Rotten retinas. 14 operations, 3 of which were vitrectomies. (Horrible!)
I have one partially working eye now and one that can barely detect light.

Bugger! Bugger twice!

Edit: I presume you have text to speech software under control?

Trying to find out if I can run SimCity 4 on Windows 7 64bit.

I have flashlight, but I don't like its light

Too "cold". Too "neon".

Okay, I admit it, I'm too lazy to go find anything in the dark. Back in high school, it was a good excuse to go to bed early without doing homework

Simple - Keep the flashlight by your bed, and then use said flashlight to find the matches for the candle.

How awful! Yet here you are with such a positive attitude.

Goldie cat saved my life!

Goldie cat has developed a nighttime routine - she waits for me to go to bed & get all snuggled in. Then she hops up, snuggles against my ribs, and I wrap an arm around her. She stays put all night. Like a live teddy bear that purrs.
In the morning, she wakes me before the alarm with wet nose kisses and by gently patting my face with her paw.

So, last night began as usual. We were all snuggled down, and I was just falling asleep when Goldie abruptly sat up and began reaching for my chin & neck - but never touching me. Like she was trying to point to something. I groggily swiped my hand over my neck - and to my inexpressible horror lifted a spider off my neck and flung it off the bed. It was BIG! I put on the light, and Goldie and I thoroughly explored the bed covers before settling back down to sleep! We never did find that spider, but I'm planning to do some spraying tonight around the headboard and under the bed. Yikes!

Wow! Goldie is a hero!

Be sure to find it. I remember reading that In drought, black widows come inside looking for cool moist places. Or a wolf spider. I hate to go to a bathroom and find those monsters on the floor around the bathroom. !!!!

Just redid my website. Now I'm heading to bed.

We slept on an air mattress on the first floor last night, afraid of trees falling on the house. Candles and matches strategically placed everywhere. Woken by hungry cats; power on, basement dry. Very thankful.

I also found this new review of my book:http://www.rundpinne.com/2011/08/book-review-flesh-and-grass-by-libby-cone.html

Very thankful for that, too.

I am wondering if I am the only person in the Western world neither interested in an iPad nor any other tablet like device.

Right now I find that my laptop, e-reader and smart-phone covers what I need to get done. I haven't jumped the tablet bandwagon yet.

Just had my father explain to me how to get to my physiotherapist on my bicycle tomorrow. I told him beforehand that I wanted the easiest route. After explaining the route to me with the help of Google Maps and me writing it down he told me there was an easier but longer route. When writing down the directions it's about half the length of the first route. Looking at the map it's only a little bit longer so I'm cycling the easiest route tomorrow, which probably ends up being faster because I have to check the directions less often.
