My DH has this. He is no longer able to drive. He is diabetic and went through a period of denial - quit taking his meds, etc. He neglected his eyes and this is the result of that. Had they caught it sooner, he would be able to see better. For now, he gets injections in his eyes and laser eye surgery. He has had several of each since the first of last year. He uses magnifying glasses all the time. We just keep them laying around everywhere. His eyes are both better than when he was first diagnosed. They aren't promising anything, but as long as he keeps having small improvements and they continue the treatment, we are thankful. Bad thing is that we were planning to retire early, but now we can't. I have to continue to work to get health insurance until I am 65. I have a heart condition and he has diabetes and the eye problem. We are both uninsurable for all practical purposes. That is what hurts both of us. We worked so hard saving to retire and having enough to do a lot of traveling. Now - who knows. But, you caught yours early, so you should be in good shape. Just be sure you go to the doctor often to have them checked.

lisa, I love the lights that suzie posted, too. I think though, I'm not chic enough lol. What about these? Any votes? No bling, but I think it works with the table... http://www.lampsplus.com/products/Franklin-Iron-Works-42-and-three-quarter-inch-Wide-Island-Chandelier__p7862.html http://www.lampsplus.com/products/Belcaro-Collection-25-and-one-half-inch-Wide-Six-Light-Chandelier__87940.html http://www.lampsplus.com/products/Fredrick-Ramond-Bella-Donna-6-Light-Chandelier__k5233.html http://www.lampsplus.com/products/Marquette-Collection-Six-Light-Chandelier__98202.html http://www.lampsplus.com/products/Kelham-Hall-Collection-27-inch-Wide-5-Light-Chandelier__k5010.html Maybe too whimpy? http://www.lampsplus.com/products/Treville-Collection-Six-Light-Island-Chandelier__02042.html Sorry, I don't know how to embed photos directly from websites...

Willy-wagtail's nests are only about 5cm across, usually made with spiderwebs and often not very high. My guess is a peewees nest but not sure. My book tells me they are made with mud and about 5m -15m high. Bearded dragons have small teeth and could bite. Smaller ones shouldn't harm you but several years ago I read in the paper about a young boy who lost part of a finger when bitten by a big one. I have my doubts about a bearded dragon actually biting off part of a finger, maybe it was a case of mistaken identity, but I believe a big one could draw blood. My father used to regulary hand feed the lizards at his place without a problem.

If you are a DIYer, here are some plans that you could easily modify to get a similar look: Farmhouse bed I've made a couple of versions of this bed so far and it is very easy with minimal tools needed. You could add some decorative molding to it if you want it a bit more fancy. The plans are available in other sizes as well on that site. You could even make a bench similar to the one shown - she has plans for something similar there as well and it is on my Spring DIY project list.
