Invited to lunch with an old college friend. Haven't seen him in decades. Want to look good. What color --red, blue, coral, beige, or black--should I w#clothingt#foodieoodie ... See MoreSee Less
Wow... red is in the lead by a lot. I guess I should get rid of any other clothes that aren't red.
Red! But all of those are flattering on you! Have a great time! <3
Red looks good. Blue really makes your eyes pop and your complexion look great. Same with the black. In the color wheel thing…you might be a winter. Forget the coral, beige ..hummm probably pass on that.

The red for sure. But I really do love that coral cable sweater!!
Red.
Coral!!
Red looks great. Have fun.
Have a great time (in any color!)🤗
The blue is lively and very flattering!!
Red, but your dazzling personality will outshine any color! ♥️
I love that coral on you for sure! Have a great time. How exciting!
Agree with RED, but you look great in al of these!
I like the red or beige!
Red
Wow any of those colors look great. But I like the blue with white piping. Looks more upscale
The burgundy for sure! You just look beautiful❤️
You look great in red!
Red or coral
Red for sure!
Red, beige or blue.
I love you in that red Color
Red
Red is definitely one of your colors! ❤️

Dr. Lori is feeling scared in Pennsylvania, USA.

Saw him and screamed. Fox ran, then stopped. Snapped a photo. Last time I walk in the woods for #exercisemotivation. What animal surprised you? ... See MoreSee Less
Encountering a fox in person is a message to listen to the intuitive and creative sides of your nature.
Gators ! In SC they are in every creek or pond or even crossing the interstate I-17 !
Scorpion😬
I am scared of skunks, possums and groundhogs🤣Terrified of snakes too. To be fair , all of the above are probably scared of me too. Fox are pretty to look at , when you are looking through your window:)
There was a foxes den under my neighbors shed. There were 6 kits/pups and Mom. They were fun to watch. Then 1 day they left!
2 elk rutting outside the outhouse i was in. In the Canadian Rockies. Took them close to 30 minutes to decide who won. I hate outhouses. My husband got scared by a black bear and two cubs in the NWT while relieving himself in the woods. Answered the age old question " Does a bear .... in the woods? " answer is most likely, but the person he scares sure does! 🤣😂
I carry a taser.
A skunk🦨😩
Just carry a big stick. I was fishing once caught the ugliest fish I ever saw. But when that sucker walked the rest of the way up. I dropped pole got in my car left pole and all. It was a Mudpuppy Black slimy and 4 legs
No animal has ever scared me! Only people! I did come close to a few black bears in New Hampshire!
Just had 3 turkeys walk through the yard while I was putting the dog out at camp. Dog was just like, ok.
We have them here in Woodbridge and we DONT live in the woods! I believe if you don't bother them they won't bother you. Just be careful.
Lived in the country and had outdoor cats, we fed in the barn, in the dark I went out to fill their feed, our dog kept trying to get in front of me when I got inside, then all of a sudden I heard a growl, the dog went crazy and attacked a huge raccoon eating cat food. Good dog
People
I had a family of foxes that lived on my property for several years. I can remember the babies playing with a fake rubber snake that I left in my garden.
A fox won't hurt you. Just ignore him like he does you! To answer your question, a bear. I was sitting in the sun reading a book at our other house when I see movement out of the corner of my eye and it was a bear walking thru our driveway to the woods behind our house(that we had then). A bear is shocking 😳
I hate woods, trails, hiking, camping. If the animals don’t attack you, the lunatics will. Been there, done that. No thanks!!
Rattle snakes!!!
A bear, oh and snakes
So cute
We have deer ,bear , and everything else imaginable come into our yard. Snakes are my least favorite.
My husband and I were riding our horses in Green Lane Park years ago. It was a Saturday evening and we had the place to ourselves. We rode up over a rise and there was a Bobcat,looking at us. We have foxes and coyotes on our farm,but that was the closest we ever got to a Bobcat.
I held up a raccoon with my taser one time. I said get away from me.
A fisher cat had my neighbors cat pinned to the ground. I distracted it and cat got away. That was one nasty critter !
"They are more scared of you then you are of them" Sure tell that to the giant killer spider climbing up the wall.😄

We share the same weaknesses😁
That's not good! You wear so little. I bought a foundation, which I have never worn. I can't get myself to put it on LOL Figured I'd cover some of the flaws at 70. Don't know if I'll ever open that sucker. LOL 😉 Mom always said, "Always wear lipstick." I do even if I don't leave the house. Moisturizer, always, and some rouge and I'm done. 🙂 It is what it is, but I'm not on camera or a public figure.
Eh, not my thing. I have plenty other obsessions though that sadly don’t make me pretty but are pretty.
If it makes you feel pretty then go for it. Don't let other people define you by telling you should do this or that. Wear makeup to enhance your best features, be it your eyes or lips.
Lol. Well when u see a sale u grab xtra. Ive prob got about 12 brushes. And about 8 dif palettes of eye shadow. And about 6lip gloss and 6 eye liners and 1 mascara. Plus my seint palette makeup. Which is all in one. So i dont have all these eye shadows and lip nd cheek and foundations in dif palettes.
While I totally comprehend the chocolate, the make up I don't wear it never have even if folks think I should I don't want to spend a half hour in a mirror. And you don't need it. How could you possibly use that much makeup. There's expiration dates on it too.
I don't wear makeup regularly; but when I do I have a lot of color options to choose from. It's important to have options. 😉 I'm digging those brushes!!! Good brushes are so important. And as for chocolate... yes please. Just no milk chocolate for me.
We all have our vices. I just love pretty things. I love unusual things. Do what you love to do. We only go around once:)
That reminds me that I need to buy some new brushes
Single people have nice luxuries 👍🏻
True! ♥️

Do they have something about Lefty Verderame there?
We have friends from up in that area! Beautiful town that’s rich in history!!
Congratulations to Dad, his memory and all who loved him 🙂
Any one who is a Baseball fan should try to get to Cooperstown at least once to go through The Baseball Hall of Fame! And you better carve out a day or two as there is soooo much to take in! It has to be the best of the Sports Halls of Fame! And don't forget Cooperstown is the home of James Fenimore Cooper, author of Last of the Mohicans, The Deerslayer and The Leatherstocking Tales
