Thank you, Kellibelli, I think they’re kinda cool myself, most of the time. 🙂 Except when I’m upset and don’t want anyone to know, or something like that. Everyone says that our kids have my eyes, but their’s don’t change color the way mine do. Go figure. It’s nice to know that I’m not the only one with changing eyes, I’ve often wondered about that. * * * To dream of the person you would like to be is to waste the person you are.—Anon. ---

when my cat was younger his eyes were blue around the pupil while the rest was green. what was neat about them was that the happier he got, the further the blue would spread out. * * * “If anybody wants a sheep, that is proof that he exists.” ---

I’ve got a 3-yr-old daughter with very interesting eyes. They’re blue, but for the first year or so the bottom half of her right eye was green. Now the bottom half has turned this weird shade of red, sort of like rust or something. I’ve never seen anything like it. People comment on it all the time. ---

I knew a lady with bright green eyes. (Green eyes are all over threads around here.) Most fascinating eyes I’ve ever seen. I have blue eyes. One girlfriend mentioned the eye color changing thing. I never have confirmed if my eyes change color. An actress Meg (Can’t think of her last name right now - friggin memory problem) has some of the most noticable eyes. They are pale blue, and always grab my attention. She was once in a movie where the bad guys were identifiable by their eyes, but I kept seeing her eyes as unusual and getting thrown off. (Recently she was on Xena as Hera.) A couple weeks ago I had my eyes examined, and got them dilated in the process. I looked possessed. Very freaky, having wide open pupils. Iris looks solid black.
