[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:04:16 PM EDT] <The_Bee> We're finally getting some April showers.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:04:41 PM EDT] <bynw> Hi Bee, KK, and CapnGramma
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:04:56 PM EDT] <bynw> welcome to the chat CapnGramma
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:05:04 PM EDT] <CapnGramma> Been doing a lot of housecleaninig

[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:05:14 PM EDT] <CapnGramma> Thanks for the welcome
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:05:24 PM EDT] <KK> We've had a cold snap come though, behind some heavy rain yesterday. Frost warning tonight.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:05:28 PM EDT] <CapnGramma> Many many years ago
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:05:55 PM EDT] <KK> And you are?
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:06:03 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Hi Bee, DR sorry you are still having pain
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:06:09 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Nezz> Hi all
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:06:15 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> This is the weirdest spring. It can't decide whether to be hot or cold. Though at least here it's starting to feel more springlike
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:06:17 PM EDT] <CapnGramma> Last time I was in chat, we were talkinf about some writer's block during the Childe Morgan period
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:06:33 PM EDT] <bynw> hi Nezz
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:06:41 PM EDT] <KK> Obviously, I got past it. ;-)
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:06:51 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Nezz> Lol! 🙂
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:07:00 PM EDT] <CapnGramma> Yes, yes you did. As I recall it was a very short episode
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:07:06 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Hi KK, Capn grandma. We finally got rail last night just before we turned into the Sahara
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:07:34 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Hi Nezz
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:07:44 PM EDT] <The_Bee> You got railroaded?
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:07:45 PM EDT] <CapnGramma> THat's good. Rain is impoerant
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:07:55 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Nezz> Hi Capn, and welcome back. 🙂
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:08:06 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Rain not rail. Rented fingers
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:08:33 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Demand a refund.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:08:35 PM EDT] <CapnGramma> My fingers aren't cooperative sometimes, too
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:08:56 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Got 3.5 inches total. I was excited
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:09:08 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Got 2.5 inches total. I was excited
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:09:30 PM EDT] <KK> Ft Lauderdale has you beat: 26 inches in 24 hrs.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:09:37 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> Our weather can't make up its mind either, and my sinuses would like to register a complaint. 😉
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:09:43 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Nezz> Holy crow!
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:09:55 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Not in that competition
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:09:58 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> Yikes, re Ft. Laud.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:10:02 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> Yeah, 26 inches is excessive by anyone's measure, I think!
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:10:39 PM EDT] <KK> Yeah, my father used to live there, and my aunt lives just south of there, in Hialeah/Miami Lakes.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:10:47 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Everything was floating. Of course Gov. was out of state
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:10:53 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Our driest April in years. We hope for ore, but not when I'm grocery shopping.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:11:01 PM EDT] <The_Bee> more not ore
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:11:10 PM EDT] <CapnGramma> I live in PA, Our motto is, "If you don't like the weather, wait a minute."
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:11:18 PM EDT] <KK> Do you go for groceries on your trike?
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:11:26 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Is your aunt OK KK?
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:11:37 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hey1 That's OUR motto in New England.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:11:44 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> Hey, quit stealing our Florida motto, CapnGramma! 😄 (I am kidding)
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:11:45 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> Also in Alabama
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:11:56 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> I think a lot of people have that motto
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:12:16 PM EDT] <KK> Yeah, she's fine, though she had to let some water out of her pool. I think they got far less than 26 inches.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:12:23 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Seems to be almost universal
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:12:41 PM EDT] <KK> Where in PA, Capn?
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:12:47 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> Hi everyone
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:12:49 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> The motto not the rain
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:12:51 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> Phoenix does in the summer for sure. I got chased out of the swimming pool because of thunderstorms and about as soon as I walked over to the mall, the storm had blown itself out, any number of times. (Public pool in the 80s.)
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:12:53 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Yes. My battery is dead, and I've lost the keys to the moter..
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:12:55 PM EDT] <CapnGramma> Here it's common to go from Cold and windy morning to 80F mid afternoon, and finish up with snow flurries at night
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:12:55 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Nezz> Hey Jerusha
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:12:59 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:13:01 PM EDT] <KK> Where in PA, Capn?
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:13:04 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:13:11 PM EDT] <The_Bee> HI Jerusha

[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:13:51 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Hi bynw, how are the pups/
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:13:52 PM EDT] <CapnGramma> Mid state now, but I've lived in phila, pittsburgh area, and northwest
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:14:06 PM EDT] <bynw> the pups are good
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:14:10 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> I went to college in Clarion
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:14:10 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> I used to transcribe for an orthopedic practice in Pittsburgh.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:14:14 PM EDT] <KK> Post pup pics, Bynw!

