I have to go back to the eye doctor next week. I really, really hate the "better 1 ... or 2" ... they're usually close enough that it's impossible to say. After cataract surgery, it seems that my vision isn't changing any more ... but I still have to go through that interminable switching of lenses.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

I can't even.
Happy birthday, Connie!
NS does get vast amounts of snow Sue, by my standards, and I grew up in Northern Ontario with 10' snowbanks. These days, in Toronto, we get 4cm and it is panic stations (mostly because traffic becomes a nightmare).

Halifax doesn't get a much usually, because of the coast. But there's usually one good storm a winter. I guess this is it. I hope this is it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
My eye doctor will say "about the same?" whenever I hesitate with the "1 or 2" questions and it is such a relief to be told that's an option.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I just want to whine, "I don't KNOW! I CAN'T TELL! YOU pick!" at the "One?...or two?" thing, Todd. I'm a cuspy Pisces/Aquarius, don't ask me to decide *anything*!

Well they just announced that buses aren't going back on the road until 5 PM tomorrow, so it's another snow day for me.

Happy birthday, Connie!
The one thing the skateboarding professor really wants is a skate park in his backyard.
You're making me want to hate-watch HGTV.
Note how it's not a question.
