okay, give up the secret code, Starr!

pink
not pink
lavender
not blue, but indigo
this is blue
and this is navy
boring green
and lime green
and it's still trial and error
Oh! That worked. That was dark green and this is gold.

Mommmm! Starrsville won't tell us how to make colorrrsssss!

<r>red</r> ?

LOL!

<nameofcolor> word <nameofnewcolor> nextword

We discovered the basic color names. Until JAGIRL's question, I didn't realize there were more options.

I am experimenting. Some color names work. Some don't.

red orange plum lavender
blue teal navy
green lime dark green <brightgreen> I don't think bright green works turquoise

Hey guys, people are still posting on this thread, and I think a lot of people have benefited from it, so maybe you could start a different thread to experiment with your coloring?

kswl, that is an amazing story, even worse than my husband's! So there you go, not having a passport could mean the nobel prize. You never know. I think everyone should have a passport, and not an expired one.

I suspect we are not the only ones with travel-challenged spouses. I am sure there are wives out there who are travel-challenged and whose spouses suffer through the bad times w/them like this. And I bet your son learned a valuable lesson too.

emd - Congratulations on your success! I'm so relieved for you. It's a lesson for not only your husband but your son.

It appears that this thread is getting hijacked with others' discussions...too distracting.

Yes ma'ams. I am sorry. (Just got carried away). No more colors or hijacking.

That is interesting The Weasel. It has been so long since I obtained my SS card I can't remember what I had to provide. Just out of curiosity I am going to check with my daughter regarding her sons replaced sscard etc.
Hopefully he has taken care of that, lol.

LoL! You guys are hilarious with the colors. It's fun, but it takes so long that it is one of those things you won't find yourself doing very often.

Here's the link to the colors I have been using, but there are many other lists online: http://www.web-source.net/216_color_chart.htm

Jagirl ~ yeah, but mine is a prettier shade!!!!! ;-) Just teasing . . .

Sorry, emd. I'll silence my "colors."

You all will get a kick out of this- it is 2:40, we are supposed to leave to take the husband and son to the airport in 5 min., and I just overheard my husband making a B&B reservation on the phone for Monday night in Ireland. And he is still packing.

I'll be glad to wish them a happy trip as I wave goodbye at the airport...(after I make sure he has the passports and tickets!)

God bless you, emd! You must be a saint, or the most patient woman in the world! LoL ;-)

emd, I can see it now, dear husband has his ticket and passport pined to his shirt, lol.

You need to stop either to get a drink or at a spa on the way home from the airport. You are indeed a saint!

Well that should read "pinned", but was posting fast 'cause my DH just walked in the door. Gawd knows I don't want the spelling police after me, lol.

Psst! They are already heading over from the other thread!
