It's a simple blood test, hope all is ok with you. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AfferGorritt 868 Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 Something wrong with my brain! I can see the giraffe, but it sinks INTO the picture rather than stands out. More LSD needed! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If everybody logged in anonymously all the time, no-one would be able to see who anyone else was watching. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 All the best for Friday Compo. Hope you have a good result. I found the Giraffe. Easy Peasy! When the three D fad was around, I got hooked on it, it fascinated me (Dunt tek much), kept me happy for hours. We bought three books at the time from a charity shop and four posters from a street seller down Newquay Cornwall. Every so often I get the books out and still enjoy staring at the images.

MargieH 7,599 Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 To see the 3D image, start with your eyes very close to the picture, then move back gradually, still staring at it. DON'T try to refocus while you're doing it.. At least, that works for me! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,134 Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 Hey Compo, having had the same test, I just hope your doctor don't have big hands !!! Best of luck anyway. Beekay. PS. I did have one test which involved a camera up the back door which also involved little jaws taking a biopsy, the downside was there was ten of them ! (All round the prostate). Was told I wouldn't feel anything but would hear ten loud clicks. Sooooo embarrassing. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I could never get to see what was on those 3D effect pictures. I recall seeing a window display full of them at Athena (just near the entrance to Broadmarsh Centre, opposite Woolies and the Sawyers). Completely unable to see what everyone else said was there. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonab 1,644 Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 Compo, remember that the people carrying out these tests have done them hundreds of times before so any embarrassment is unnecessary. The chances are that it will be BPH - benign prostatic hyperplasia. Even if the other thing, treatment is effective. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DON'T try to refocus while you're doing it.. At least, that works for me! This might help as well... I found it useful in the beginning to.....stare at the picture gently and go into a daze, try not to blink yet, keeping the stare but make your vision blur and the picture all merge into itself. At this stage you might just get the 3D effect appear. If not, just whisper Bo99er it and have a cake instead. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,304 Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 Sometimes, you can try too hard to see the hidden image. As Carni said, just let your vision blur and it should appear like magic! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 Haha, I have just been looking at my 3D books and realised that you can blink, so long as you keep the blur going. Oh what a busy life I lead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