[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:15:36 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> It was that practice where someone else in the office got a hold of the podiatrist's recording equipment and recorded himself rapping the first verse of "Baby Got Back." I am here to tell you, that was *fun* to explain to my supervisor.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:15:41 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> Hi Shiral.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:15:43 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Loved your story about the two sisters

[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:16:28 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Shiral> Hello I'm Melissa and I'm a Deryni Addict..."
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:16:33 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> (That's a pain to type. But please post pup pics. Not enough cute in the world.)
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:16:36 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> Hi HoundMistress

[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:16:55 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Hi, everyone
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:16:56 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> Especially puppies
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:16:58 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Shiral> Hi Hound Mistress
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:17:03 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> I'm impressed, pretty sure I couldn't type that fast with errors and really strange outcome
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:17:08 PM EDT] <chris> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/X7jFBZVl/IMG_2041.JPG
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:17:12 PM EDT] <KK> Definitely. I have cute curled up on my lap right now.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:17:19 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I've been seeing pics of California's "super-bloom." Any near you, Shiral?
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:17:22 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Awww! Cute puppies!!!
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:17:30 PM EDT] <KK> Awwww...
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:17:34 PM EDT] <CapnGramma> So adorable.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:17:40 PM EDT] <chris> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/cU8dhybo/IMG_0797.mov
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:17:41 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> Too cute!
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:17:44 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> Mi blankie, su blankie

[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:17:47 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Shiral> I don't have puppies, but I took a nap with a really cute cat
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:17:55 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Shiral> Awww!
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:18:01 PM EDT] <chris> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/1CzxuWFv/IMG_2045.JPG

