Last night I started toward bed at 10:00 pm (too tired to go earlier), but when I took out my left contact, which had felt weird all day and gave me blurry vision, only 3/4ths of it was there. It had torn. I spent over an hour trying to find the rest of it in my eye. My eye was red and irritated, but that could have been from wearing a torn contact for hours and then poking around (clean hands) trying to find the damned thing. (Uh-oh, just swore on Sunday. Stamp my one-way ticket to Hell PAID.) I also checked the whole bathroom. I finally gave up and went to bed. I don’t think it’s in my eye. Where the heck is it? I don’t have a spare because I was hoping to wait to spend the big bucks until May, but I’ll order them tomorrow. **shoe** , thanks so much for posting the photos of our fierce warrior in Nebraska. > [@Baker](#): > > Turns out that tons of people were not weak like me and did protest. No, no, NO. I doubt any of those protesting were in misery made worse by weather. Think of the protestors as representatives. I do! I wanted to clear the capitol step I was sitting on to make room for all those I represented, and you were one of them. You can fight the good fight from home. **BooFae** , I’m impressed that you met the mayor! That officially makes you High Society. I hope you visit us plebeians now and then. Maybe toss a few coppers our way and chuck one of us under the chin. > [@Chefguy](#): > > we finally went downstairs for the Sunday biscuits and gravy. True confession: I’ve never had biscuits and gravy. And while I’m coming clean, I’ve never had chicken fried steak, either. > [@Johnny\_L.A](#): > > > [@Chefguy](#): > > > > She’s yar, to quote an old movie. > > _The Ghost and Mrs. Muir_ (1947). Wasn’t it also in Philadelphia Story? I have a memory of Katherine Hepburn saying it. Wait! Just [found it](https://www.smh.com.au/traveller/inspiration/when-size-matters-20110323-1c6hx.html): > As Katharine Hepburn said of the yacht the True Love in The Philadelphia Story, “She’s yar, all right.” > [@JaneDoe42](#): > > I left a very small amount of money in the US stock market. I thought it would be interesting to watch this happen in real time. It is NOT interesting, it is terrifying. Same here, though I have it in there because I’m hoping against hope the market rebounds at some point. I can’t even look at the market news. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-another-lost-great-idea-in-the-mmp/1016391)._
