  I can handle being locked outside in bitter cold for two hours.  :snowman:
 

  I wonder how much longer I could have done it.  :orly:

I have perfect pitch so I can always tell when something is out of tune. It's fucked up, to be honest.

I can see double all the time. It isn't really a good thing. Optometrists don't like it.

  So does my sister!  She got stuck helping my father tune the bars for his
  homemade marimbas.  She spent hours(?) listening to notes on the oscillator.  :notes:

Why isn't it good?
If I want to, I can see double at close range, when I want. Not at a distance though.

I can still get one foot behind my head though not as easy as when I was a kid when I could put both back there

Had to try.

No, can't do it any more. I am very stiff and rigid the past weeks, so who knows in a few weeks. But I think my days that I could do that are over.
Could still put the heel on top of my head, but not any further. Maybe I need practicing.

After 45 I have noticed that my flexibility is going down slowly.

Can willingly see double any time or range, am able to cross only one eye, though can't recall the last time doing it. Do the optometrists say it's bad to be able to do it, or bad to do it?

Optometrists want to try and correct it. The one I have been seeing the last few years just gives me prismatic lenses which make it a little bit better. I can't cross my eyes at all.

Seeing double means not being able to see depth. If I go to a 3D movie and wear those special glasses, it just looks like a regular movie to me.

Odeon posted an interesting thread in Elders about someone who got their depth perception back some time ago. It won't happen to me, my left eye is too weak and damaged from surgery as a kid.

So seeing double is default for you?
When you don't see double, is that because you discard the information of one eye, effectively only using one? And if so, do you have one eye that is very dominant?

  My right eye can wander all over the place.  It's turned inward in many photos of me,
  and during my last eye exam, the doctor reported that it was wandering outward as well.
  Luckily, I do have depth perception.  But sometimes my eyes creep people out 'cause
  one will be looking at them and the other will be angled somewhere else.  :trollface:
