I’m still here, a little foggy in the early AM.
Following you with the Spicus group, haven’t been on internet over the weekend. Volunteering a lot.  But back now.
How’s it going?

I am waiting for a reply to the question of ORANGE, this site’s theme, from a friend in Netherlands, and I will be back to this site.

I read an article about Orange
http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_(colour)#Etymology_of_orange
The colour is named after the orange fruit, introduced to Europe via the Sanskrit word nāranja. Before this was introduced to the English-speaking world, the colour was referred to (in Old English) as geoluhread, which translates into Modern English as yellow-red.

I also wonder why they call the colour orange, orange? Why not yellow-red?

Luck? I don’t know anything about luck. I’ve never banked on it, and I’m afraid of people who do. Luck to me is something else: Hard work—and realizing what is opportunity and what isn’t.

You say that I state the obvious, but you state the unknown. Orange you being premature?

Vine, is not a “sir”.  Don’t mind him, vine. Too much Kudzu julep.

Oh, Lord! I knew that. Just forgot. There must have been a paroxysm going on in head.
