What is on your mind right NOW

[God]

I just did the impossible. I ran into Target and got a floor lamp, light bulbs, and a Hello Kitty laundry hamper...in under 15 minutes. :dance:

that reminds me of a 20-minute drive to work in the military (which turns into over an hour drive during rush hours). (and that's if they don't decide to search your vehicle for bombs).

So I looked up info on that surgery where they put lenses in your eyes to fix your vision. They don't do it for anyone with vision as bad as mine.

Which leaves me wondering- is it possible for them to do it anyway, and I just deal with having glasses but can at least have an easier time finding frames and go with the cheaper lenses? If I did get that, would I finally be able to use the makeup mirrors made for people with slightly bad vision to be able to put on makeup?

Sometimes, I just want to dress up my face...

Dude, even if I can't do the makeup, at least I could afford to get a few pairs of glasses, and have different ones for different moods!

WARNING: I just watched a horrible YouTube video about a man who was killed by Africanized bees.

It's here:

I'm not embedding it in the post (I started to, at first) because even the preview image is horrible.

Getting out of town for a few days and really looking forward to the break in routine.

Well if the bees did not bother you so much, this might. :lol:​

Ok, so about 6 months ago I'm sitting on the can, and I see a tube of Nair that my room mate has been complaining about. Bought at the end of last summer, she had used it, and was burned by the caustic properties that are unavoidable when you want to influence a protein, or dissolve it at its weakest point. A little later I am board and want to do something for me, that will make me feel good about me, but the tatt I want is going to cost a bunch, and I'm too lazy to actually leave the house to buy some new cloths or something to feel good about myself, so...



I know what you are thinking, I was a little concerned too, but thought it would not be too bad. My balls have been through a lot, and though no longer callused, are a little tougher than your average sack. Not a problem. Later that evening, nude and kicked back in the recliner while watching the Daily Show, or Democracy Now, (both best viewed in the buff), I was struck by a feeling of personal paradox, as I listened to an interview with a man who had written a book about all the detrimental effect of huge tracks of hundreds of thousands of acres, being clear cut. He talked about one place where the only land that had not been striped were two side by side mountains that stood in defiance, their wrinkled and rouged surface too much work while low flat lands were still treed. The government finally got involved and posted heavy guard around both. He said the sight from the air was amazing, if not a bit sad, that these two mountains stood the only place for hundreds of miles that had not been striped clean, - the border separating the two areas clearly defined in the circle at the base of these mountains.

So, early yesterday I'm feeling a bit board and lacking a bit of the narcissism I am accustom to, I decided it is time to redefine borders again. But this time for reasons I have yet to determine, it not only does not work as well, it leaves Mt. Cam and Mt. Wanks looking more like sparely vegetated sage glass and flattened tumble weed sand dunes. The scene of some ballbastic Baja 500, and 1000 combined. It looks like every possible motorized land machine has raced over my testicles with wheels spinning, and I think a couple outboard motor boats a little too close to shore, as well. As the morning sunlight streams in through the small, high bathroom window, illuminating in every possible shade of red what looks the chicken skin, ballsack version of the killing fields, I think, if Road Rash were here, he might say, "nice coverage dood" :thumbleft:

Feeling a bit guilty for sponsoring this unnecessary man fun event that has left my dunes excoriated, I think a good steward would do something to promote the healing of the abused lands, (if for no other reason, so we can run more races there asap). I search the bathroom for first responders, but find only scented lotions that are mostly petroleum based, (the same stuff they make gasoline from), or anti itch cream. (had I found any anti sting cream, I might have tried that, as I think one with out the indifference and manly sense of superiority of pain that i have, might have been experiencing some degree of stingy pain at that point.) Then I spotted the bottle of large pale yellow jell caps, filled with vitamin E which I know is mild and good for skin, having used it before, I got a small safety pin out of the sink drawer to puncture the cap with. Except these were about 3 times as big as vit. E cap, so I wouldn't have to use as many, and these were filled with fish oil, but you could see by the color, - same difference. Well fish oil, smells distinctly like fish, like small smelly fish in fact. A fact that I did not at first realize. Now you can call not washing the fish oil and smell off, some desire not to irritate an already sensitive issue, or call it, the act of a man that has gotten to the realization that it be prudent he quit while he is behind. Because both of those seem the most obvious conclusion. I tell you the decision to not wash away the fish oil was motivated by the sense of adventure, and the desire that I might be lucky to have a good story to tell, if I slept near the opened window, uncovered, and in the night a neighborhood cat or three became, the story worth writing about. But no cats ever came, all three dogs were guarding them pretty well all night long. :lol:

