huh??
can't get a photo of the president? ... and other famous dignitaries?
If I were in that neck of the woods that is where you would find me ...
... not that famous folks are my thing ... really not
... but to document a historical event would be interesting!
You wouldn't be able to get very close. The Secret Service will be out in force.

I even have a plaque somewhere that declares me a goddess! and there was a little "altar" for offerings in my cubicle. My preferred "sacrifices" were chocolate pie and longhaired warrior poets. Ate a lot of pie.

They call me a goddess at work...the Basketball Goddess.
And I only made it to one tournament today. We beat the opponent by 40 points! By the third quarter we had so much of a lead that coach sent the JV team out to play them. And by the fourth quarter, we had freshmen in there playing! It was a total blowout.

Hey, guys. I didn't meant to cast a pall over this thread. It really isn't a big deal to me. I'm just trying to get opinions on what you see as an intelligent way to approach this when it does happen. In the meantime, I thoroughly intend to keep going the way things are. That includes terrorizing you all with my insane abuse of moderator powers.
Actually, the thoughts of having 20/20 distance vision are intriguing. I've never had that, ever.
Beyond that, we shan't speak of it again.
Your friend,

So sorry to hear of the cataracts. My mother had the "slow growing" kind and ended up having them removed within 18 months of diagnosis. She didn't really suffer a significant loss of sight in the interim, though. Since the surgery, her vision is better than it ever has been. Don't know if I'd sell off the lenses, really.

I wouldn't spend another minute dwelling on such disturbing quesitons.
Both scenarios are disturbing beyond belief.
Tragic. Just tragic.
Why so tragic? Lola is a cute little doggy.
