Nope, just glasses. Guess one day I'll have to break down and go to the doc (been 6 years since last visit).

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.
Get good glasses from...
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.
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

I mean grants. Found a local one. Thanks!
nope
No, just saw my regular doctor a long time back who prescribed one of the ergotamine drugs and I had a bad reaction to it, got extremely cold hands and feet and nearly passed out and thought I was going to die. I could neither lie down nor sit up and got breathless and didn't know if it was serious enough to rush for medical help. Luckily it passed after about an hour, and I never tried it again. The worst part is trying to sleep all through the night for 3 nights with the pain which keeps waking me up. I am not sure if I should visit an ENT doctor or a neurologist or both, seeing how I get two types of headaches every month, one on each side. Am seriously thinking of stopping at least the hair color use so the sinusitis will subside, but the migraine?
nope. not in the least. sm
I have opened my umbrella in the house quite a bit and nothing bad ever happens. I had a black cat too for 13 years and she passed on, but she was a good companion. Life is life and these things are not going to bring you bad luck, good luck, or anything else for that matter. life is too short.
Nope.
I can't imagine not having my siblings and wanted my kids to have the same.
Nope, not just you
It's getting flat out ridiculous. So sad, I've loved Y&R for as long as I can remember. 
Nope - NC!
It's a hot weekend, may as well shop when not working, LOL.
Nope really can't
But, I maybe able to get away with not having to put dd in daycare so that would $250 a month I would not have to worry about. I don't really know but if I can pay less on family insurance that might be a plus.
There was a job opening at a manufacturing warehouse to work in the collections department for $11.50 an hour. I passed that up because it would have been a little bit of a paycut...... but then again, maybe not because for family health insurance I would not have to pay a dime, company covers all. That would be $145 a month that would not be going out. Plus they get retirement, company stock.
I live in a small town. Our hospital is going to VR. They have not said anything about cutting back on employees yet but if they do, I am sure they will keep the better producers..I just thought this was an opportunity to bow out gracefully. I am feeling better than I did yesterday when I first posted.
NOPE. That's what THEIR med. ins. is for! - sm
And if the kid had a recently-operated-on finger, why wasn't it bandaged/casted, etc. At least that would've alerted you and others who know the child that she needed to take it easy.
Nope
Did none of what you listed...mostly just asked around, mentioned the name, and bam...info abounds! Sorta like Google ya know, but in a more personal fashion...
nope
As Dorothy said at the end of Wizard of Oz, "Next time I go looking for my heart's desire I won't look any further than my own backyard."
Nope...not twice...sm
Adultery is just the ultimate betrayal. I mean I know some people make mistakes but that is very painful. Forgiving once would be hard enough but twice no. And besides seems to me it is like saying ok go ahead and cheat on me and I will just forgive you later.
Nope, not me
I'm just little ol me. I've worked for the same company for 3 years and love my job so I wouldn't be able to give any information (useful or not useful) to anyone. Also for new MT questions...I leave that for the QA or more experienced MTs to answer.
I do try to stay positive. In fact one time my SIL told me that my attitude on life is way too positive and wondered if I ever get mad. :-)
Nope
Look at this way, if the patient is terminal and the meds "might" help, you could spend the time you have left chasing the dream of a cure. I would rather spend the time with my family rather than chasing something that "might" help me.
nope, i don't buy it.
I am only 5Ƈ" and could conceivably fall in, but i could also get out, unless someone was sitting on the lid...
Um, nope, I'm not saying that.
That would be a New Age thing, or Kaballah, or some other politically correct type of spirituality. Christians might say the Holy Spirit lives in someone who is saved, but that's not the same thing AT ALL.
Nope...nm

Nope, already there
Does no good to worry- just think what the other alternative is. I really enjoy these "golden years." Just think, this year after reaching 66, my property taxes come down from over 2500.00 to 800.00- I am able to work and still get social security which makes my income twice of what it is before drawing, i get reduced prices in stores, movies, theater and the like, restaurants. I have only 2 slight medical problems, both controlled with medication once a day, basically money situation so much better than when raising a family, do what I like when I like. A wonderful time for me.
Nope...sm
My husband doesn't hit me and never has. That just isn't his nature. It infuriates him for a man to hit a woman. I couldn't take someone hitting me when they got ticked off at me.
NOPE
The boy is 13 and he could probably make his own mind whether or not he wants this. What if he said for his own beliefs that he doesn't want it. What makes the courts decide in a persons personal health decision anyway. I WOULD get my patient chemo. IN FACT they already went 1 dose of it themselves. Government stay out away from out families!!!
Nope, not even in traffic.
:P
No hot dogs either! Nope.

Nope ~ used to have a cat named Sam...
now have 2 cats, Lucky and Tripp, and a shetland sheepdog, Casey, which was on my list of baby names, but DH didn't like it.
haha.. nope. they don't but they may
during teenage years! LOL. TOO FUNNY!
Nope - missed that.
Sorry.
Nope. It is not your business to tell them.
Nope - Upstate NY nm

Nope, not in the midwest
NM
nope - I don't agree.............sm
if a person wants it bad enough, they'll make it work out on their own - the OP is not alone - maybe she just needs to know she is not alone and that others are or have been in similar situations.
I'd like to see the OP change her life though.......eventually...it's in her best interests and those of her children.
Nope, don't see any with a slinky.
Somebody with a camera and a bird feeder ought to put a slinky on it and film a squirrel attack.
Nope, family are going to do what they want
He did right by letting it go. If he had wanted to take a stand on it, he could have sent his own flowers and signed them the way he wanted. His brother was being a bit of a jerk by not respecting him, but it wouldn't have been the right time for your friend to dig in and insist.
I think a lot of people feel, consciously or not, that you shouldn't change your own name, that it's somehow disrespecting your parents who gave you that name, and they just won't cooperate. I think all he can do is just keep signing with the name he wants to use and quit answering when they call him the wrong name in person.
Nope, that's her chair only.
Wonder where the snowmen came from? Must have been a chain store that sold them. This one was in central Indiana...
nope, my hubby has one
x
Nope, he would not be kicked out because
I have a kitty that I have written on before, she is a mess. I have had to kittyproof my entire home. She is a streak of gray running through the house, leaping on counters, chairs, dining room table, has broken objects (now I have most put up out of the way). I have done everything and will continue to try what people tell me in order to get her past this kitten stage. I know she will probably outgrow and if I had an animal like yours, would never just turn out- would be trying to find ways to help the cat. Have you checked with your veterinarian to see about medicine for the seizures or is that too much for you to handle? The animal makes a mess because of an illness you are saying, not just trying to do something wrong. I have more compassion in my heart than to just call it a loser.
Nope, not superstitious at all
I even have a black cat. I have a friend who's freaked out by the number 666. We when bowl (in our league) if one team comes up with a total of 666, and crosses herself and generally freaks out until the numbers change.