P.S. I thought of wrapping both jewels complete in tiny white strips of gauze, like the head of someone in the hospital that has just barely survived a horrific accident, or werewolf mauling in a 30's movie, and taking a picture to go along with the post, but as cute as that would have been, it would not have been cute enough...

it is indeed possible. problem is finding a doc willing to do it. with most surgeons of any kind they tend to refuse to act if they cant have full success, ruins their percentages. you would probably be more likely to find a lasik provider willing than the implants. i had a cousin that got lasik despite being near legally blind. only took him to 20/80 vision, but he was happy as horse poop since he could now actually see faces beyond 6 inches and could wear cool classes.

@Camstory you can't pay me enough to use any kind of nair product. I'm SERIOUSLY allergic to that stuff and had to learn the hard way. My poor father was scraping my burnt skin off the bath tub for weeks afterwards. It was gruesome.....

Packing is NOT fun! But it IS good exercise. At least I'm doing it all to Tiny Tim and giggling at my own crazy dancing. :dance:

I used Nair when I was in either middle or high school. I had to stop because leaving it on my legs for 15 minutes was torture...it burned so badly, and my legs turned red. And Nair smells like eggs...ugh!

So I just shave with a razor and shaving cream.

I've been walking on egg shells all day.

No, literally--my dog was eating an egg and dragged the eggshell to the carpet and chewed it up on the rug. Now my rug is covered in little white eggshell pieces.

A guy named Daniel Hess invented a pretty neat little machine back in 1860 called the carpet sweeper A.K.A. vaccuum cleaner, it comes in rather handy for things like that.

I believe we own one of those, but ours is broken, I have set it right in the middle of the room and plugged it in for over a half hour and nothing. I thought maybe it didn't do well with ppl watching, so the next day I did the same thing and left the house all day, but still nothing so broken for sure. When it gets too bad I use a push broom but that's work so I like to just throw another clean rug over the top.

Crazy isn't it? My 3 oldest each have their own Ipods and Iphones. They can't do anything without their nose buried in their phone.

Yes, I want it THAT bad.

I was told that the shape of my eyes made it impossible for lasik to work even with limited success. Something about them not being able to get the laser to focus where it's supposed to, possible chance of burning a very wrong thing. Otherwise, I'd have gotten that about 8 years ago, back when I was still on my parent's insurance and they were paying for stuff like that. In fact, that's why we went to the Mayo clinic, the visit that ended with "best we can do is get you into hard lense contacts. Is that okay?"

20/20 vision with contacts. The only time in my life. Fucking parents forced me to wear them for 10 hours a day, which made my eyes start to reject them. But that was 7 years ago, so maybe they'll be cool with them now. Now if only hard lenses didn't cost $600 and require that I still get the $400 glasses for the other 8-10 hours that I'm awake...

I've got a bowl of kidney and pinto beans soaking overnight. I am about to get out of bed and make a big crock pot full of chili.

Every so often you see a new product that is so simple, yet a much needed improvement and go "Why didn't I think of that!"

well that just purely sucks i feel you though, mine arent as bad as yours but i still have to shell out 250-300 just for lenses, which is highway robbery if you ask me. yeah its an unusual prescription (bad myopia, plus a different astigmatism on each eye) but ive had them done in house at a lens crafters before. took them 20 frakkin minutes. yer gunna tell me that the lens blanks cost 200 bucks? ridiculous. but, end of rant.

So the other night a fight broke out in a Philly nightclub (two women were fighting over a man), which resulted in some woman getting kicked out. This pissed-off chick then got into her vehicle and drove right into a group of women who were standing outside, and then fled the scene. :angry4: One of the women who got hit is my younger cousin. I hope they catch this psycho.

Her breathing tube is out now. She doesn't even live in PA anymore (that's our hometown). She lives in North Carolina, but happened to be in PA for a visit, and trying to enjoy a night out with friends.
