That was a pleasing colour. Then there was my little brother'c coat, "gentleman's relish".

You never realise how important a pair of grey shoes are until you have them. Thankfully, Clarks last forever.<br /><br />@Bibi<br />Hon, my fat is lined with fat! <br />I'm a great example of why you shouldn't do distance running to lose weight...it won't work. I feel bad for the people that take up running at New Years thinking they'll get thin.<br /><br />I've said it before-pharmacists are the people you go to with questions-not doctors. That's kind of you to help people out-I'm sure it is greatly appreciated. I developed gestational diabetes when I was pregnant (common in old mothers, I'm told) and it was a major hassle checking my blood so often and adjusting the insulin. I rarely got much helpful advice from the doctor, but the local pharmacist was great. <br /><br />@Mim<br />That's a great tip about tying the toe in a knot. Thanks!<br /><br />@Miss Magpie<br />My sister never kept a scale at her house. I think that was probably the wisest decision she ever made. <br /><br />@Ann<br />As kids, we used to joke that the family car (a dull, pale yellow with grey undertones) was, "phlegm" coloured. That might be a tough sell for Pantone though.<br />Goodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17383404429461423998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-48666540577478583602017-01-25T07:34:42.558-08:002017-01-25T07:34:42.558-08:00From the pictures, I'd say the skirt is grey, ...From the pictures, I'd say the skirt is grey, but then again it could be brown. I know, I'm no help here. It's one of my colour issues. I'm having problems with black and blue too, and - most famously - with certain greens and blues, but I don't think it's age related. Over time, I've become very adept in hiding my "ignorance" and call things greyish brown or something. Maybe we should go for nondescript colour names like greige and taupe, as pointed out by Bibi? xxxPolyester Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05602613792584925087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-91150676650430987002017-01-25T07:17:34.141-08:002017-01-25T07:17:34.141-08:00Looks grey to me too.

Then, I can never tell my navy tights from my black ones till I get out of the house, so I've taken to tying a knot in the foot of the navy ones so I can identify them while dressing. Still managed to go to work in a black skirt and navy tights last week, though.Mimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578612522819952936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-69778118444408169992017-01-24T21:34:06.777-08:002017-01-24T21:34:06.777-08:00That shade is the very hip & on trend Fall Win...That shade is the very hip & on trend Fall Winter color "greige." Yup, Bobbi Brown did an entire Winter collection around it 2 yrs ago & it's still going strong. <br />The fat-o-meter runs a mild current through your 'mass' determining what % is fat (supposedly). Unfortunately it really doesn't take into account that your entire nervous system is lined in fat. I wonder if the US will ever get over it's fatphobia, especially now that studies are showing carbs are far more damaging?Bibi Maizoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07383381158640915162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-73861668150974010522017-01-24T21:24:51.112-08:002017-01-24T21:24:51.112-08:00The skirt is "greige."

Bye bye taupe!<br />No mechanized anything at our local pharmacies. In fact they're 'open air' with a sort of garage door front. <br />I suggested a random blood glucose and BP check at our local eye specialty clinic down the street. (We have a lot of undiagnosed diabetics & kidney failure due to uncontrolled hypertension.) Now I've been designated the local glucometer expert with random folks coming to my door asking me to teach them how to run a glucometer.Bibi Maizoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07383381158640915162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-8866226847480687872017-01-24T16:38:14.796-08:002017-01-24T16:38:14.796-08:00Well I'm a sucker for monocramaric looks.
