Alzheimer Color Test
Sep. 12th, 2009 01:27 amThis one is freakin' hard!
More difficult than you might think!
Color Test These are the things we're supposed to do to remove the cholesterol around our brain and try to slow up Alzheimer's Disease... It took me 2 times before I could finally tell this brain of mine to concentrate. A great test, do it until you get 100%!
Bet you can't get 100% on the first try! But I'm rootin' for ya....
This is pretty neat! See how you do with the colors! Have fun!
It takes an average of 5 tries to get to 100%. Follow the directions!
It's harder than it seems, as it should be!
A brain waker-upper for today!

Nov. 14th, 2008 01:15 am Got this one from cnewsonsmith and attack_laurel
1. My uncle once:
Sold his farm and took up flower gardening for his retirement activity.
2. Never in my life:
Will I be able to accomplish everything on my wish list even if I were to win the lottery.
3. When I was five:
I asked for a baby brother and got the first of two sisters instead. I've become reconciled to this.
4. High school was:
Frankly, at the time it seemed endless.
5. I will never forget:
How Leofwyna has supported me doing the rough times this last five years.
6. Once I met:.
David Ogden Stiers, my boss sent me to pick him up at the airport
7. There’s this girl I know:
There's a couple girls in the barony I know; both are quite impressive each in her own way.
8. Once, at a bar:
My dad introduced me to sardines. I was very young then and still willing to try something he suggested.
9. By noon, I’m usually:
Getting up and starting my day. No doubt this will change once I find work again.
10. Last night:
I went to moot.
11. If only I had
Steady work; a steady income; and therefore finished paying off the credit cards.:
12. Next time I go to church:
I'd probably be in Kronberg
13. What worries me most:
Is retirement should happen in about fifteen years and I'm not ready for it.
14. When I turn my head left I see:
My telephone, computer tower, speakers and monitor.
15. When I turn my head right I see:
Lots of piles of samples being prepped for more mission quilt tops.
16. You know I’m lying when:
Not that I do that but if I had to for some reason I'd hope you wouldn't know it.
17. What I miss most about the Eighties is:
Working for public television while they were producing Big Bands programs and Trial of Standing Bear.
18. If I were a character in Shakespeare I’d be:
I don't know the characters well enough to answer this
19. I have a hard time understanding:
How the national economy has gotten so screwed up
20. If I ever go back to school:
I'll have become independently wealthy and have the time to properly enjoy it.
