Title: Color Blind or Old Age
Post by: Wilma on October 31, 2012, 09:17:46 AM
I have a long handle dust pan.  One of those that you don't have to bend over to pick up the sweepings.  This morning I needed it.  I could not find it.  I looked the entire house over, behind all the doors at least twice and still could not find it.  Finally, I decided to try one more time in the spot where it is supposed to be, hanging on a nail in the utility room.  There it was, in plain siight.  The problem was that I was looking for a yellow dust pan.  This dust pan is green.  Is that color blind or old age?

Wilma,
It might be that Janet couldn't find your broom to take for a spin so she was riding the long handled dust pan, when you were looking for it  (I probably just signed my death warrant !! ) ;D :angel:

Color blindness means that you would have trouble seeing red, green, or blue or a mix of these colors. 
And then again, it could be age-related macular degeneration.

You haven't been hanging around Jarhead's bunker, have you?  If so, that would probably explain it.  ;D :angel:

Warph,
No wine left in my bunker---Jo McD and her sister, my Aunt Helen, were here a couple weeks go----now all I have left in the bunker is two cases of empty bottles with drinking straws sticking out of them

Warph, I have had cataract surgery, a vitrectomy and have macular degeneration, but I can still tell yellow from green.  This has to have something to do with the brain.  I have a small garden cart on wheels.  Whenever I would send someone to get it for me, I would tell them, "The blue cart on wheels" and tell them exactly where to find it.  They would come back without it and tell me that they couldn't find a blue cart.  I would then go to the spot where I had sent them and there it was, a green cart on wheels.

Wilma... I have a solution.  Go buy a blue garden cart and then sell the green one to jarhead and that should take care of your problem.  That way he can haul off those empty bottles that Jo and her sister left in his buker after drinking that awful devils brew.  Boy, that took guts slurping that stuff down. 

BTW... I'm somewhat surprised he's still alive after that crack he made about Janet and the dust pan.  I can see it now... payback... payback!  On second thought You'd better sell it today because ol' Jar might not be around tomorrow.   :laugh: :laugh:

Wilma -

I think you have my "disease" - verbal dyslexia!  :D

I mix up orange and green frequently and have been known to twist other words around.  I gave up a long time ago and just call it verbal dyslexia.   ;)  ::)   :D

Wilma, I think you just have some very normal short term memory loss. You just forgot the correct color of the cart and the dust pan. We all know that some men can look right at something and not see it...like a jacket in a closet .I don't know what their excuse is. HA!

Verbal dyslexia.  Is that why I go through the names of all my grandchildren before I find the right one?

Wilma, That is why George Foreman named all 5 of his sons, George. Can't go wrong that way.
