Of course! But I don't believe in soul-mates themselves. What if mine is in Germany he and dies young? I die alone? I believe in 'souls in sync'. Which is probably why some women can't choose between two in some situation. Or men in the same predicament.
Do you believe everything works out n the end?

According to some clever folk on line, the primary colours got their names from the old High German, many, many moons ago, in the days when the Germanic Anglo-Saxon tribes were semi-barbaric and did not have writing... so it could actually have been in the last couple of years... Thus no record survives of how these colours got their names or who named them so I'm not entirely sure how they came to that conclusion in the first place (??)
Apparently then, some English Chap called Sir Roseart Crayola, decided to name the 7 colours of the rainbow after 7 of his friends. But then, this is only for the colours in English, and only covers 7 of them, so I looked at a few more websites and learn't this... Of the secondary colors, Green comes from the Old English word Growan, "to grow"; Orange comes from the Sanskrit word Narange, which is the word for the orange tree; Purple is from the Latin word Purpura, which refers to the fantastically expensive phoenician purple dye. But, no one actually knows who came up with these names.
And just for the record, Mr Dreamcatcher... I have spent the better part of the afternoon digging through my paint tubes looking at some of the ridiculous names and I'm curious to know what the was being smoked, or drunk, or both perhaps, when some bright spark came up with the colour name "Ivory Black".
What should I cook for Supper tonight?
