[nfbmi-talk] Colors Question

[Larry D. Keeler]

Hey Terri, I think I have gold shirts!  I never really cared about color 
except when I go out except for when I dress up.  Of course, I have Carol to 
catch me before I go out looking goofy!  She just says, "Are you going out 
like that!:.  Usually I turn around and change but not always!  Also, I use 
several sweaters, T-shirts and the like that I just know what color threy 
are.  Sence I usually like black or blue jeans, I usually don't have much 
trouble matching.  I usually like black dress pants as well.  For nice 
occassions, I have black dress shoes but otherwise, its tennis shoes, crocs, 
sandals or now, boots.  I ton't care if the latter match because I figure if 
i'm wearing them, they'll get dirty anyway!  With the shirts, some have 
writing on them and I can tell what they are.
