snip onI thought that one had to be pretty badlyWhen I first met her, she would have been maybe 22, they did surgery to
off (almost in me territory) to be denied
because of eyesight.
the muscles controlling one of her eyes, seems to run in thefamily...her dad
had the same problem and now my great-nephew does. After that theywere almost
perfectly aligned, if she got tired not so much. Her eyesight was muymalo in
one eye, and corrected in the other. It was only after the lensreplacements
that she didn't need bifocals, still needed reading glasses.
also,Course, not much risk involved, so why fuss.More along the line of "Arf, arf, great landing!" They were all pilots
which is why Connie MADE me learn how.
probably knowsWhy don't skis have shock absorbers?I would guess the weight and KISS factor for small planes. Jim
more about this. Always fighting weight. Connie and I flew down toHomer, we
flew down to Homer a lot, and it came down to having her or a 12pack ofbeer.
Being a coward, or I was being accomodating take your choice, I took her. Besides we were staying with her boss on their boat. Remember mycomment about
the flight from Nadi to Suva and having to step up onto the scaleholding my
carry on (everybody got to do it), that's when they made seatassignments and I
got to sit in the first row immediately behind the copilot (great viewof the
instrument panel). Then again I took a commercial flight from Cordovaback to
Anchorage and sat in the copilots seat (I had to promise not to touch anything), we dropped down and circled some whales.

Eyes are the Achilles' heel of many of us.
Can one easily change direction in ground
effect? If so, one might try some interesting
antics.
We had to be weighed on numerous flights to concerts

And to think that once upon a time I had 20/10. Now I wear bifocals.

When I was 14 or 15 I had 20/15 and recall seeing details on a postage
corrected and have a trifocal varilux lens for walking / driving around
and another pair of bifocals with the major lens optimized for
arms-lenght computer screen.

Mine are just a single. I stared at a monitor all day,
back when I wasn't a parasitic drain on the economy, and
needed them. With them I can see clearly from about 18" to
6', after that things are slightly fuzzy. Meaning if I'm
not careful I'll head for the car with the wrong eyes on.

Hey, it ain't just me! Lilli exhibits the same excellent
taste.
My personal preferences start at pig, then cow, and
finally fowl type things. Although I ate tons of veal
while in France, not much of it up here (never even seen it
in the stores). I don't have feeling either pro or con
concerning lamb or goat, not enough experience. I guess
anything on 4 legs is a possibility for lunch.

The only time I have goat is at one particular Indian buffet where
they ususally have a goat curry. It has a rich brown gravy with it.
Gail won't touch it though because of the predominance of bones.

When we next get together in real life, let me know about that. My
eye doctor has said that someday I will need to have that done and
that I
should talk with people who have had it done.

I'm going to have to have it done sometime probably in the next few
years, but after the other eye issue is resolved. Thanks for the
head's up; I'd like to be in on that talk too.

Sounds good to me. By then I'll have had my annual appointment with
the retina specialist and know how that's developing.

Yes, as it has to be done before the cataracts and I don't want them
to get to the point of not being able to see that well while waiting on the other issue. Don't want to have to cook by braille.

No, that could be a bit offputting... ;) A friend of mine at the Pond
had issues with macular degeneration... she become close to fully
blind, but found ways of coping in the kitchen so she could still
cook...

You have to find ways to compensate but I don't want to start experimenting quite yet. Of course one way to cope with the problem
would be to have Steve do all the cooking. (G)

Between the 3 of us, we should be able to function in a kitchen. (G)

I'd say "me, myself and I" but we were talking about Steve being
included so it was just a typo. (G)
