Dementia Quiz

This is too good to not pass on....

Dementia Quiz:

First question:

You are a participant in a race. You overtake the second person. What position are you in?

-------------------------------------------------

If you answered that you are first, then you are absolutely wrong if you overtake the second person and you take his place, you are in second place!

Try to do better next time. Now answer the second question, but don't take a smuch time as you took for the first question, ok?

Second question

If you overtake the last person, then you are...?

----------------------------------------------------------------------

If you answered that you are second to last, then you are .....wrong again! Tell me sunshine, how can you overake the last person?

Third question

Very tricky arithmetic.
Note: This must be done in your head only. Do not use paper and pencil ar a calulator. Try it.

Take 1000 and add 40 to it. Now add another 1000 and add 30 add another 1000. Now add 20. Now add another 1000. Now add 10. What is the total?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Did you get 5000?

The correct answer is actually 4100....

It is definitely not your day, is it?
Maybe you get the last question right...maybe....

Fourth question

Mary's father has five daughters: 1. Nana 2. Nene 3 Nini 4. Nono and?????

What is the name of the fifth daughter?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Did you answer Nunu? NO!!!!!!
Of curse it is not! Her name is MARY. Read the question again!!

Okay, now the bonus round

A final chance to redeem yourself!

A mute person goes into a shop and wants to buy a toothbrush. By imitating the action of brusching the teeth he successfully expresses himself to the shopkeeper and the purchase is done. Next, a blind man comes into the shop who wants to buy a pair of sunglasses. How does he indicate what he wants?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's really very simple...he opens his mouth and asks for it....

Does your employer actually pay you to think?????

Have a nice day, sunshine...see you on the short yellow bus!!!

Update on Popcorn

Popcorn is doing great. He got neutered with 5 months old in October and was a bit whiny in the evening when we got him home but just playful and his old self the next morning. He never licked or bit his incision so all was good.

I tried to trim his nails with a dremel (I use it for the boxers) but Popcorn was still to freaked out by the sound of it so I just cut his nails. But yesterday I tried to trim his nails again and he was fine with it! He did not love it and was kind of avoiding me in sitting up and pushing his weight against me, looking into the other direction but let me do my thing! He got a big belly rub afterwards!

This night he threw up or pooped in his cage so he needed to get a bath before 6 a.m. already and he was fine getting a bath, too! The last time he got a bath (in the summer) in the sink down in the utility room he was quite squirmy and tried to jump out of the sink but today he even sat down in the kid's bath tub and just let me do my thing. He was soo good! And now he's all shiny and good smelly and the fur is so soft and fluffy...got to love it! What a good 6 months old boy! Oh, and he's potty trained since 4 months old so all is good....

PS: At his neuter appointment he weighted in a whooping 20 pounds! Even Bobo was only weighting 16 pounds! Wuckel is for sure a big and heavy boy!

Miracles pictures

Miracles Therapeutic Riding is the organization of Chris Griffith, for whom I ride the Fjord Vanna for. They had trick or treating on horseback on Saturday before Halloween and I got to get some pictures from the newspaper site. The Broomfield Enterprise even featured them on the front page on the Wednesday issue!
