Get good glasses from...
Posted By: fisherlady on 2008-02-20
In Reply to: I bought me some reading glasses for computer use the other day sm - looking foggy!!
After my first year of typing, I was also feeling eye strain, etc. My brother told me me to go to the eye doctor and get some glasses specifically for computer use. Not just the cheap reading glasses type. This is the best thing I have ever done in regards to being an MT. I cannot remember the price, just told them I spent approx. 8 hours in front of a computer daily and had eye strain, headaches, etc. No fogging, haziness or anything. They never leave my desk either, just sit right by the computer. Try it.

My glasses - LOL
I don't put my contacts in until I'm done working because I'm at that age where I'm getting the presbyopia and I can't see crap on my computer with my contacts. I usually shower at lunch and if I'm going out after, I'll use foundation, powder, black eyeliner and blush. I even do my hair - LOL. I mean, I wash/brush it daily but I'll add some effort to it and actually curl it. I'm bad about haircuts and I need my yearly haircut soon. I wish I had the pic on my computer of me going to my 20th class reunion. I posted it to an Australian pug web site awhile back and they told me I "scrub up really nice". Great bunch of people!
Sounds like you do a lot of work on your face and I'll bet you benefit from it. I need to quit smoking before I start getting the "purse-string lips".
Thanks. I see much better with my lenses than my glasses for sure. I will try that with the
Boston. I used that on them also. It is very bad pollen time around here right now. My car is covered in it.
Nope, just glasses
Nope, just glasses. Guess one day I'll have to break down and go to the doc (been 6 years since last visit).
I only go when I can't see out of my glasses anymore.
Or when I accidentally sit on them and break them.
could be eye strain - might need glasses or new prescription -

1 to 2 more glasses of wine some nights.

Wore contacts, glasses and what have you
for years and years. I was nearsighted, vision was 7 inches in front of my face and then fuzzy. I finally had Lasik but was told I probably would still need glasses for reading afterwards, no problem for me. I go to the dollar store and get whole bunch of the $ glasses and they work just fine for me, all that I need. I just try on until I get comfortable reading and there you go!
Try drinking 8 glasses of water a day...(SM)
I just spoke with a friend whose husband was advised by his doctort to drink a lot of water for his back problem. He did and it worked and he feels better overall. Could be the bones in your feet are dry and building up with calcium.
OP could put fake glasses with nose and mustache on the

PS! - I knew I needed reading-glasses when - sm
my boyfriend & I would sit in restaurants across the table from each other, each of us holding up the menu for the other one to read. (He needed them, too.) The waitress came up and said, "Honey, you need reading glasses!"
I bought me some reading glasses for computer use the other day sm
and I am seeing much better, feeling less headache tension, and not squinting to look at the screen. I love them. However, I have a funny problem I need help with! They keep getting foggy or glazed over. HELP!! I am not a glasses wearer either so this is all totally new to me. It makes no difference if I turn my desktop fan on or not. I clean them off and within a few minutes they are glazed back over again. Anybody got any solutions to this???? I have tried not using them and my eyes go bonko again. Maybe it's a cheap pair of glasses causing it? I bought plain jane cheap as could be until I saw if I could get used to it and it helped or not. 
oh yeah, and free glasses with fill-up's
Our cupboards were full of glasses earned for fill-ups! i had forgot about that :)
If my lashes were that long, they'd bump into my glasses and
I've ended the cazillion dirty glasses in the sink every day problem...
My husband and I got tired of the kids coming to the kitchen a bunch of times during the day and each time grabbing a new glass to drink from - even after we asked them to pick a spot on the counter to keep their glass at and rinse it out/wash it after every use. Previously we'd end up with the dishwasher filled on the top level with glasses every day.
I went to Target and found different colored plastic tumblers. I bought a tumbler for everyone in the household. At supper time tonight I put all tumblers on the table and told everyone to pick their favorite color. After this was done they were all told this is now their color to use, and they're solely responsible for their tumbler each day, and are to rinse/wash it as needed throughout the day. I then went to the cabinets and proceeded to pack up all but 4 glasses we have in the cabinet - and those 4 I've moved to the very top shelf. They know that if their tumbler is found outside of the kitchen the problem is solved of "who left the glass on the living room table?" None will be allowed to wonder to bedrooms or they'll lose their tumbler and have nothing to drink from but a small juice glass. If we have company they can use the 4 glasses on the top shelf.
This should work and we'll no longer have dishpan hands!
Thank you! I didn't realize they made computer glasses. Will make an appt. Spit didn't wor

