Frankly, My Dear…

I saw the cutest Pug puppy last night at Great Clips. It belonged to one of the girls that worked there. I don’t really like their bug eyes but it sure was cute! I went there after spending a couple of hours at the eye clinic having my eyes turned inside out! That’s what it feels like! I would love to get a look at what the doctors see! You know,  you look at your eyes and think nothing’s going on but actually, there is—all you have to do is throw about five kinds of dilating drops in and light them up with some of the brightest lights know to mankind! Then spend about an hour  two inches away from each other! Oh, and you can tell who had onion! I’ve considered giving out mints as a joke but I’m not sure if the egos could take it! heh

I can tell that my eye has improved but it has a membrane over it, now. And that most likely will mean surgery to removie it!  They want me to come back on the 31st to make some more pictures with the computer and maybe have another shot. They sure seem to think nothing about offering to give you a shot in your eye! Nothing to it–it’s just a needle in your eye! They don’t seem to get that it seems weird to be getting a shot in your eye, not to mention painful! It’s old hat to them…..nothing to it! Right!

My diabetic medication is not agreeing with my digestive system and something needs changing. The eye doctor thinks I should take insulin. I’m not sure I want to do that. I heard on the news that they’re working on a cream to rub in and a spray for the nose.  I hope they’re in a hurry!

Thanks, Sherri!

Remember I said we went out to eat with some friends alittle over a week ago? We split our ticket and I paid in cash and our friend put his on his card, including the tip.  He has a habit of checking his bill later on. He was very surprised to find $13 had been added to the bill when he checked it! The waiter kept saying that he had just started working there and we kept saying it was okay—but it isn’t okay to help your self to someone else’s money.  We had both given him a tip and I guess he wanted more. It made our friend mad and he went back to the restaurant for the $13. They were nice about it and even gave him the money for the food back. The waiter wasn’t there.

When you use a card for your meal, do you check to see if the right amount is on the card or do you pay the bill without looking?

Artwork of Alabama’s death row convicts enjoy brisk sales on the internet. Even better, some of it is pornographic. The convicts send it to friends who post it on the internet. Who the heck would support this?!

Can you hear Peggy Lee singing…..you give me fever? Well, I don’t know what’s giving me fever!

Have you bought a thermometer lately? We used to have several around. The one I liked the most was a strip that you stuck on your forehead. Simple and direct. It isn’t hard to tell when you have a temp—you’re hot! During the past week I haven’t felt too perky and it dawned on me that I felt like I had a low-grade temp. I started thinking about a thermometer to prove myself right. Problem? No thermometer around.  Yeah, I’m clever that way! heh  So that meant going in search of one at Wally World. I found the thermometer section after asking for help—hey, I’m not feeling perky! Bro-ther! They have alot of fever dedectors! The cheapest one was $7.  Most of them were UP! The thermometers have been invaded by electronics! I don’t know what the ones that cost over $7 do because I got the $7 one! All I wanted to find out was if I had temp and what it was! Sounds simple, doesn’t it? HA You should see the instructions! About 3 feet of small print! It has an off/on button, it beeps 2 times for this and 3 times for somethhing else! I gave the instructions to my son and asked him to decipher them. I tried putting it in my mouth and it looked like it was reading around 98. something….after the beep. Oh, and it saves the temp for you, too.

I remembered that I’d taken tylenol so it most likely wasn’t accurate! At the doctor’s office, the tech put a fever stick in my ear and it beeped that I did have a slight fever! A-ha, I was right! What did the doctor say? Oh, that’s nothing to be concerned about! Excuse me but I don’t usually have fever! I have a small cut on the bottom of my foot that I didn’t put anything on because it took awhile to get the bleeding to stop and I just forgot. When you’re diabetic, you have to be super careful about things like that. The doctor gave me some anti-biotics that are horse sized and some topical ointement that I haven’t had filled yet. Waiting out the tornado weather!

I’m not sure what’s wrong but I’ve had pain in my head with some other things–no signs of a cold or cough for about a week. My diabetic med is not agreeing with my internal system so I don’t know if that has anything to do wiith it or not.  I called the ER at the Eye Clinic to be sure there was no connection.  I talked to one of the doctors and she said the eye didn’t sound like it was causing it. But she also gave me alittle pep talk about coming in to have my other eye worked on, ’cause my eye was just going to continue to swell and get worse! Damn! Nothing like pressure! I wish I could show them what it looks like from this side!

I turned down something for pain, but I may go back!

Do you think The King would still be rockin’ on his 73rd birthday?

Hmm, how much do you think this one bedroom, one bathroom house would go for? Well, if you thought you found a bargain—guess again! Yeah, this little jewel of a dream is going for $173,000 smackers! The bedroom contains a Murphy bed which when released from the wall takes up the entire room! I guess you either eat out or get a grill!

It’s in Toronto. Hurry and beat the crowd!

There’s a funny post at Blackfive  about football players, politicians, marriage—go check it out:

I really liked the comment about the WH pastry chef having 8 years of experience! heh  I’d like to see Hillary’s face if someone threw that at her! We might see a meltdown! Comments are funny, too!

JP sent me an email about a blogger who died in Iraq and had arranged for his last post, if needed. Scared me when I saw top milblogger dies in Iraq! Yeah, my mind went there before I could stop it!

The loss of good people just hurts like a 2×4 across the head! Read Major Andrew Olmsted’s last post on his blog:

AWTM  has a most interesting post about Obama and the MUSLIM group he is in—I don’t recall that being mentioned before! Go check it out!

Now, I’m just sitting here doing some head-scratching. Mitt Romney’s religion was constantly being brought up—even mentioned as a cult. Obama was mentioned as this fresh breeze of change, so the muslim part is unimportant? The fact that he is linked to the religion of peace (HA) doesn’t matter? Someone needs to get their head out of the sand!
