And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

This is what happens when the Fresh Prince theme song is run through every language in Google Translate and then back into English:

You know, in case you were curious.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Wow, meara, that's great! So will your vision continue to improve as the lenses normalize?

Sometimes I miss SQL. But not enough to, you know, independently do anything with it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wow, meara! (Like Liese said...) That's really cool.

Meara, congrats on the sight! Sorry about the migraine...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I like SQL a lot, but my boss is better at it than I am. So he does most of the SQL stuff and I mostly do interface stuff (HTML or MS Access).

I've been fascinated by databases since '91, when I used a flat-file database and was amazed that I could search a 30 MB database (on an indexed field) in a fraction of a second on an old Zeos 286.

So they're harrassing the retiree who sheltered some children during the shootings.

Dear lord, some people just really suck.

Yep, vision should keep getting better. Might not make it to 20/20 in the bad eye, but should get close. Since surgery was less than 24 hours ago, it's pretty awesome!

Yay meara! You need to rewrite the theme song to The Six Million Dollar Man and sing it every morning.

We can rebuild her. We have the technology.

My mom had the same procedure done a couple of years ago to remove cataracts, and she was amazed at how good her vision was afterward.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

folks,

how do I know if I have the flu or not?

(in other words, I am not feeling great, but I'm not sure if this is a bad cold or the flu!)
