I've posted below a little known fact at least for me... that i stumbled on while watching the baby giraffe being born...



Where you been Kay? Been wondering about you the Kodi thread kinda died after the admin warning. Don't know if that is the reason.

When my kid sister was very young she would tell the following joke, and she would not quit until she made you laugh, even if you didn't want to.
Knock knock.
Who's there?
Ether.
Ether who?
Ether bunny. Knock knock.
Who's there?
Cargo.
Cargo who?
Cargo beep beep, run over the ether bunny.
This kid that did the Rx changed mine and he said that anyone over 65 he adds +2.5 on the bottoms and they almost make me sick to my stomach.
Darn kids. They need to stay off the lawn.

Yeah my eyes have always been better then average. When I was younger they were 20/15 and even now they aren't as bad as many my age. I think rolling everyone over a certain age into +2.5 is kind goofy plus he changed them from having astigmatism in one eye to both and I think that is what makes everything look stretched from top to bottom. Makes tv look like everyone has really long heads. It's weird.

Kids who think they know it all are a real annoyance to those of us that do.

You got that right this kid looked like he was right out of school. The VA seems to get a lot of those either that or ready to retire. They have a heck of a time getting new docs. I should go back to the one that gave me my glasses in the first place. He's a little pricey but every pair I've gotten from him were right on.

You know I got to thinking about trying the 100% VG and thought hey I've been mixing my flavors up strong then diluting them in the tank and I just happen to have a bottle of straight VG sittin here so I did my usual and fill the tank 1/3 with my steeped flavor and nic and the rest of the way with straight VG so I was ready to fill my K5 and did it with straight VG which probably makes it around 90/10 since the other is 50/50. We both like it and the K5 opend up all the way keeps up just fine. I couldn't believe Ginny even liked it. Now if I could get her off the Nautilus and on a K5 I would be all set. The VG really mellows out the flavor. I was alway leary about using it that way but I kinda like it without much PG.

I no da feelin', Pat. Spent $500 on glasses. Of course, if I wanna see I use the old ones. :(
Yep I couldn't beat the price from the VA 0 but I think I'm going to try to get them to make them just like the ones I have. If I'm not mistooken they can figure that out with their little machine they use. There is nothing wrong with the ones I have but they are not transitions which I really like and they are about 7 years old. I can see good at distance or close up. I'll see what they say.

missed a Rat attack...:(
No worries, I sporadically appear again, and again and. . . just can't seem to get rid of me, can you?

Hope you are having a great time and thanks for the song. I will have it in my head for at least 3 hours.

Well I gotta take my new VA glasses back. This kid that did the Rx changed mine and he said that anyone over 65 he adds +2.5 on the bottoms and they almost make me sick to my stomach. Makes everything look taller and the magnification is too much for me. It's a shame cause I really like the transitions but I tried to wear them all day and I had to go back to my old ones.
I hate when they think they know how I can see better than I do. "Ok, that's perfect right there.". Then they change it.

Don't worry bout catching up if you get too far behind. What part of the west are you headed to? and when? If I'm not being too nosy.
Headed back home to California. Burbank to be exact. Childhood home. Leaving Dallas Georgia. Been here in Georgia 20+ years but has never really felt like home.

A couple of visitors at the pond today, guess they're on their way back North.

They don't go north anymore, they are here year around. They sublet the Osprey nest in the Spring till the Osprey come back and evict them. Usually they are done with it by then. The babies have about a 25' first step rough incoming to the world.

Right? Some say the home is where you make it and I agree contentment can be found in many places but for me home is where the heart is; that's why I am in Arkansas, so many great childhood memories here. Doesn't hurt that it's absolutely gorgeous here either.:)
