was that recently Zelda? - and for what is called 'lazy eye'.


hope everything goes well dg ... keep the hugs going ....

They just tighten the eyeball muscles so that their little eyes don't roll around in their head. Apparently, my child is losing her depth perception because her eyes aren't aligning properly.

Dammit.
I'm also feeling the effects of "Stick Abuse".

Sorry. What might be the cause of this... unbalance?

Am - I hope your headache goes away. Can you get a chance to rest your eye for a few minutes? That helps me sometimes, although, closing my eyes when I'm teaching can be decidedly dangerous.

Curly - I hope all goes well for your sister. 4 boys, yikes, although, I've heard they're a lot less work than girls!

DesertGrandma - I hope all goes well with your granddaughter. It's such an awful feeling when they tell you your little one needs surgery of any kind. Hopefully this last one will do the trick, 3rd times a charm and all that.

We're on our 6th day of flu watch with my 2nd grader. Now it's gone into a croop-like cough where every once in awhile she sounds like she's barking. They've put her on meds and she is finally doing better. Hopefully, she'll be back to school tomorrow. I am fairly certain she's getting bored with me!

I hope not. I was just kidding. It's just a very large cap-gun.

I would never promote violence. Maybe I could find her a fire hose instead.

haha! careful about that as I am a competitive shooter and trainer (see profile pics), and that is widely known. I have made one contact at HR, it needs to escalate.

anything to help fuel the fire would no doubt be in your favour - keep yourself positive through all this....

I'd like to help, but I'm not sure I know enough about working in the military. I suspect some of the processes and customs are different from industry or academia, where my experience is. Still, feel free to drop me a pm if you want to discuss details without posting them here.
