The weird thing about you.

My hair is longer and shaggy. I may just go with a buzzcut like you. Would make my life a lot easier. Maybe that'll be my new look for the new year.

 

I often can see colors that others can't readily detect. It's got something to do with being color blind (color impaired actually). Typically I can detect very faint underlying blues in what most people think are simply black. Or greens when people think something is only gold. They'll take a closer look and manipulate it in their hands and say, "hey, I guess you're right." There's some scientific explanation for it I read years ago.

Also colorblind guys are used in the military. They put you on a plane to look down and scan the jungle to detect camouflaged enemy weaponry or encampments.

 

semper fi brah, semper fi

 

I was not a Marine I just like saying semper fi. Was never in the service.

Noble family history MBG. Very cool.

 

Great! You had to revive THIS thread? I'm reading through it and I come off like a guy who's so fat he can't get dressed in a walk-in closet, who throws his clothes everywhere, who carries a scrunched up Kleenex in his hand like a nervous grandma, who never washes his face OR HAIR, who's afraid of women in bikinis. Thanks Anne. I can't believe you've done this.

 

I didn't realize how many women still stuff their bras.

Mel, you not liking odd numbers is very strange indeed.

Fisherman, I need chapstick too. I wish I'd never started. But growing up by the winds of Lake Erie you sort of have no choice. A girlfriend once told me she was admiring a tough looking bad-boy with tattoos at an airport. Then he broke out his chapstick and she said he suddenly became comical to her. Since she told me that I always sheepishly look around to make sure no women are near before I dechap.

AnneT, I am the same about needing a nap. In my case, lethargy will hit me for a few hours during the day. The odd thing is I've been this way since I was a kid. When playing with friends in the yard I'd have to go off to the side and lay down. Actually more like flop down like a dead person. I could hardly move. Something that may be tied into that, is, I smoked cigarettes in my early 30's. After a cigarette, I'd feel terribly fatigued. No other smokers I talked to said they felt this. Anyway it may be inherited because my parents have always been big nappers.