[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:18:29 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> They are adorable!
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:18:32 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Nezz> Oh my gosh!!! The puppy-cute! It's too much! *blargh*
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:18:33 PM EDT] <KK> They're smaller than a cat.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:18:39 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> overdose of cutebess
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:18:41 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> Small enough to both be on one shoulder
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:18:51 PM EDT] <bynw> there you go
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:18:54 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> overdose of cuteness
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:18:55 PM EDT] <bynw> puppy pics
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:19:11 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Shiral> Puppy Pics have been accomplished!
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:19:14 PM EDT] <KK> They're siblings, yes?
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:19:16 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Hi HM, good to see you again
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:19:21 PM EDT] <bynw> yes brother and sister
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:19:34 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> This is your life, now, Bynw. You are a dog bed.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:19:40 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Hi, DFK! Good to be back & see everyone
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:19:42 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Which puppy is which?
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:19:49 PM EDT] <KK> lol, yes, he is!
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:19:54 PM EDT] <bynw> white one is the girl .. Myra .... the brown one is the boy .. Milo
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:20:15 PM EDT] <KK> Any significance to the names?
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:20:50 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> Carys was displeased with my absence last weekend; my life is to be a warm cat bed who occasionally gets up to feed her and make sure her fountain is clean and full and hygienic tasks.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:21:03 PM EDT] <bynw> no. just kept the names starting with an M
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:21:20 PM EDT] <bynw> since the current resident dog is Molly (she's 10)
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:21:21 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Shiral> Cats definitely don't like having their routines disrupted.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:21:36 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> How is Molly coping?
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:21:39 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> I read that as "and make sure her fountain is clean and full of hygienic tasks." I was wondering what sort of hygienic tasks a cat would expect you to fill her fountain with! 😄
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:21:48 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> I forgot a comma. Oops.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:21:57 PM EDT] <bynw> she doesnt yet know what to think. hoping the nightmare ends soon i think
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:22:08 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> No, I just read a word incorrectly. 😄
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:22:13 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> I just didn't want to get explicit about the cleanliness element of cat care.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:22:41 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> IBLK was upset with me taking Quanah to stay at friends when our electric was out Thurs night. She did forgive me...after several hours.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:22:43 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> I'm frankly not keen on having my routines disrupted either.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:22:50 PM EDT] <bynw> they want her to play with them and she doesn't want to play
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:22:50 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> Two against one might seem unfair...
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:23:35 PM EDT] <The_Bee> But Molly's bigger, isn't she? or is she another toy?
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:23:37 PM EDT] <KK> Well, they're small--but that means they can pester from different sides.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:23:42 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> Sounds like KitKat and Milo with PJ, who is a grouchy old lady and doesn't want to play with anyone, but the Brothers from Another Mother think that everyone should play.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:23:48 PM EDT] <bynw> she's the same breed
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:23:59 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Two full of energy puppies trying to get grandma to play. I know how that is
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:24:47 PM EDT] <bynw> they are all Chihuahuas
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:25:16 PM EDT] <KK> Molly is a chihuahua? But bigger, yes?
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:25:19 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> @KK when is your procedure or have you had it already?
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:25:46 PM EDT] <bynw> bigger because she is an adult but not much ... she's only 7 pounds
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:26:21 PM EDT] <KK> It's Tuesday, check-in at 0930, and expected to last around 3 hrs. And I go for bloodwork and CT tomorrow at 0800. Blech!
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:26:55 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hope all goes well, KK!
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:26:55 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Shiral> Anything medical at that hour IS Blech!
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:26:59 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> Blech indeed!
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:27:08 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Tell her 'just wait" chihuahuas, small dogs who are covenced they are really great danes\
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:27:11 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Shiral> Wishing you a fast recovery and the best possible outcome, KK
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:27:31 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> Absolutely!
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:27:40 PM EDT] <KK> Bynw, I've asked my friend Martie to text you when she know I'm in recovery. Overnight in the hospital.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:27:53 PM EDT] <bynw> ok
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:28:01 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> If you have to go without food and water before the procedure, then as early as possible the next morning is better, I suppose.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:28:06 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Hope everything goes smoothly KK and the a fib is permanently banished
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:28:32 PM EDT] <KK> From your mouth to God''s ears!
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:28:51 PM EDT] <CapnGramma> My son, Menuvil, said to say, "Hi," to you, KK. He just told me that the first Deryni series is what got him interested in reading for other than school assignments.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:28:51 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> What are you having surgery for, KK?
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:28:57 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Shiral> We all need a bit of repair work as we age
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:29:30 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> Or a complete renovation
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:29:39 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Things keep wearing out and not working properly
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:29:51 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Hope all is well after!
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:30:09 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Shiral> Hopefully not TOO much repair work, just enough to keep everything working as intended
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:30:28 PM EDT] <KK> It's a cardiac ablation, to zap parts of the heart that are messing up heart rate. It isn't really a surgery unless they cut you open, eh? This is all done through catheters, like an angiogram.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:30:54 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> kind of like being rewired
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:31:12 PM EDT] <KK> It's general anesthesia, so I won't feel a thing.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:31:34 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Shiral> Hopefully you'll wake up feeling much better
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:31:37 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> It's still "invasive" so it's a surgery but they do it a lot, so it's considered fairly safe. Sending prayers.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:32:19 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> General anesthesia. Anesthesiologist sticks mask on my face and says, " take three deep breaths." I remember inhaling, exhaling, inhaling again and then waking up in recovery.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:32:34 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Good, don't really want to feel anything. Had a doctor ask me once how much of a procedure I wanted to remember, NOTHING
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:32:37 PM EDT] <KK> Yeah, this doc is an electrophysiologist, which is aother way of saying electrician, as opposed to the folk who open up narrowed blood vessels, who are called plumbers.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:32:57 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> And yes, what Shiral said. Hopefully you will feel loads better when you wake up.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:33:13 PM EDT] * The_Bee sending better h.ealth and healing woodgies to
