An optical effect called Tyndall scattering explains blue eyes. Distant objects appear more blue because of another optical effect called aerial perspective.
Blue has been an important colour in art and decoration since ancient times. The semi-precious stone lapis lazuli was used in ancient Egypt for jewellery and ornament and later, in the Renaissance, to make the pigment ultramarine, the most expensive of all pigments. In the eighth century Chinese artists used cobalt blue to colour fine blue and white porcelain. In the Middle Ages, European artists used

Blue
Blue is one of the three primary colours of pigments in painting and traditional colour theory, as well as in the RGB colour model. It lies between violet and green on the spectrum of visible light. The eye perceives blue when observing light with a dominant wavelength between approximately 450 and 495 nanometres. Most blues contain a slight mixture of other colours; azure contains some green, while ultramarine contains some violet. The clear daytime sky and the deep sea appear blue because of an optical effect known as Rayleigh scattering.

A cruise ship is a passenger ship used for pleasure voyages when the voyage itself, the ship's amenities, and sometimes the different destinations along the way (i.e., ports of call), form part of the passengers' experience. Transportation is not the only purpose of cruising, particularly on cruises that return passengers to their originating port (known as "closed-loop cruises").

I love bacon, a type of salt-cured pork. It is so tasty! I eat it a lot, especially in the form of BLT's.
I'm not familiar with BLT, but i thought that bacon came from Wal Mart, not pork.
Oh really? Wow, I didn't know people thought that. A BLT is a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich.
I would have to put extra bacon on a BLT. It seems quite plain. Most of the time i eat ham and cheese sandwiches.
The quantity and quality of the ingredients are a matter of personal preference. I like just the right amount of each, with some mayo on the bread! It's good.
You have taught me something i did not know. I will try your BLT and see if i like the sandwich. I will look for the BLT at Wal Mart.
I don't think you can find it there, you need to make it yourself. Just purchase some bacon, tomatoes, and lettuce, as well as a loaf of bread.

Cheese
Cheese is a dairy product derived from milk that is produced in a wide range of flavors, textures, and forms by coagulation of the milk protein casein. It comprises proteins and fat from milk, usually the milk of cows, buffalo, goats, or sheep. During production, the milk is usually acidified, and adding the enzyme rennet causes coagulation. The solids are separated and pressed into final form. Some cheeses have molds on the rind, the outer layer, or throughout. Most cheeses melt at cooking

Guitar
The guitar is a fretted musical instrument that usually has six strings. It is typically played with both hands by strumming or plucking the strings with either a guitar pick or the finger(s)/fingernails of one hand, while simultaneously fretting (pressing the strings against the frets) with the fingers of the other hand. The sound of the vibrating strings is projected either acoustically, by means of the hollow chamber of the guitar (for an acoustic guitar), or through an electrical amplifier and a speaker.

I am cluless. Where do I even start?
I'll start with the invention of the sewing machine in the 19th century. Before then it was all about hand sewing but sewing machines have drastically improved the process of sewing.
Are sewing machines expensive to buy? Are they hard to use?
It's not that expensive any more. It may be a hard to use at first but given that it's designed for one person to sew items individually, it is a lot easier to sew than hand sewing.
Is there a particular sewing method that is recommended for a novice like me?
Definitely as a beginner, I would recommend to hand sew with a needle and a thread. It has been done this way for thousands of years before. Once you have more experience, you should move into the sewing machines and maybe even quiliting!
I will take that advice. Any other pointers or hints/techniques?

an ancient history estimated to begin during the Paleolithic Era. Sewing was used to stitch together animal hides for clothing and for shelter. The Inuit, for example, used sinew from caribou for thread and needles made of bone; the indigenous peoples of the American Plains and Canadian Prairies used sophisticated sewing methods to assemble tipi shelters. Sewing was combined with the weaving of plant leaves in Africa to create baskets, such as those made by Zulu weavers, who used thin strips of palm leaf as "thread" to stitch wider strips

My favorite thing to drink is beer. It is so refreshing on a hot day.
I agree - I love going to my local brew pub and drinking one on draught
What is your favorite kind? I like lagers and pilsners myself.
I like stouts and porters a lot as well as IPAs - all were originally brewed in london
Interesting, I didn't know London was the birthplace for beer.
Beer is actually one of the oldest and widely consumed drink in the world - it has been around for many many centuries
Wow, how long ago was beer first brewed?

History of alcoholic drinks
Purposeful production of alcoholic drinks is common and often reflects cultural and religious peculiarities as much as geographical and sociological conditions.
Discovery of late Stone Age jugs suggest that intentionally fermented beverages existed at least as early as the Neolithic period (c. 10000 BC).
Archaeological record.
The ability to metabolize alcohol likely predates humanity with primates eating fermenting fruit.
The world's oldest brewery was discovered in 2018 in a prehistoric burial site in a cave near Haifa in Israel. Researchers have found residue

Because I play a lot like that guy does. My favorite style of drumming is on their records. I definitely model what I do after that.

IPhones run Apple's iOS operating system.
I don't like Apple I prefer android OS.
Variations of Android are used on game consoles, PCs, and other electronics.
What game consoles? I haven't heard of any major ones like that.
A computer is designed for a variety of purposes, including playing video games.
Well yeah, but that's not a game console. It's a little different.
A video game console is a computer device that displays a video game that one or more people can play.
Yeah, but none of them use android they have their own custom OS mostly.

Freckle
Freckles are clusters of concentrated melaninized cells which are most easily visible on people with a fair complexion. Freckles do not have an increased number of the melanin-producing cells, or melanocytes, but instead have melanocytes that overproduce melanin granules (melanosomes) changing the coloration of the outer skin cells (keratinocytes). As such, freckles are different from lentigines and moles, which are caused by accumulation of melanocytes in a small area.
Freckles can appear on all types of skin tones. Of the six Fitzpatrick skin

old things pass away, so on my album I wanted to put some remnants from the past. There are little bits and pieces in the music that some people might recognise have been on other albums before.

History of KFC
KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) was founded by Colonel Harland Sanders, an entrepreneur who began selling fried chicken from his roadside restaurant in Corbin, Kentucky, during the Great Depression. Sanders identified the potential of restaurant franchising, and the first "Kentucky Fried Chicken" franchise opened in Salt Lake City, Utah in 1952. KFC popularized chicken in the fast-food industry, diversifying the market by challenging the established dominance of the hamburger. Branding himself "Colonel Sanders", the founder became a prominent figure
