Well DGma, you know that you will have to read this little girl some beautiful stories to relax her anxieties.

Abbey is in no pain, and very little discomfort. I must say she loooks kinda funny, one eye is very dilated, the other normal. I think both mommy and child willhave haing a restful nap soon. They both need it.

Hopefully this will be the final surgery. Only time will tell.

Now I go to eat.

Glad to see everything went well

Now you have to "spoil her rotten" (as we say) with presents and sweets, and all the good stuff (which you probably already do anyway)

WooooooHoooooo

I have a new nephew! He was born last night, 10 lbs 3oz and 22 inches long. My sister and her baby and family are doing well. I really, really, want to be there.

Glasses and patches don't work for her particular problem.

Kazbats, I know that cough. Hope your daughter gets much better really soon.

Yvan, I save the stick for those who really need it.....like some members here.

. We don't know what causes her problems, other than a weakness of her eye muscles...

Now I go to eat.

glad all is well - plenty of chocolate, hugs and cuddles will do very well indeed....

another good trick for resting the eyes, particularly when you've been reading or staring at the screen :
take a deep breath and hold it, simultaneously tensing all the muscles you can : arms, stomach, legs, etc. and squeezing your eyes shut tightly. hold it for a few seconds, then let out your breath and relax all your muscles. the reason this works is that the involuntary muscles (in your eyes) are contracted along with the voluntary ones (arms, etc.) and when you relax them all at once it forces the involuntary muscles to relax as well. i do this and it helps a lot. it does make you look a bit foolish though so best to do it when you're alone.

i'll try anything at least once ....

Right now... pulling off last month's KPI reports

(Psst... Ravenne... you need very plain/dark chocolate (say 90% cocoa minimum) to tempt GeoffC

)

We went to see Star Trek.

And generally, with us, it's like this:

Ohh, lots of good movies in the cinema! We should go and see them!

[add a few months]

oh, that movie is no longer shown, that movie is no longer shown, that movie is no longer shown....

To make a short story even shorter, we generally plan to go but never go.

At least 80%cocoa and dark fer me too! And that beer also has to be darker. I don't like blonde in any way.

We are the same and then we have to rent the DVD and it is never the same as it would be on the big screen. And half the time we never get around to watching it anyway.

I would dearly love to go see the new Star Trek film -- was it good?
