She sound too stupid to be cute in the email. We are waiting for her to call us. So far she has not been smart enough to call us back. We have left two messages.

I think she was fired from the DMV and the IRS for being to useless.

Probably the only proof of insurance she has seen she was told to keep in her car and thinks all proof of insurance should look like that.

Reading? Ain't nobody got time for dat.

Well Glen, if she needs it you have to have it whether you have a car or not. It is just how it is. She probably doesn't need a pillow when she sleeps either.

Had an eye appointment today. Says I can still see good, but come back in 6 months to check eye pressure. It is good now but was high 6 months ago.

Go in at 5am in the morning for my eye surgery.

They are going to replace the vitreous fluid in my left eye.
Say recovery may take anywhere from 1 day to 6 weeks.
Either way will be looking like a pirate for a couple of weeks.

Don't know how long before I will be able to read and post.
So you will be without my crude and rude attempts a humor, (that's what she said).

In a couple of months after it is all healed up they are going to do cadillac surgery on that eye too.
Then I am supposed to be able to see as good as I did before I stepped on the freakin nail, Yay.

Filter change as well? You should always change the filter at the same time!

The technical terms for the procedure is Pars Plana Vitrectomy, Membrane Peel, Endo Laser, Left Eye.

Don't know if that includes ZDDP additive, filter, or even a new magnetic drain plug. They didn't even say what viscosity or brand they used. Hope they use at least what's recommended in the owner's manual.

I've got a baseball cap that's black with a skull and crossbones on it.

You can keep the peg leg idea, was too close to that for reals with the foot thing.

Oh, and the billowy shirt with ruffles is not an option either.

Evidently whatever the juice is they put in my eye will get replaced with juice my body makes. Won't be able to see very good thru the eye until it replaces their temporary juice with it's own.

Well, I finished all of the neighbor's windows as well as cleaning her ginormous hot tub that hasn't been used in years. Hubby disconnected the drain so I couldn't just use water.

Cleaned it with rags and the magic cleaning solution by hand. I used my fast wax detailer on it and it looks darn good now.

I suspect she will have more tasks for me before the week is done.

Yikes!

I'm just glad that she decided to leave it in place. She had asked earlier this year about me taking it out. I'm pretty sure a big hole would need to be cut in the wall to remove it unless it was cut in pieces first.

Was just thinking the hot water would melt the wax off the tub and it would mix with the water and whomever took a dip would get a coating of wax. Albeit a thin one.

The doctor seemed pretty confident that it would go well, but then again, it's not his eye.

He said that since I've already had some laser work done on my retina it will help to keep the retina from tearing so that is a complication I shouldn't have to worry about. Said as with any eye surgery the main concern he always has is infection because of opening the eye. Even it if is only two small holes.

I'm just glad they are putting me completely under and not using just a local for poking around inside my eyeball.
