Dimensional Door - Freeople Thread 14

[null and void]

I was the fastest swimmer in my group...

This thread is not going to refresh until we hit some huge number that crashes the system...Nully says that it's 2 to the 64 power, or some such factor.

Nully is just cranky about being left behind when the thread changes.

The rigors of portal travel aren't for everyone.

[Servant of the 9]

I feel like I have entered the Twilight Zone.

You have.
The question is, did you leave a trail of breadcrumbs behind you?

Yup - that sport will be gone.

Nully, don't worry about catching up anymore...no worries until the thread explodes.

[Prof Engineer]

Jim Rob just asked us to end the Hobbit Hole IV thread today at about 50,800. The previous had hit 65,535. Either way, it'll take awhile.

I feel like I have entered the Twilight Zone. You have. The question is, did you leave a trail of breadcrumbs behind you?

I do not need breadcrumbs. I am armed.

How come this reminds me of this song..
And a certain radio DJ having an intro song with a woman saying, "I've got a gun!"?

Seether - Driven Under

Do you think I’m faking
when I’m lying next to you?
Do you think that I am blind
nothing left for me to lose?
Must be something on your mind
something lost and left behind
Do you know I’m faking now?

Do you know I’m faking
when I’m lying next to you?
Do you know that I am blind to everything you ever do? Must be something on your mind
something lost for me to find
Do you know I’m faking?

Then she told me she had a gun
it sounded like she’d used it once before on him
Then she told me she had a gun
it sounded like she’d used it once before, oh man

I guess you know I’m faking
when I tell you I love you
I guess you know that I am blind
to everything you say and do
Must be something on my mind
there’s nothing left for me to hide
Do you know I’m faking?

Then she told me she had a gun
it sounded like she’d used it once before on him
Then she told me she had a gun
it sounded like she’d used it once before, oh man

We have to succumb to the feelings we can never face
I need you. I breathe you.
I can’t go through this all again.
We have to succumb to
the feelings we can never face I need you.
I breathe you. I can’t go through this…

Then she told me she had a gun
it sounded like she’d used it once before

Then she told me she had a gun
it sounded like she’d used it once before on him
Then she told me she had a gun
it sounded like she’d used it once before, oh man
Then she told me she had a gun
she says she wants to use it on me now…

Is this your own prose?

[Darksheare]

Nope.
That's the band "Seether"
They're probably better known for the song "Fine Again".

I am hoping my Freepers can give me some info.

In my youth, I shunned sunglasses, as I did not like them on my nose. And it seemed a botheration to my face.

But, here I am, in middle age (so to speak) having to go from reading glasses to progressive lenses. And now, I find I have to wear them all the time to keep from stumbling into the furniture. LOL

I am wondering if anyone has had any luck with any medical procedure that would enable a person to see without glasses.

Oh, I could just go see my local optical surgeon, who was trained in France, for his opinion. But, I would rather have your opinion first.

Hmmmmmmmmmm .. glow in the dark fish and this is safe to put in the tank with other fish??

[lodwick]

More huge threads!

What's the prob, nerds?

Thanks for the info, PE.

Up Down Lasic works.
But for some eye problems, like mine, it is not recommended.
I have a 'mild' stigmatism, and mine is a rippled retina as well as rippled cornea.
I'm also very near-sighted.
So for me, an inter-somal ring would be better for correcting the corneal deformation, but it wouldn't do anything for the retinal deformity.
I'm stuck wearing glasses, so I grabbed lightweight Flexon frames.

Nully has had Lasic surgery for nearsightedness and is very happy with it.
I don't think there is anything that will help you focus at all distances.

I suggest buying expensive frames with adjustable silicone nosepieces and spring loaded hinges. The tight spring loaded earpieces keep part of the weight from resting on the nose.

If you find anything that works, I want it too.

We kinda made FR grind to a crawl today with the Hobbit Hole thread..
At 5o,791 posts, it was starting to tickle the servers..

[Conservababe]

Oh my word, I did not understand a single word of your post.

Can you take it down a notch?

[Darksheare]

laser eye surgery can work.
But I happen to be one of the one percent that cannot do it.
An intersomal ring puts pressure on the eye to flatten out the deformities(basically).