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:33:25 PM EDT] <CapnGramma> When I've had surgeries, I say, "Night night," right before I go under.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:33:30 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Ha! Ha! Lou called them that, too, KK.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:33:40 PM EDT] * CambersGhost [discord] <Shiral> makes note to send Rhys or Tieg in to check on KK on Tuesday
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:33:54 PM EDT] <The_Bee> health woodgies to KK
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:34:03 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> It's apparently medical-nonsense season. Mom had her pacemaker battery and leads replaced in March and her hip replaced earlier this month, and I'm having cataract surgery on Friday.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:34:29 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> Egad! Hope all goes well, DR
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:34:29 PM EDT] <bynw> i'll post on the Shout Outs on the forum when I hear something on Tuesday
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:34:44 PM EDT] <CapnGramma> Thanks, bynw
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:34:46 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> Thank you, Bynw!
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:34:47 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> are they offering price reductions on bundles?
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:34:53 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> LOL, DFK
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:34:54 PM EDT] <KK> Oh, cataract surgery is magical! You'll suddenly be able to see so much better.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:35:05 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Shiral> I hope Carys won't be cross with you later, DR
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:35:14 PM EDT] <KK> That was the idea, Bynw.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:35:18 PM EDT] <CapnGramma> Sure, get your heart fixed and have an appy half price
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:35:26 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> I hope so. I'll frankly settle for not having a ginormous glare any time I drive after dark.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:35:56 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> It's so much better after, DR
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:36:04 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> Which is a thing I have not been doing if I can avoid it, because ginormous glare taking up most of my field of vision seems suboptimal conditions for piloting two tons of plastic and metal.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:36:29 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> Totally agree, DR
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:36:30 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Shiral> Those who I know who have had cataract surgery are ALWAYS glad they got it
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:36:40 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> And we hope KK's cardiac electrician gets her wiring behaving itself.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:36:54 PM EDT] <KK> If you also have astigmatism, will the new len also correct that?
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:36:55 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> Yeah, both my parents have said that they're glad they got it.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:37:06 PM EDT] <CapnGramma> Yep. had mine about a decade ago
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:37:06 PM EDT] <bynw> amen to that
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:37:33 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> Mom especially, because she had hell-begotten Coke-bottle trifocals preop and needs nothing but drugstore readers postop.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:37:42 PM EDT] <CapnGramma> When I had my surgery they couldn't correct for asthigmatism, just magnification
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:37:46 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> I don't think so, but it may fix some of my nearsightedness.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:37:48 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> They have lenses that do that, but they were too expensive for me
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:37:53 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I'm glad. It was like laser surgery, only the insurance covered it.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:38:15 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> Frankly if I could afford laser surgery, I'd have done it ages ago.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:38:32 PM EDT] <KK> Should fix all of your nearsightedness.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:38:34 PM EDT] <The_Bee> It will, DR.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:38:48 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I just said to give me 20/20 vision bcz I had never had it.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:38:59 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> Back when I first started wearing glasses (my late teens), I was told I was an excellent candidate for full correction until I reached that circa-age-40 stage of needing reading glasses.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:39:21 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> (Ophthalmologist told me that, so he knew whereof he spoke.)
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:39:27 PM EDT] <bynw> no laser surgery for me
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:39:46 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Nezz> Capn, I'm loving the name Menuvil. 🙂
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:40:00 PM EDT] <KK> It works well for some. But it's a different issue from cataracts.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:40:20 PM EDT] <CapnGramma> I think he told me once that it's a yiddish word for Evil One
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:40:40 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Before cataract surgery, I couldn't even see the big ␂E␂ at he top of the chart without my glasses.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:40:48 PM EDT] <KK> Is he? Evil?
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:41:16 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> The doctor doing my cataract procedure did my stepdad's cataract procedures and also did my eyelid lift last fall. (Not cosmetic; the Botox for my migraines was causing them to droop into my field of vision. I'd lost about 45% of field, but it had all happened so gradually I didn't really notice until my optometrist said, "You sweet summer child, please go get this fixed.)
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:41:17 PM EDT] <CapnGramma> Only in some video games
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:41:41 PM EDT] <KK> I had muscle surgery after the cataracts were done, to correct double vision issues.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:41:42 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> LOL, CapnGramma.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:41:45 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> The first time the doc asked what line on the chart I could read, I said what chart/
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:42:46 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> My daughter is the Hell-Begotten Pod-Child, not really because of her but that was a nickname a friend gave her when she was a baby, because any offspring of my ex-husband and me must be such.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:43:44 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I've been getting treatments for a problem in my left eye for over a year.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:43:53 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> How old is your video-game evil one, CapnGramma?
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:43:56 PM EDT] <KK> Sounds like a less than happy marriage.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:44:19 PM EDT] <KK> Macular, Bee?
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:44:22 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> Well, yeah. Hence him being my ex-husband.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:44:36 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> LOL! DR
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:44:37 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Shiral> Glad you decided enough was enough, DR
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:44:52 PM EDT] <CapnGramma> Menu is 36.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:44:53 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> Done and dusted long ago. Divorce was final in 1995.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:45:09 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> Oh, cool! The Pod-Child will be 31 this fall!
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:45:11 PM EDT] <KK> And good riddance, it sounds like.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:45:12 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I forget what the doctor calledit. Things look like they're floating and fuzzy.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:45:15 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Shiral> Much better to be happily single
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:45:21 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> Mhm.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:45:28 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Shiral> Than unhappily married
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:45:55 PM EDT] <CapnGramma> Sounde like folaters, Bee. I have some that look like a translucent collie dog
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:46:15 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> I've decided that even should I decide to be not-single again someday, I do not wish to cohabitate with anyone but my cat. I *like* having my own space and not needing to answer to anyone but myself and Her Serene Feline Majesty.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:46:20 PM EDT] <CapnGramma> floaters

