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?

Despite my well-known adversity to puns, I thought this was blinking brilliant, Doof! An im-macula piece of work. Roth

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…
I hope you didn't hurt yourself.

Nicky 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! ...

Hello Goodbye

Today a bit of a reflective piece. Rather than being funny, this is  about the funny. It's a day of mixed emotion at nonamedufus . You see, after several months of inactivity I've dropped a couple of former blogger buddies off my blog roll. I kept hanging on and hanging on hoping they'd return to active blogging but, alas, after waiting in one case five months I've decided to let them go. I'm going to miss - going to? I have been missing - Margo at the Screaming Me-Me . She was one funny lady. From time to time she and I would engage in a feud or two for several days at a time but it was all in fun both for us and, I think, for our readers. And we'd leave each other funny comments, poking fun at each other. I miss her friendship and our humorous exchanges. The other blogger I'm letting go is Chelle, The Offended Blogger . Chelle was a special lady. In addition to her own blog she created and managed Humor Bloggers Dot Com where humour bloggers like m...

The Dangling Conversation

There's a debate underway in my household between my wife and I. I say "underway" because it hasn't quite reached the "raging" stage. If you want raging, my wife (a Francophone) and I (an Anglophone) from time to time (usually in a weak moment of my own making) slip into our number one discussion around why we don't speak more French at home - ergo - when am I, a former public servant who learned French at the expense of our gracious taxpayers and was technically rated bilingual (even though I hardly used it), going to improve my use of Canada's other language? This one never gets resolved, hence it's ongoing nature. But the current debate is over a remark I casually made the other day. I'm no geek, but with a lot of time on my hands I surf the web, converse on Facebook and such and - I have to admit - "I'm nonamedufus and I'm a Twitterholic". In an epiphany-like moment I was struck by the apparent impact of social networkin...
