[QUOTE=picunurse] I still have a pink/purple blind spot. Hubby took me out to “lunch” after. I’m still fuzzy after 4 Absolut Peppars. [/QUOTE] I think I’d be having some liquid lunches too, if I had pink and purple blind spots. A near relative of mine recently was stricken with wet macular degeneration, and they’re not too thrilled. They pretty much have to get all of their work done by lunchtime as thier useful vision for reading paper or computer screens is gone by about 1PM. Let’s hope your eyeball docs are on the ball and can figure out what’s going on and treat it soon. ---

Looks like I may be funeralizin’ later this week. Just got a call from my old office that my old boss’ wife is in the hospital and probably won’t make it through the day. Stan is/was a boss worth driving 200 miles for something like that. ---

Somewhere in between: she didn’t want to skip our every-other Tuesday trivia date at The Rustic River. 😛 I ordered her roses to be delivered today. That is something so out of character for me that I expect a call of shock and awe when they arrive, but the phone has been deafenigly silent so far. ---

How do I make the line through a word to cross it out? I don’t see it in the formatting tools. Anyhoo, in toast-r-oven news (it’s spelt like that on the van) (I would like to cross out van and put in toast-r-oven), I decided it makes great toast so I will keep it. Happy everything (birfdays, blurfdays, anniversaries) to everyone who is celebrating. I hope all your wishes come true! ---
