Then they just got browner as he got older. I find that I don't notice eye color much. Several of my friends made sure to remind me that they have blue eyes. Oops. 4. I was out to lunch with some friends today, and they love FB too. They like keeping up with friends that they'd otherwise lose touch with. They like "stalking" people on FB, too. It's like Covert Gossiping. I feel like, hey, if it's a matter of convenience to keep in touch with friends, then that's not a friendship that is that critical. I have a lot of friends with whom I can pick right back up where we left off whenever we happen to exchange an email, or we happen to be in each others' area. I like that kind of loose, free relationship. FB would kill that for me. <br /><br />Being a grandmother would probably not change my mind, but I've learned to never say never. <br /><br />One of my lunch buddies today said, "Nance, if I ever heard you were on FB, it would make me think of you differently" after I affirmed for her that, no, I was not and she laughed and said she was glad. Sigh. I have a reputation, I guess.<br /><br />J! I have NEVER heard of anyone who irons sheets and pillowcases. Ted spoils you.

I am absolutely certain that the second that evil laser is hitting my eye (I can't believe I wrote that...ACK!) is the exact same second that a big 7.4 earthquake hits California, and I'll be dead. At least blind. No thanks.<br /><br /><br />2. I look much younger in the mirror without my contacts, and it's just an easier way to ease into the day.<br /><br />My eyes seem brown, but sometimes they're green, so I guess that's light brown. Maya says she sees some blue in them, but I've never seen it, so I don't know what she's talking about.<br /><br />I adore FB. I wonder if being a grandma would change your mind? Because one of my favorite things about it is seeing pictures that my sisters post about their kids. My dad is not a huge fan, and HATES the ads and so on, but he loves seeing pics of his grandkids there.<br /><br />I LOVE when my husband irons the sheets and pillowcases. They're SO soft and delicious, and I'm far too lazy to do it myself. SO sexy.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653383372182667361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-67501107438138330142013-06-29T09:40:43.582-04:002013-06-29T09:40:43.582-04:00Ortizzle--Oh, heavens.

I have begun to detest vacuuming because of the cat hair and because of my obsessive need to--once I have the vacuum out--vacuum every flat surface within the property. This includes the front porch. I wish I were kidding.<br /><br />I hear a lot of people say that they created a FB account to keep up with old friends. Whatever happened to email? I don't know; I guess making a mass email and hitting "reply all" is not as wonderful. But for some, FB has been exciting and beneficial in that way, both family- and friend-wise. Good for them.<br /><br />I once heard that grey eyes are especially good for snipers to have. How are your rifle skills? I was a good shot with a .22 in marksmanship class back in college (it was for a phys ed credit). My brown eyes didn't seem to hinder me much although I did have some problems with certifying in the standing position. Sitting and prone were much easier. It's a breathing thing, really.<br /><br />Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17627214346956206283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-46325618400531932942013-06-29T09:13:25.605-04:002013-06-29T09:13:25.605-04:00FB: Not very interested on a daily basis, but I c...FB: Not very interested on a daily basis, but I created an account to more or less keep up with old friends that I really DO care about, but who live so far away that I rarely, if ever, see them. And I have "found" a few people from the past I really was happy to hear from. So it's nice for that. I don't have friends in the hundreds, though, because unlike many young FB-ers, I don't consider that a measure of my personal worth. How ridiculous is it to have those 670 "friends"? They don't have 670 friends. They have maybe 50 friends (about 4-5 of whom are really, really friends), and 620 social media voyeurs. I think my list is at around 32, and several of those people are literally family members spread across the globe. There's lots about FB that I don't like, though, and I find that there is a lot I would never put out there, even though I might like to opine, because it is just, well, a little too OUT THERE. <br /><br />HOUSEWORK & SEX: I forget who it was (I think a former First Lady, but not likely Laura) that said that a husband doing the dishes was one of the best seduction techniques ever. Mr. O. does not do a lot of housework, but to his credit, he never complains about things getting messy when I'm really busy, he brings home take-out food if I am too tired to cook, and his version of vacuuming has me in raptures, especially since he will happily move every piece of furniture necessary to make sure he gets the last of the dust bunnies. <br /><br />BLUE EYES: Mine are blue. *sigh* Sort of blue-grey, really. But not brown. I agree that face shape and facial features are the real determining factors. But much more than that--- it's the overall expression. I do judge people by their facial expressions, especially in their eyes. That says it all. And I do not find that color plays a part in the expressiveness. Hey, think of a past president who was brown-eyed. Tricky Dicky, anybody? Not the most trustworthy brown-eyed person we've ever known.Ortizzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03709991994425909880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-54790236296531792132013-06-28T18:44:06.583-04:002013-06-28T18:44:06.583-04:00Now see, faux, this is where I am just like your h...Now see, faux, this is where I am just like your husband.