Anyone have any good holiday dessert recipes? Looking for something good to take to a party. nm

What a good role model you are for good holiday spirit...wow nm
Awesome! Good service is good news.

glad to see you look at it this way! Really good idea! Have a good season! nm

Good Fences make good neighbors
You can get premade cedar fencing that comes in sections. You dig a post hole at the appropriate distance and fill with a bag of quick-crete. Alternatively, you could buy a used fence from a place that hauls away.
You could also get an electric fence, just hook to a battery and run the cord (for retraining purposes) it would not hurt your dogs.
I feel your pain. Roll up your sleeves and pray for some digging weather!
Hey hon, you can have one. There are tons of good ones out there looking for a good woman. They ain&
doorstep. Seek and you shall find. So, if you 'really' wanted one, me thinks you would have one...
All good points, good post. (nm)

a good movie with a good lesson

Good for you! Keep up the good work!

Yes there are some that are good. This wasn't about one that was good.

R-I-D-D-A-N-C-E. Good riddance. Not good riddens. Riddens is not even a word.
my pet peeve
I would make a good Beth with wig on. Not sure DH would make a good Dog.

Here's a good one.....
She is sexually inactive since being widowed by choice. 
Good for you!
:-)
Good for you
Sounds like she has a good home. It just may take her time and I am sure professional help will help. We need to learn not to let them train us. I have two cats and my dog and I am sure I spoil them according to most people but right now they are my family. I am sure Tasha will not be around much longer and don't think I will replace her for a while. Would be nice to be able to come and go for a while and not worry about someone taking care of the dog. Also it is a little more work training a puppy down here on the water in a floating home. So it will be me and my cats for a while. I am also not sure I have the energy for a puppy. But it sounds like you have sure provided a good home for Miss Lilly.

good for you--sm
Puppies have a way of healing our hearts! We won't forget, but they fill that empty gap..for the other remaining pets, as well. They get lonesome too after having had a companion for a period of time. Just give them time to become friends. I am happy for you!
as an IC you need to get a GOOD CPA....
I truly do not think you can do this yourself, unless you are so business-books acclimated and always on top of things.....
I've been an IC for 10 years and an MT for nearly 30, and as an IC I always get my things CPA-ready for the CPA (receipts/bills/statements, and I write everything down once I get the receipts/bills in good order in the late winter/early spring, by March, and so I go to him with all the categories and the figures and not the receipts/other garbage). You get a percentage off for your office, your electric, et cetera. The CPA's know all the in's and out's of this and are quite helpful and worth every dime, in my mind. I used to pay quarterly taxes (about $500-750) but now I choose to pay yearly, one lump payment by April 15th and I'm all very legal!!
Best of luck! 
It looks good!
And shouldn't that be rheumatiz? :-)
Good for you and your Dr..sm
That is great to hear. Our GYN office was out of the vaccine at the time of our visit, so they must either pushing it hard, or getting a lot of requests for it. I had seriously considered having my daughter get the vaccine, but after I have had a chance to think about it, I'm having second thoughts. I don't want this generation of teenage girls to be guinea pigs for something that may have harmful effects later on. And the government making it mandatory? Let's hope not.
some good, some bad
but don't you want your kids to have a better and easier life?
That's a good one!
!!!!!!
not good
according to about-to-graduate as vet daughter. As certain nutrients that the one animal NEEDS, is not in the other's food. I can't remember all of what she said, but know it can lead to deficiencies.
Good for you!
Glad to hear things went so well, and I'm sure your mind will rest easier now too.
LOL! Good one... : )

