OFF TOPIC: Major griping

You certainly do entertain me.... I'm glad I'm not the only one that didn't
'get' lasagne in an earlier post

PS I some times watch 'Jerry Springer' for a good laugh and every now and
again there is an accent that I just can't understand at all. It is much
easier to try and read it at my own pace. lol

Some G O O D N E W S today
Went to have my eyes checked-Dr said that I am NOT as near sighted as
the last time (his records show 1999) This was quite a surprise as I
always got 'worse'

AND I can get 20/20 on BOTH eyes for the first time in YEARS!!!!!!!!!
((Right now the best is 20/50) AND I will get 20/20 using BOTH eyes
for the bifocals

AND he used a computer to double check everything. I felt like a kid
in the candy store by the time I left.
Another nice part--this will only cost $300.00 total--last time is was
$600.00 (frames alone then were $100.00----have absolutely worn these
out so the new frames will be $70.00) Neither DH nor I could remember
the last time my glasses were under $400.00. Now for the proof in the
pudding--it'll be about 2 weeks until they are here. he did say I may
still need to take my glasses off when threading a SM needle as I have
the progressive bifocals--but I can LIVE with that as long as I can go
back to reading without trouble (even the newspaper ; )
Got home and literally slept the day away

AND DH got the fluid drained from one knee and lots of Novocain, etc,
to help it heal..in 2 weeks he will get the other one drained. He was
NOT limping when he got home YAY!! DR says there is NO guarantee this
will last very long but right now it is the best 'stop gap' they have
until he is able to have the surgery.

Not too bad a day overall.
Hugs

Poor, poor Butterfly. I'm so sorry the docs keep telling you these
things you would really rather not hear- my silliest son (they both

have

their moments) keeps telling me to just quit going! Sadly, that's
not
really a great alternative. Sending you lotsa big, fluffy, warm hugs
and prayers for all these medical tangles and troubles to get
straightened out soonest. The puppers send sloppy doggie-breath

kisses,

too.

RCTQ- Houston 2004..... A good friend will come and bail you out of
jail.... but, a true friend will be sitting next to you saying,

"Damn...

that was fun!"

We don't have closed captions, but I never thought of that any way so thanks

regional English accents or some people who have English as
second language and still have heavy foreign accent. The cc
helps.

I gave up after the first one. I have no idea how to read it, I guess
reading 'phonetic' english is not a skill I have!!!

except when they put words that don't match what the speaker is saying.
have you noticed they do that once in a while? I can't think of a real
example right now. how to these things work, automatic voice recognition
or is there a person typing it out?

A person types it out and sometimes they get bored and things get funny! I
notice this when at the gym. They keep the CC on for those without
headphones.
