The Eyes Have It



I think I'm going blind. Well, not blind exactly but with advancing age my eyesight is failing. I told my wife and she said I should go the the optometrist. She's pretty smart, eh? Like the brightest pupil in class.

So before things go too far, and I make a spectacle of myself, I'd best make that appointment.

I'm noticing things like seeing the television much better with my glasses off than on. That's not right. I'm sure iris-k severe eye strain.

I notice, too, when I'm driving my vision is blurry. That's not good. Driving like that lense itself to having an accident.

I'm fine with things close up. Like books. I have no problem at all when I'm reading or on the computer. Or clipping my nails or picking my teeth. When properly framed, things are fine.

And I test myself from time just to make sure. (Boy, that's gotta be the worst one, huh? i-test? hahaha)

But I'm not alone when it comes to certain concerns related to aging.

The other day Mrs D was bemoaning the fact she was growing old. Of course, for me, Mrs D is as lovely today as the day I met her. And I said to her, "Honey, you just get more beautiful everyday."

Oh, sure, thanks" she says, "this from a guy who says he's going blind!"

That Mrs D. She's so damn observant. Well, I tried. I'm phoning the eye doctor today.

This post was pretty cornea?

I've got a ton of great words to use as puns but once again, can't figure out how to use them. Instead of trying, I'm just going to say this: "Huzzah! Your mojo is back!"
Debra She Who Seeks said…
Clearly, your punning ability is still 20/20!
nonamedufus said…
Well, actually no. I'm losing my sight, eh? (Yeah, I saw.)
nonamedufus said…
I'm going blind and all you wanna do is make jokes?
nonamedufus said…
Ha ha, good one Debra. It was off the (eye) chart!
nonamedufus said…

This piece offers great insight into your comedic vision, o punny man.


Groan.:-)
nonamedufus said…
Not really, Babs. Outta sight, outta mind.
nonamedufus said…
Put a lid on it, Nicky. I wouldn't want to lash out at you. Heh, heh, heh.
Barb said…
Too cute! As for me, my arms are no longer long enough, hence the reading glasses.Getting older is a bitch!
meleahrebeccah said…
I can't believe HOW MANY puns you were able to insert here. You are HILARIOUS!!

And don't feel old! If it makes you feel any better I have to wear contact lenses all the time AND reading glasses at the same time - if I attempt to use my computer or read a book!
nonamedufus said…
That's like when I first got glasses. My arms weren't long enough to read the TV Guide!
nonamedufus said…
Oh, man, is that what I have to look forward to? Poor you.
meleahrebeccah said…
Probably not! I've had problems with my eyesight since I was nine years old!
nonamedufus said…
Oh, geez, is there any illness you haven't experienced?
meleahrebeccah said…
I don't really consider eyesight issues an illness. More like bad genetics.
nonamedufus said…
That's true, you're the expert!

Hi there! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog.
Is it hard to set up your own blog? I'm not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast. I'm thinking about making my own but I'm not sure where to begin. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? With thanks

The Polka Dot Door

A long time ago, when I was 22, my first child was born.  That kid grew up on a little Canadian kid's show called Polka Dot Door, produced by the TV Ontario network.  And Dad, more often than not, sat through those shows with his little one. Nine or so years later when a brother, and a year after that when a sister came along number one son was moving on to Knight Rider and The Dukes of Hazzard.  But there was a nice overlap where his siblings picked up where he had left off with Polka Dot Door.  And Dad was right there to welcome them. So you're looking at a Polka Dot Door veteran.  The show began in 1971 and ran to 1993.  I didn't watch the full run but I did get in my fair share.  The formula was pretty simple.  A young male and female host, which seemed to change every week, sang songs, told stories, made crafts and generally did their best stimulate little brains.  The show opened as follows... Imagination Day!  Oh boy!  You know what happens on Imagination D