Sigh. I must admit, though, that lots of my colleagues are on it, and I miss out on quite a bit of news because, as they say when they finally get around to telling me, "Oh, you're not on Facebook, are you? Yeah, well a few weeks ago...." It's disheartening.<br /><br />I did hear/read about that procedure someplace. All I could think about was Mengele and his horrifying experiments on the little babies in the camps. I'm not saying it as a judgment or anything, just that it made me think of it. I am so scared to have any procedure on my eyes, even Lasik. The ramifications of something going wrong are huge.<br /><br />faux--Yeah, that can be a tough call sometimes.

My daughter is the QUEEN of all that and I just ask an occasional question about this or that friend, and she finds the answer. That works just fine for me. I do love my iPhone, and most of my communications are via text. So easy and fast. Done now.<br /><br />I have really dark brown eyes. I, too, always thought that was boring. Our equine massage therapist has the most astonishingly green eyes I've ever seen, and I would kill to have eyes that spectacular. She's attractive to begin with, but with those eyes, her face is just riveting. Did you hear about the eye doctor out here who is developing a way to remove the brown pigment from eyes? It's still experimental, but removing the pigment permanently leaves you with blue eyes. I could go for that...<br /><br />Males + housework equal attraction.

(The reason that there are white flecks on your black socks is that you're washing them with the towels, honey.). Nope, it's the dryer. He can't tell when a load isn't quite there yet. Not sopping wet, not really damp, but not quite dry enough to fold.<br /><br />I've got an old flip phone, and am holding out until it definitively dies. One can text on it, but it doesn't have a full keyboard, and the process is just too frustrating.

Last night, Rick HAND-WASHED the stuff that would not go easily into the dishwasher. I got tears in my eyes. And the sight of him standing there with his sleeves rolled up and a sudsy sponge was, in fact, quite breathtakingly manly. Those researchers are idiots.<br /><br />fauxprof--Laundry is easy once you insist upon sorting. Go ahead. He can do it. My boys were doing their own laundry at 8. Jared is now a laundry aficionado. Sam...well, Sam hates all grownup chores, including fixing his own baked potato. <br /><br />But I digress.<br /><br />I always decried the text message and the smart phone to my students and family. Then I got the iPhone (primarily to play Words With Friends, I kid you not!)and suddenly text messages became the best way to communicate with my boys. Now I can't live without my smartphone's calendar, notepad, etc. It's shameful.

Or, I'm in denial because I have low self-esteem... which means that I'll never join FB because I'm not good enough to be there! Nuff said. <br /><br />My eyes are blue + green, so I disagree with the conclusions of the eye color study on principle. <br /><br />And as for males + housework, there's nothing sexier than a man vacuuming my house.

I just heard from my blue-eyed buddy and retired colleague Sue that she spent ALL DAY in her jammies today. I was so proud. I don't know if it counts, though; she was working on her second masters degree. I hope your contribution involves being much more slothful and much less worky. Mine does. MUCH.<br /><br />Gina--Your objection to FB is identical to mine. I used to be jealous of those with blue or green eyes. I saw my Hershey-colored eyes as boring and pedestrian. I also wondered if they saw things differently than I did, not in a perspective sense, but visually. Did colors appear the same? I still wonder about that. Anyway, I got over the jealousy.