[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:46:41 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Shiral> Rented fingers is w hat we call it, CapnGrandma
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:46:52 PM EDT] <The_Bee> My biggest floaters are in my right eye.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:46:55 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> Common to all of us
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:46:58 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Shiral> And DR and I are evidently in synch

[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:47:35 PM EDT] <CapnGramma> I've never been good at typing.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:47:46 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Shiral> Not my plan for today, DR
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:48:01 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> yummm
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:48:03 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Shiral> Fortunately I don't think any of us are renting floaters

[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:49:07 PM EDT] <CapnGramma> thanks for the hot tea and snacks
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:49:11 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> Along with a lot of not-safe-for-chat words.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:49:30 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> Also, OUCHOUCHOUCH
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:49:45 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> I agree with the British, hot tea makes everything better
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:49:57 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> How long ago was that, Capn?
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:50:08 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> There is certainly nothing a good cuppa will make worse except needing a trip to the loo.

[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:50:33 PM EDT] <KK> Back when we were all young and foolish.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:50:38 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I know of a girl who broke her neck singing in church, when an organ pipe fell on her.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:50:42 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> True
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:50:50 PM EDT] <CapnGramma> in mid 1990's I was told doing surgery on it had a 30% chance of quadraplegia
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:50:56 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> You're kidding
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:51:00 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> now that is bizarre, Bee
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:51:38 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> Very scary, Capn. What did you do?
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:51:38 PM EDT] <The_Bee> She was the minister's daughter. It happened in his previous church.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:51:43 PM EDT] <CapnGramma> By 2008, they'd gotten good with micro surgery, so I got it fixed then
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:51:56 PM EDT] <KK> Very good!
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:51:58 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> Good!

[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:53:08 PM EDT] <CapnGramma> Of course, living with the limitations for so long screwed up other parts of my back. So in 2021 Igot L4-S1 fuesd.
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:53:32 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Wow that's a lot of fusion
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:53:33 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Shiral> Thank goodness you didn't have to deal with being quadriplegic
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:54:15 PM EDT] <CapnGramma> They used cadaver bone in the C4-C7 fusion. Does that make me part zombie?
[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:54:21 PM EDT] <KK> Sounds like you're slowly turning into a bionic Csapn.

[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:55:05 PM EDT] <CapnGramma> I thought about claiming to be part borg, but was told it only counts if the implant has electronics.
