I guess when you're younger, no one criticizes your color choices? See, this is what I don't get -- there was never a time in like 4th grade when he (generic -- I believe it about your HUSBAND) colored a tree pink instead of green? And by "4th grade" I mean old enough to know better, not like a 3 year old.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Presumably he colored it the same color he saw everyone else coloring it.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Most colorblind people can see some blue--so green looks different than blue. However, green and brown and purple often look similar. I think when you are really little, odd color choices are expected, and by the time you reach 5 or 6, you can identify a lot of colors based on experience and guesswork. You don't know that other kids don't see what you are seeing when you look at a box of crayons, so there's no reason to ask about it. If I tasted "spicy," for example, in a way that is different than everyone else, I'd have no way of knowing that. I'd only know to call that flavor spicy when I encountered it just like everyone else.

The DH, for example, can't tell whether plants are turning brown, as brown looks the same as green to him. I have to tell him if things in the yard are alive or dead.

information libertarian
The only colorblind person I knew was red-green colorblind, and it was funny - some browns looked exactly like some reds, and ditto with greens, but not all reds and greens looked alike. So one day he had red socks on that he thought were brown, but he could tell some colors apart very well.
Not that he could dress himself anyway.

Thanks for the information, everyone. I knew the buffistas would have the answers.

Always Anti-fascist!
Corwood, I did, in fact, enjoy McCabe and Mrs. Miller and definitely see its influence over Deadwood. I was surprised to find myself enjoying Beatty less than McShane, being as how he is a legend and all. Unless he is more legendary for his...off-camera skills. But that McShane Swearingen performance is pretty amazing, of course.

Also, poor McCabe is pretty, well, dim. Mrs. Miller is more the Swearingen in that outfit. I always like the snarky better than the merely attractive.
