Umm, LV 101.

There are 3 primary colors - Red, Blue and Yellow.

Green is made by mixing Blue and Yellow, and is not a primary colour. Orange is made by combining Red and Yellow, and is also not a primary. Its complementary colour would mainly be comprised of Blue, but mixed with yellow.

Now, I did get my term wrong "complementary" ,,,,,,,, I should have said analogous. Green and Orange are both analogous (mixed from primary colors) and complementary. Green & purple (red & blue) are complementary colors. Orange and Aqua (blue and yellow) are complementary colours.

Sorry for the mistake. I am a painter, but also get terms mixed, and it makes me crazy. Sorry.

Blue is considered a colour of healing by indigenous people in my part of the world. It kinda fits in with this.

Also, I remember learning years ago, that green is a restful colour. I know that is one way to find peace - lying on the grass, looking up into the sea of green that is a maple tree in summer. ;)

It's kinda surprising that all this is 'new'. The thing about red (and as the main component of orange as one of its complementary colours, perhaps orange as well) can be an agitating colour - that's another thing that I learned as a young'un. Actually, I do love red as well, true red. But once it is tinged with yellow, hmm, it is not as pleasing to my eye. Orange, for me, is dischordant.

very interesting, thanks!

Officer Wilson not indicted in killing of Michael Brown
by Simon in

after a thorough investigation and weighing of the evidence the grand jury has decided not to indict the officer.. the reaction so far seems as predicted - people refuse to accept that the result represents justice despite claims that is what they wanted.. there is now violence and vandalism, including gunshots.

let's hope the police contain the troublemakers.. .

Hmm, I shall have to catch Jon Stewart online tomorrow, and get a *real* news update.

(I don't have TV, just reading the comments here about different networks. Hey, we all know that sometimes they 'make up' the news, right? Don't make me tell that old story about Boots & Coots again! Also, a bit of levity never hurts.)

To the OP.

I agree, and so happy I don't have to listen to that drivel anymore. NOT being in contact with the JWS is such a relief!

Every disaster is a 'sign of the times' - it's like entering a Twilight Zone - they are repeating the same thing from when I was a child.

Stay strong, and try to keep your sense of humour.

I just placed a hold on that at the Library - I am 7th in line. Thanks again.

Other books I have read by exJWs are Tony DuShane's "Confessions of a Teenage Jesus Jerk", an auto-biographical fiction, which is both hilarious and touching, and Brianna Karp's "The Girl's Guide to Homelessness", which is a nonfiction memoir and also an awesome book.

Looking forward to reading this one. :))

I would love to see Mount Shasta, have heard so much about it! When I visited CA, we couldn't travel north because of mudslides. That is somewhere I will visit again, for sure. It felt like home. Even my accent fits in, or so I was told. :))

I thought that was common knowledge. But then, again, I forget how many people choose ignorance.

In the extra-biblical Book of Jasher, it was the animals who formed a protective ring around the ark once it was loaded. The people wanted to break into the ark, but the lions and other predators prevented them. Yet they, themselves, would later die in the flood. I'd always wondered how Noah kept the people away once the ship was complete and loaded. It's a plausible account, I think.

Oh, that's a much more loving picture of the Flood story. Desperate people clawing at the Ark, holding their infants above water as they slowly drown... of course, they are already weakend by the savagery of the lioness who attacked them ...
