I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Also, yay Suzi! Of course they like you.

Sue, could he get an e-reader or tablet, and increase the font size that way? A bit more expensive than the book, admittedly.

My dad is in similar shape--deaf in one ear, not great in the other, had cataract surgery, and then one eye had issues...he's been wearing an eye patch for months and now they've decided to take out the eye entirely, tomorrow. Which is creepy enough, but apparently this is now OUTPATIENT surgery???

Oh wow, meara - that does sound like it shouldn't be outpatient surgery. But the piratey opportunities abound.

I grew a pair and pulled the job description that is two levels above me, highlighted the requirements that I feel I perform, which meant I highlighted at least 2/3rd of the list, and then I gave it to my boss. I know it is reaching, but why not toss that in...

So the corneal transplant

He used to read on my Kindle, but he found the buttons fincky. I don't know how he would do with a tablet. But it's an idea.

Brava, Suzi! I'm not surprised they like you.

Me, I applied for a job with a solar power developer this morning. Yada yada, I know from real estate and can do environmental permitting and can talk to people. t handwaves

I'm not convinced they'll be interested, but who knows?

That sounds pretty nifty, Consuela. I hope they're interested.

Good luck, Suzi.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Sue, this would be a good time to get him an e-Reader of some sort. Because you can bump up the font size to be Very Legible.

Sue, sorry -- the interval between writing that and pushing the Post button passed by your perfectly cromulent explanation.

Also, I'm on hi-test cold medicine now. So 'be careful operating heavy machinery and making Internet posts' may apply.

Well, pfeh. That solar company rejected me already. Damned automated resume-readers.
