Today's Question(s):
Inspired by a suggestion from one of our QOTD family
Do any of your family or friends have Color Blindness ?
My Grandpa did.
Do they have more trouble telling the difference between certain colors than others ?
Not sure. When my sisters and I were kids, we would ask him what color things were because he couldn't tell you. Either that or he was teasing us, which is entirely possible, as I'm sure it was pretty annoying on his end.
Do they use any "tricks" or methods to tell the difference in colors ?
Don't know

Today's Question(s): Inspired by a suggestion from one of our QOTD family
Do any of your family or friends have Color Blindness ? I guess you would have to ask them.
Do they have more trouble telling the difference between certain colors than others ? Shouldn't you be asking about us?
Do they use any "tricks" or methods to tell the difference in colors ? I have a good idea. Don't take their suggestions any more.

Today's Question(s):
Inspired by a suggestion from one of our QOTD family
Do any of your family or friends have Color Blindness ?
I have a friend that has total colorblindness. I'm technically color blind.
Do they have more trouble telling the difference between certain colors than others ?
Yes. He's totally colorblind. So he literally sees in shades of gray. And seeing as I'm totally blind, I have a little trouble in that area myself. :P
Do they use any "tricks" or methods to tell the difference in colors ?
I don't know, I never asked him. I can tell the difference between most of my clothes by their texture and braille label the ones I can't.
Interesting fact:
About 1 in 10 men have some form of color blindness. Very few women are color blind.
Often, the symptoms may be so mild that some persons do not know they are color blind.

I have biked down my house street without help, though.

(I shore lined the curb with the bike tires to the intersection.)
Which part of the "road test" did you dread the most ?
I've had a handful of nightmares about being subjected to a driving test.

People tell me I look like a terrorist. Lol.
Bonus Question:

Yes. If I don't force prompt myself, I forget my passwords.

Today's Question(s):
Inspired by a suggestion from one of our QOTD family
Do any of your family or friends have Color Blindness ?
Nope, just out and out bad taste. Comes from too many years of selling golf attire in Florida.
Inquiring Minds Question:
What are your plans for this weekend ?
I'm on a business trip in a town I've been to too many times and hate. So what I'm doing is going to the few places I sort of like and the rest of this weekend I'm planning my vacation. I can't believe I used to tell employers that I'd LOVE to travel for work. A business trip is NOT a vacation!
Extra Credit Question:
In honor of Driver license day
When you took your driving test did you take the "road test"
Out on the main roads, baby. Watch out, here I come!
Which part of the "road test" did you dread the most ?
The part where you ask the instructor if you passed, and he rolls his eyes, and has a look on his face like "I really need a drink"...
Do you like the picture on your license ?
OMG, no! My only consolation is my photo's better than my husband's.
Bonus Question:
In honor of Financial Awareness Day
Who handles the finances in your home ?
We both do.
Do the other folks in your home have any idea whats going on with them ?
[/b]
Do any of your family or friends have Color Blindness ? Only one of my friends (that I know of) is colour blind. For many years, he worked as a steward on long-distance trains... a job that he loved. Then the rail company in its infinite wisdom decide that ALL train employees (even those that served drinks, and made up the beds) had to be free of colour-blindness... just in case they were ever required to check railroad signals. So my friend was transferred to a job in the office... which he absolutely hated. Since he was only a few years short of retirement he stuck it out.
Do they have more trouble telling the difference between certain colors than others ? Red and green.
Do they use any "tricks" or methods to tell the difference in colors ? We've never discussed it... I'll ask him next time I see him!

Inquiring Minds Question:
What are your plans for this weekend ? Well, Downunder, the weekend is already half over! Tomorrow... get the laundry up to date, catch up on emails, maybe get together with/call a few friends.
Are there any you would like to "trade in" ? No, I'm cool with my "To do" list.
Extra Credit Question:
In honor of Driver license day
When you took your driving test did you take the "road test"
On a closed course ? Out on the main roads
Which part of the "road test" did you dread the most ? I don't remember dreading any of it... I wasn't really expecting to pass first time as I'd only had half a dozen lessons.
Do you like the picture on your license ? Amazingly enough, the picture this time around isn't too bad at all... much better than the one in my passport!
