It's going to be a lucky weekend! I had ham in my "scattered, smothered" at lunch and didn't even order it chunked!

I am on the last day of my vacation and a,m, enjoying "doctor enduced" light trails--wooohooooo. Eye appointment with pupil dialation. The doctor was in his 30's and knew immediately, dispite my disquise that I was in my 50's when my head went in that brace gizmo and the light was panning across my eyeball and I asked him to go slower...followed by lots of ooohhsss and ahhhhhs.

True, Mis, it sounds petty. I am still getting one so I shouldn't *****. Technically it is a bonus, but really it's just the nebulous part of our salary that we receive depending on how well, poor or average the year went.

Re: tailgating-I'd usually have to run laps! Like I said, at least the kid will be there so the beer temptation will be held in check.

When I got my eyes checked last month they had a new computer/camera thingy which was offered as an alternative to the dialation. The Optometrist says it gives a far wider, clearer and detailed picture of the innards of the eye plus you don't need to get dialated. The next time around you ought to check it out.

The damn glaucoma test gets me every time. The first little blast blows my head back 3' from the brace. Eye stuff just bothers me.

Puff test was o.k. I have to have the pupils dialated because of surgery for a pre-retinal tear....

The Edward Hopper exhibit was stupendous! What a great painter.

The Swede 09-22-2007 06:55 PM

Wonder why he painted people, (mainly women) sitting... or waiting?

Dee8go 09-22-2007 06:56 PM

His wife, Jo, was his main model. Maybe she got tired of standing.

The Swede 09-22-2007 06:58 PM

Getting a little ahead of ourselves, aren't we? :)

Wishful thinking . . .

It can be whatever day you want it too be. Pretending it's Friday will enhance your mood and kicks in dem endorfines making you feel special.

*** "TA! DA! 'Tis Friday..." ***
 
Today...typing this...will hit the sack (spending the night in a "SLEEP INN" in Eau Claire) when it gets posted...will finish replacing the deck on my trailer and re-attach the lighting...the trailer will be in the OKTOBERFEST PARADE, in La Crosse, tomorrow (Saturday) morning...

I've bought over $235.00 of candy to throw to the parade attendees along the route...

I'm actually sick of the smell of that stuff...never thought I'd EVER say that in my life...

Oh well, better to be sick of the smell than sick from eating it!

:P
