from north Jersey, NYC, CT or RI. No way! I lost my RI accent many moons ago, and I sure as heck don't sound like NYC! :eek:
No big surprise for me, it came up 89% Boston! What Hollywood doesn't ever realize is that no one but very select parts of Boston itself have what they consider a "Boston" accent, and only the Kennedys sound like the Kennedys! I know I have a Massachusetts accent, but no one from Boston itself would think so!
The inland north?
Huh?
I don't call flavored carbonated water "pop", and I've met people from the inland north (or what they're calling that accent) and I ain't it. I can give them a break, however, as my accent morphs to fit the group I'm speaking with. Natural ability polished by traveling in the military. I can fit in in Texas or down on top of Woonsocket without a problem.
Not really! My brother did - and he spent his last 30+ years before he passed away, living in FL. To talk to him on the phone, you'd swear it was one of the Kennedy guys. He never lost his accent after he left New England, which seemed very odd to me. My oldest brother and I lost it really fast, tho there are still a few words that give me away.
The midland, of course. :)
You must have gotten different questions than I did - that one never came up! And none of these quizzes take into account our genetic tendency to match those speaking around us! I'll never forget my friend Ieda dias da Silva scolding me as she thought I was teasing her by "speaking Portuguese" with a Brazilian accent - I tried to explain I was just saying it the way she taught me to say the phrase, having never spoken Portuguese before!
"You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio. 90% Midland.
That probably comes from the fact that I'm born and raised in Tennessee by parents that were from Massachusetts.
These people are absolutely EVIL!!!!!
Putting a pallet of 2 1/2 pound bags of Cadbury mini-eggs as an end cap is WRONG!!!
:p
How does one flunk an open book test???? :rolleyes::confused::(
By not having the book? Or good notes? :p
Or not paying attention when this section was being taught, and you don't have a clue what the question is all about???? :p
:(:( Sometimes I think I'm an idiot! :(:(
Correction - sometimes I KNOW I'm an idiot. :rolleyes::mad:
I have to be, to eat a meatball sub stacked with sweet peppers, green peppers, and onions, when I've been battling an IBS flareup for the past couple of weeks. :eek: I'm going to regret it - big time! But it tasted so darn good - and I only ate half of a footlong............:D
Sign of spring in Chicago - the city announced the bridge lifting schedule! Soon the boats will be going down the river to the harbor for the summer :)
http://www.cityofchicago.org/city/en...ingseason.html
Oh, isn't that interesting! (Chicago bridge lifting.) I'd never heard about that before.
What a delightful sign of spring for Chicagoans!
Can someone please point me to the "Klam Joose" thread? I am having a not-good day and I need to smile. I know that thread will be just what I need, but I can't find it.
THank you,
Elyse
Thank god jurty duty is over!
Yeah my husband is glued to that trial I feel sorry for those jurors!
I'm right there with him! :p I never thought I'd ever see an XXX-Rated trial live on t.v. Some of the things that have been said - unreal!!! Of course I think that Jodi is an obsessed, stalking, nympho, but I seriously doubt that she'll get a death sentence. IMO - she deserves what she did to Travis. Self defense??? - sure - and pigs fly too! And kudos to Juan Martinez for being the pitbull that he is. I can't believe that some felt he was too hard on Jodi and other defense witnesses.
What does your hubby think?
I heard on the news that the U.S. Postal Service has decided not to suspend Saturday deliveries for now.
Yes, I saw that as well. It's all wrapped up in Congressional decision-making ...
After the GAO tells an agency what they're doing is illegal, there's not much to support their move.
NOw if Congress would just get off their collective butts and do something.....but there's already a thread about this.
On a lighter note:
You know it's time to clean out the leftovers in the fridge when you can't tell if the container of red sauce is duck sauce or taco sauce.:eek: (Looks like meat, smells like cake. It's MEATCAKE!)
When I get home from work I ask him how his girlfriend is, (that is Jodi hehe) he has a few words that he calls her that I can't repeat here. I can't believe how many mock juries find her innocent, do you know how much work it would be to stab someone 27 times :eek:
I watched a documentary on the Jodi Arias case, all I can say: nutcase. :eek: It didn't take me long to become convinced of that while watching the show. :eek: Is she still claiming a Man and a Women broke in an killed him? She incriminated herself with that Camera. And the two weeks she didn't tell anyone about the "incident" because she blocked it out of her mind or something.
ETA: Oh so the new thing is she made the whole thing up and killed him in self-defense??? Oh my gosh, well, all I can say is that I hope she enjoys prison!
The scariest thing is how manipulative this girl can be to some people! I mean she ain't fooling me but she appears to be so ridiculously innocent. I think she's crazy.
Correction - 29 times. And don't forget that she slit his throat from ear to ear and nearly beheaded him, and then shot him in the head, too - just to make sure he was really dead, I guess! All this after an all day session of kinky sex - complete with pictures too. :eek: Then she got in her car and drove to Utah and had an "escapade" with another guy. Yup - she's a real sweetheart, for sure. :rolleyes:
I don't know about anybody else, but I am extremely happy for the Alexander Family and with the verdict!;)
There's a comic strip called "Mutts" by Patrick O'Donnell. I love it but at the same time it makes me very sad. The past few days have been "Shelter Stories". The characters talk about being adopted. There was one a few days ago about waking up, drinking coffee and then going to the shelter and bringing home a kitty - A perfect day. I did that with Cassie... I actually met her on a Saturday and then went back the next day, had my screening interview and brought her home. The first few days were scary because she was frightened and hiding. But she came out and made herself at home :love: :love:. But I'm torn about this comic because it touches my heart. I want to bring ALL the kitties home. Perfect day after day after day... But I can't :(
I look at "Mutts" every day (I get it by e-mail), and I love it too, Elyse. And the "Shelter Stories" (which he does every year) also make me very sad, for the same reason. I want to bring every one of them home, too.
