**FH** , yeah that was for drooping lids, and yes, it did help. My field of vision is much better and one can actually see the whole eye now. I have mixed emotions about that surgery though… After they did it, and I went for an eye exam, I got told I have macular degeneration (both wet and dry), and I thought to myself, “WTF??? If I’d known that, I wouldn’t have needed to have the eyelid surgery!” Kismet. Gotta love it! 🙂 Q ---

I forgot to say merry Christmas, one and all, and especially you, **Quasi**. I asked a boy named Billy Craig to my senior prom. He turned me down. I won’t hold it against you. ---

**Alice** , There’s another Bill Craig here in Carrollton. He was 2 years behind me in high school in Villa Rica, but our lives parallel like you wouldn’t believe: 1.Went to the same school 1. Went to the same college 2. Worked in broadcasting 3. Played drums in rock bands 4. Today we vote at the same precinct and… 5. Pick up each other’s clothes at the dry cleaners Thanks for not holding that other guy’s mistake against me! 🙂 Q ---

Thanks for the card Quasi. I sent you a PM, but it pretty much said “Thanks for the card”, and that I’d try to catch you on the board tonight. Which I did. This is like the first thing I’ve gotten done on time this year! ---

Thanks, **not what you’d expect**! At least we won’t have to worry about that damn Mayan calendar next year! 🙂 I was wondering how they accounted for the time differences everywhere anyway.🙂 Happy holidays, **nwye**! Q ---

Hey there Quasi! I know \*\*Rhiannon8404 \*\*already passed along our best wishes, but I wanted to say hi myself. Glad to see you’re still playing WoW…how’s Wolkie doing these days? I had to drop my subscription…I just don’t have enough time to play to justify the money every month. But I expect to see you one day when I get back there! ---

Hey **Suburban Plankton**! Thanks for saying hello. Da **Wolk’** is level 87 at present and **Mister Rik** is coaching me in farming and the Pandarian Cuisine. When I’m not playing him, I’ve rolled a Rogue I call **Waldteufel** (“Forest Devil”) and I’m having a lot of fun with him. Just waiting to see how he’s gonna pick pockets!🙂 Anyway, looking forward to seeing you ingame sometime. Pandaria sure has some beautiful scenery! All the best to you and the family, my friend! Q ---

Shhhhhh! [whisper] Okay, looks like things have gotten quiet and all the Doper kiddies are snuggled up in their beddies waiting on Santa, so I’m gonna sneak outta here for now, and check back in, in a couple of hours.[/whisper].😉 Quasi ---

It is a ray of joy to see you posting, **Quasi**! Here in Sydney it is about the peak of summer, but we had rain and cold :eek: Oh, and thunder. We usually go for a midnight swim Xmas, but too chilly tonight. We had a lovely, quiet, argument-free day. Oh, and too much food. Our Xmas day tradition is that everyone gets to pick a favourite food - to hell with balanced meals. Dad wants fresh prawns and garlic aoli. M’husband wants pavlova. MIL wants ham and fresh cherries. M’daughter wants pate and salami (oh, and chocolate)… you get the idea - Celebrate today for tomorrow we diet. Well, actually, tomorrow we see The Hobbit, but the principal is there 🙂 . Hope you and Dondra had a lovely day. ---