Good for you.....
 So excited to read that. I would swear that is the best "diet" so to speak. Great news - keep up the good work! 
Good for you
I find it very hard to believe that it happened to you and you can be so flippant about it.
Mine happened more than 25 years ago. I was 14 years old. When I told, I was branded, I was a liar, I was asking for it, etc...
How is it that a grown man can beat the living daylights out of a young girl, rape her, cut her legs with broken glass, and then act like nothing happened. How can an entire community act like nothing happened?
I still have nightmares. I can sometimes even still smell that cheap cologne he wore. I want to vomit every time I get a little whiff of it.
The next 3 weeks were the longest of my life, wondering if that monster got me pregnant. I absolutely would have aborted if he had. Either that or I absolutely would have killed myself.
I would love to give you my nightmares since you seem to be so strong. I would gladly give them up.
Good. I used to like her; but since she
came out of the closet, she has become more arrogant.
Not that there is anything wrong with that. (coming out of the closet).
Good - thank you (sm)
You both just posted about the same time. Not sure what I did to that poster. Anyway..I made an appointment which my boss agreed to, and I haven't given my notice yet - thought I should wait until I feel better to make any big decisions. Thanks
Good for you. --sm
once you start feeling better, the other positive steps will fall into place too. Hang in there, you can do it!
and DumDum is not so DumDum--I have been around the block a few times myself, and have had many experiences such as yours. Think positive thoughts for what you want out of life and those positive thoughts will create positive energies around you. Don't let anyone elses criticisms get you down. It can be hard because all it takes is one negative remark to set you back sometimes. Take care and good luck to you!
Good for you! I am on day 2.
You can do this! We both can do this.
I am on my gazillionith quit attempt. Stress always does me in, but I am like you, thinking this has to be the end.
This stinking habit is really jeopardizing my healt. I had a really bad URI about a month ago and then ended up with costochondritis. I quit for a couple weeks, and then picked them up again. Got fed up yesterday and said enough. I can't smoke, because it kills to cough. I am so tired of the way cigarettes make me feel, both physically and mentally.
Look for the book, The EasyWay to Stop Smoking by Allen Carr. It helps to get you in the right mindset and put in perspective what the addiction does to you.
Good luck. Keep fighting the fight, no matter what. E-mail me if you need a quit buddy!
Good for you!
That sounds like fun. I would love to find something like that so I wouldn't have to be at this desk quite as much.
Good for you! If you have
made it through the first 3 days I think you are pretty much home free, so day #8 is excellent. You have gotten the nicotine out of your system and have conquered the physical withdrawal- now you just have to deal with the mental/emotional addiction.
I quit 15 years ago and it was a struggle but what worked for me was to ride out each craving when it came on, without trying to stuff it down with food or whatever. In the class I took they said that if you stuff the cravings at the beginning then they will pop up 2 or 3 months down the road when you are totally unprepared mentally for them, and that is usually what makes people relapse.
The other thing that really helped was when I was in a good solid mental state and really aware of how much I wanted to quit I sat down and wrote down all reasons I wanted to quit and all the bad things about smoking that I hated and all the good things that life as a nonsmoker would entail. It was very good to have that to read at times when my mind would try to play little tricks on me.
Also, watch your self talk. If you see someone smoking and think to yourself "man, they get to smoke and I can't" you will only feel deprived and punished. Think to yourself "I'm so glad I choose not to do that anymore."
Good luck!!
Good for you!
It will get better. DH did it 3 years ago, and he is unbelievably glad he did. Smoking is sooo inconvenient these days. When I see people smoking outside their places of business these days, they don't even hold their cigs like they used to; now they usually try to hide them. They are probably wishing they were already where you are right now - at 30 days. Your breathing is going to be improving, exercise will get easier, and your skin will start looking younger.
You certainly have a lot of stresses in your life, and this change is going to help you in the long run, as you know. I applaude you for making this positive change and handling all that.
You are pretty awesome.
When I say it's good for ya it's good for ya! nm

LOL. Good
I was afraid you were one of the many that didn't like him. If you need to know anything else, just let me know.
Another good one
We recently had an article in the paper here in town where a woman won on the Price of Right, a very expensive car, not sure if it was a ferrari or something else - wanted donations to pay the taxes, tags and insurance, something like 25,000, so she would not have to sell the car because she liked it so well.
