Have a great trip Jennifer!

My eyes are minue 13.5. I think even with the surgery I'd still need glasses. Maybe when I get cataract surgery I will know what like without glasses is like!

When I had my eyes done, the doctor told me they could correct up to a negative 14. That was in 2001.

Lasik was the best money I've ever spent on myself. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. My vision was 20/800! EEK! I was a -6.5 in contacts. I'm now 20/20! Love it!

I have a bit of good news finally. My husband works in Philly. It's an hour commute each way. He was hired to work in Delaware, but things changed and in June he had to start work in Philly. The extra cost for gas, train, and subway tokens have hit us pretty hard, then he got city tax deducted from his check. UGH!

He's been asking for an increase to cover the city tax as others have received it, but not him. He's been asking since June.

Well, today he asked again and finally got the increase to cover the city tax! Woooo Hooooooo!

That's great Jen!

 

[katscradle]

Dinner was great!
Now I need to change over to the laptop.
Boy this thread is moving slow today.
I don't think that is necessarily a bad thing though.

Hmmmmm.... it's been quiet around here. I wonder what happened to Terrie.

I don't know about Terrie (Hope everything is okay) but we had power problems at work today. A transformer blew on the pole outside of my window. It was like a giant sparkler, only a lot more dangerous!

That's not fun.
Talk about scary, I can only imagine the noise.

I've been thinking about lasik as well, more votes for the "DO IT" column. And congrats on getting more for the tax at least. Hope he gets more for the commute and tolls, too.

Great news Jen, every bit helps! Commuting costs are crazy, Vinny can take the Long Island Rail Road to work for free, and can use all NYC public transportation for free.....but, do you think he takes advantage of it???
No, he prefers to drive because it's easier. It may be easier, but it costs so much more.

Men.

 

[katscradle]

I can't believe it's just Todd and myself here.

I'm cheating. I'm eating dinner in front of the keyboard....

 

[kimisabella]

Men.

You got that right

 

[katscradle]

I'm cheating. I'm eating dinner in front of the keyboard....

I inhaled mine so I could get back here quick.
I thought everyone would be coming in for that posting war.

I can't believe its already Thursday night...not that I mind, but the week went by faster than normal.

I have no problem with white flags in tonight's posting war.

 

[katscradle]

You got that right

Since you seconded that I will third it, and I think that makes it a law.
Can't live with them, can't live without them.

Can't live with them, can't live without them.

I thought it was:
Can't live with 'em. Go to jail if you kill 'em.

 

[kathrna]

Well, unfortunately, I am living w/o 'em. But what does my ticker say? 130? 129 to go? I just put it there so I can see it every once in a while. We'll turn around and do it again next summer, too. This war is taxing.

That's a new one to me.
However it works to.
I am now on my laptop ready for survivor.

Makes it harder when there are only a few here.

 

[kathrna]

It's fun spending time with you all though. It has helped pass the time. And time seems to pass ever so slowly. This is my adult interaction for the day. I have my monthly milestones to look forward to. Tomorrow my mom comes for a visit. In November we go to Disneyland and home. In December we're at DAP. I need a something for January. Maybe we'll go back for President's Day weekend. Then in February he "should" be home.

Hi Katherine and Todd!
