[b]Today's Question(s):
Inspired by a suggestion from one of our QOTD family

Do any of your family or friends have Color Blindness ? No.

Do they have more trouble telling the difference between certain colors than others ?

Do they use any "tricks" or methods to tell the difference in colors ?

Interesting fact:
About 1 in 10 men have some form of color blindness. Very few women are color blind.
Often, the symptoms may be so mild that some persons do not know they are color blind. Interesting info.

In honor of Driver license day

When you took your driving test did you take the "road test"

Which part of the "road test" did you dread the most ? Keeping w/in the speed limit...

Do you like the picture on your license ? Is that really me??????

In honor of Financial Awareness Day

Good evening all! Tried to get the QOTD done earlier, but I was I've been running around all day and just settled down for a bit...

Today's Question(s):
Inspired by a suggestion from one of our QOTD family

Do any of your family or friends have Color Blindness ?
Nobody that I know...

Do they have more trouble telling the difference between certain colors than others ?

Do they use any "tricks" or methods to tell the difference in colors ?

Interesting fact:
About 1 in 10 men have some form of color blindness. Very few women are color blind.
Often, the symptoms may be so mild that some persons do not know they are color blind.

Inquiring Minds Question:

What are your plans for this weekend ?
Well, I had to run around and do errands all afternoon. Then I took a long motorcycle ride (90 miles) to unwind and to check out a new house being framed in the neighborhood we've been looking at.

Are there any you would like to "trade in" ?
Well, I do have to log some time in the office tomorrow, so I wouldn't mind trading that for some R&R.


Extra Credit Question:
In honor of Driver license day

When you took your driving test did you take the "road test"
On a closed course ?
Out on the main roads ?
It was on the regular roads.

Which part of the "road test" did you dread the most ?
Taking it in a car I had never driven before. I had practiced in my brothers Gran Torino before the test. When I arrived to take the test, the insurance card was expired, so I couldn't use that car. So we raced home and got my Dad's big land yacht. He drove so we could get back in the allotted time extension we were given. The first time I sat behind the wheel was with the examiner right next to me. But, it all went well and I passed with flying colors..

Do you like the picture on your license ?
Sure, no worries!

Bonus Question:
In honor of Financial Awareness Day

Who handles the finances in your home ?
I do.

Do the other folks in your home have any idea whats going on with them ?
Funny, we had just talked about this very subject over dinner last week. I make the DW come check out "the books" every so often just so she has a clue of where things are.

Just for Fun:

Do you have to enter a password to log into your home computer ?
No

Are you ticklish ?
Yes

Have you ever played Wiffle Ball ?
Yes


Today is:
National Creamsicle Day Good stuff!
Wiffle Ball Day We also used to beat on each other with the Wiffle bat!
National Financial Awareness Day I am aware that I can use more finances!
Alfred Hitchcock Day Love his movies
Driving License Test Day One more kid to go through this and then no more driving instructions in my lifetime!
