Color is important when buying anything! :) Yellow all the way baby! :)

Oh, I like Gold too. But, it's a friend of yellow. Also, because I work at UPS, of course, I am brown too. :)

Bebbi, a beauty over & over!

My fave color is royal blue. Reg blue not so much.Also deep purple.
Any pastels on this olive complexion look horrid!
My favorite colors to see on others are yellow or purple.

I wouldn't be up and around this early, but we had to take the pup to the vet for neutering.You would think the Mr was getting done the way he is fussing over her!

Have a great moaning & afternoon everybody!!

Good Morning and Congrats oh beautiful Bebbi!

I honestly don't have a favorite color. But I love Lavender and I think maybe my first choice is usually Black. For clothes anyway.

I like different colors for different things- like my Kitchen walls are red, but I would never do that in my living room.

Hope everyone has a good day today!

Morning/afternoon Owlines!!

Congrats on 1st Bebbi! Hi Mary and Goldie!

Although blue is my favorite color, I don't think any of those adjectives descibes me.Blue is my favorite color to wear. I like a black pen for writing. I think if I ever had the opportunity to buy another car I would like a silver one.

Morning Glories!

Wohoooo sunny Bebbi is prettiest at first!

Shirley all colors of green are my favorite. Some of the description applies to me but not all.

Nope I don't base my buying much on the color green. I usually go with what my mood is on any given day.

Mary what is it about men and having the pets neutered? Mr. Lynn D was the same way. Notice not a peep when it is a female getting spayed. Sexist idiots! :)

Bebbilane said...

Thanks for the "beautiful" comments. :) I like to hear about everyone's favorite color. All the colors are nice though. Thankful every day that God gave me eyes to see them. My hope is that people that are blind can still see the colors in their mind. God would do that, I am sure. :)

Bebbilane said...

Lynn - Somehow I knew Green was your color..not sure how (M&M) but I did..strange how that works...hehe

Good Afternoon!

SHIRLEY: For years green was my favorite color..that beautiful shade of green you see in pictures of Ireland. I still love that color..but also like periwinkle blue. I like yellow too. I think my fave color changes day to day depending on my mood.

BEBBI: Congrats on First pretty lady!

MARY: Although I like green..I can't wear that color..it makes me look like I'm going to throw up..lol..

GOLDIE: Never say never! ;)

LYNN: I still wish there was a video..ijs.. ;)

TINA: And just what does brown do for you? ;)

It's going to be 107 tomorrow..ok..that's enough heat for this year..time to turn it off..lol..although it looks like I'm going to be able to swim for another week..so that makes it all ok!

Big Brother finale tonight! Should be interesting! Have a great afternoon everyone! :)

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Hi hooters!

Shirley, I love blue too! My favorite shade is along the aquamarine line.

I also like to wear burgundy, and black.

At home, I always write with a blue pen, but at work I have to write with black.

Whab, it's a date! I've seen Stevie alone and with Fleetwood Mac many times. Mostly at Concord Pavilion, but also at Shoreline down by you, and Oakland Coliseum.

By far, the best is Concord Pavilion!

I'll keep an eye out for tour dates.

It's been a long day, I am going to go watch Survivor then the Big Brother finale.

Hope everyone has a great Thursday!

Hi EBJ! Enjoy your night of TV. Those shows have already been on here.

Thanks for all the comments today on my blog. Nighty night Owls!

((HUGS)) Dianne I hope you're feeling ok.

whabbear said...

EBJ: OK!

Shirley: Red has always been my favorite color. I wonder what different response in my visual color processing circuits produces this differential affect? Brains are amazing, don't you think?

Zona: We're back in Palm Springs Oct 1 for several days. Hoping for some decent weather, since its been so bad here in San Francisco most of the summer!

Morning Glories!

It is 3:30 am here, woke up with a hot flash and felt like I was suffocating. I went outside and the thermometer say 59 degrees and it is raining and muggy. Weird weird weather.

PS I write with any pen,pencil or crayon that is handy.
