20043. arkymalarky - 8/17/2006 10:44:32 PM Yes, he already has his degree.
I skim and miss details a lot these days. I had thought Flexy had broken both wrists. It's good that his wrist is healed and hopefully he'll make good progress with his eye, as well. 20044. Max Macks - 8/17/2006 11:47:15 PM I had the cataract surgery a couple years ago.
It is just one of the greatest medical procedures
I ever had . The eye surgeon now uses some sort
of lazer "knife" , drops are put in the eye before
and after , The bandage which people having this
done years ago is not longer used. No bandage
no pain (other then worry before hand) and the
whole thing takes less than 20 mintues
10 to get prepared and 10 for the procedure.
amazing. 20045. Magoseph - 8/18/2006 12:07:11 PM I agree, Max, that these days, cataract operations are easily done, but not when one has macular degeneration and is of advanced years, in my opinion.
Hello, everyone—Arky, Flexy sprained his left arm badly—not all bad what happened to him this year—at least, he has learned that, although he looks a good ten years younger than most men his age, he must be more cautious these days.
20046. wonkers2 - 8/18/2006 4:58:24 PM It doesn't always work so great. When my brother had it, due to a typo, they inserted the wrong lens. And he went around with a patch on his eye for 6 months until they did the operation over with the correct lens. Much greater risk when you have it done over. Happily, it seems to have worked out okay. 20047. jexster - 8/18/2006 5:18:02 PM Create you own masterpiece 20048. wonkers2 - 8/18/2006 8:20:53 PM Great fun. I've discovered my unknown talent. 20049. Magoseph - 8/18/2006 10:01:31 PM Arky, what was the name of that Optimizer you used to speed up your computer, please? 20050. arkymalarky - 8/18/2006 10:16:57 PM It's called Megaboost. 20051. judithathome - 8/20/2006 2:42:50 PM We're meeting 16 relatives for dinner tonight. I'm sure all the conversation will center around recent weddings and my cousin's grandchildren, who will be there, and, if sitting anywhere near me, be cranky.
Thank goodness this restaurant is BYOB. 20052. judithathome - 8/20/2006 8:10:43 PM Just had a nice chat with Magoseph and she has asked me to let everyone know she will be off-line for a few days due to the intrusion of RL...not to worry, though, as it isn't health related to either Flexy or her. Just stuff that has to be done... 20053. Max Macks - 8/20/2006 8:17:00 PM Gee, Wonkers , I didn't know that the catarac
surgery could be messed up.
I guess it depends on the skill of the opthamolgist.
By the way ain't there some way that one can
make a reference to a previous post .
I remember from previous time here only that
there is a way , but not the way. 20054. arkymalarky - 8/20/2006 9:48:00 PM Go to the home page, look in the righthand column, and click on "HTML Hints." It should give you all the basics like that. 20055. arkymalarky - 8/20/2006 9:49:51 PM Hope you enjoy the evening, Judith.
I'm going to try my best not to see anyone until work in the morning. It's been non-stop around here. But Mose has a new puppy--a puggle, which is a beagle/pug combination.
We'll look forward to Mags getting back. Thanks for the info! 20056. jexster - 8/22/2006 11:02:08 AM

20057. OhioSTOPAS - 8/25/2006 1:55:30 AM Hi, everybody!
I just posted a tragic local news story in "News & Current Events," so I thought I'd post here and let everyone know things are (otherwise) fine with the Ohios.
In fact, we are a couple of days away from being empty-nesters, as we take our youngest to college at Barnard/Columbia. (No, we're not rich, my daughter is tremendously accomplished academically and otherwise, and Barnard laid a big scholarship on her. Yes, I'm bragging about my daughter - wanna make something of it?)
We've been excited for her ever since she was accepted, and we still are, but about a week ago I started getting pangs about my little girl leaving. But she'll love it, and it will be great!
I PROMISE to spend more time in the Mote!
20058. arkymalarky - 8/25/2006 2:14:39 AM Hey Ohio! I haven't seen the News thread yet, so I hope everything's okay.
CONGRATS TO YOUR DAUGHTER!!!!! It's hard watching them go for the first time.
Please do spend more time here! 20059. wonkers2 - 8/25/2006 3:43:52 AM Great news, Ohio. You are justly proud. You and your wife must have done something right! 20060. alistairconnor - 8/25/2006 11:05:27 AM Congrats, Ohio! What's she studying? And how far from home is that university? 20061. PsychProf - 8/25/2006 3:45:11 PM Congrats to all Ohios on that news. 20062. judithathome - 8/25/2006 6:57:05 PM Add my congratulations and best wishes to the fray! (no pun...)
