Latest Food Experience

Ipad order system

My daughter L was telling me about a new food experience at a Sushi Bar. She was able to order from their Ipad menu on their provided Ipads!  Then the order is brought out to you.  Well, she thought it was neat, but I think I prefer to have someone else taking my order for now!  It's kind of like checking your own food out at the grocery store I would imagine.

I had my annual eye exam with the opthalmologist yesterday.  The small cataract in my right eye is stable and he says not  to worry, I may never need surgery and if I do, it's nothing to be afraid of.  I love the confident, competent manner of some of these surgeons, puts me right at ease!  He also did an eye pressure (glaucoma) test which went fine.  He has started colouring his hair now, he is middle-aged.  I've been going there for 15 years now.

His assistant was chatting about ever present smartphones nowadays.  She must be nearing retirement.  My old Blackberry had gone 'ping', likely K sending me a text.  We lamented that it's hard for older adults to keep up with these devices and it's so easy for the kids.  Her husband had downloaded his Facebook friends list or something to his new Samsung Galaxy phone and subsequently lost a whole bunch of contacts on Facebook itself.  I think that's what she was saying.  Then her daughter managed to recover everything.

I went back to the waiting room and decided to tell a caregiver that her coat had the buttons misaligned.  Earlier on she had brought a much older man in using his walker and I had noticed something amiss with her wardrobe.  At first I thought it was the style but then ...

This is a cute test if you are in the mood to try one!  I scored 6 out of 11 but my friend says I'm smarter than that, that I must have been rushing!

How Smart Are You?
