New glasses = can't stop reading!!
Comments (6)Mora, I guess in a sense, what you did is what I was trying to do. My first pair of bifocals caused me grief, and even though I was still wearing them, I never got used to them. Constant headaches all the time. So I started taking the glasses off to read and squinting to see the computer. These glasses are actually functioning the way they should, and I'm so glad about that! I have to adjust a bit to the movement when looking down, but am getting there as opposed to the last pair. Something tells me that switching eye doctors last year may also have been an excellent move. BP, It appears that the reading part on the lens is slightly less than half, but from what I understand, you can have your eyeglass provider change it slightly. The 'progressive' lenses cost me an extra $50.00, but I went to two optical places, and the final price for my glasses would have been around $600.00. Then I checked out another place in Halifax which DH and I have noticed lawyers use quite a bit, and the price was $279.00!!! I also have astigmatism in both eyes. My left eye has a tiny , tiny 'hole' in the middle which my optician is watching carefully - pardon the pun! LOL!! I've been wearing glasses since I was 4 years old. Practically the only piece of jewelry I wear!...See MoreCan't stop thinking about something in the news . . .
Comments (15)I was in the Marine Corps w/ a woman whose infant daughter was killed by the day care provider. It was horrible. As if that weren't bad enough it was the 2nd baby that died (was killed) in her care. The death of the 2nd child was exactly 1 year to the day following the death of the first child which was also the 2nd anniversary of the death of the PROVIDERS OWN child! And the state actually let her have a license! I do believe that God has a plan for everything I just wish I knew what the plan was/ is in certain situations when something so tragic happens but I believe and have faith anyways. DS1 was in daycare when he was born but I was fortunate in that it was a daycare across the parking lot from where I worked and my job afforded me the opportunity to leave my desk and go over whenever I chose. When DH wanted to participate in the daycare situation more he found a daycare across the field from where he worked. When the Dr. I worked for opened up about his son's suicide it coincided w/ my MIL retiring. Over the years of working w/ his elderly patients 2 recurring themes came up: The biggest regret that that any of them had was not spending enough time w/ their children when they were young. The 2nd was how quickly time goes by and to seize the moment. I radically re-arranged my schedule after that. Boop - I'm the same way. Our children have only been in 1 other persons care - our dear friends who have children the same age. I count my blessings each day and I hate the fact that there are sooooooo many parents that want to be able to do the same thing but simply can't do to their individual situations....See MoreI can't stop the tears!
Comments (59)Listen to Wildchild. You need to clarify your legal rights, but even in the most landlord-friendly states, a landlord can't evict without proper written notice, and a tenant can make things very difficult for the landlord. Have you seen an attorney? I'll bet there's a legal aid in your city that could help. I agree with Wildchild, the pets aren't the issue, so don't treat them as if they were. I'd spend the weekend gathering up documents you'll need. Get your original lease, if you have it, and any subsequent leases. Sit down with a piece of paper and summarize your dealings with this landlord. When did you move in, when was the rent increased, did you ever have discussions about the pets before this, and so on. Then, on Monday, go talk to an attorney. I'll tell you, if you lived in Massachusetts, you could drag this out for six months with very little problem. I know that Massachusetts is very tenant-friendly, so you might not get as much time in your state, but don't make it easy for her. Don't just up and move out when she tells you to, unless she's crossed every T and dotted every I....See MoreI can’t stop thinking about the boys in the cave
Comments (56)Here is a piece from the NYT about one of the boys trapped in the cave. Some of the children and the coach were stateless, refugees, though without refugee status, from Myanmar. It is an incredibly poignant story at this particular time in history when so many people must flee their birthplace to find safety. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/10/world/asia/thailand-cave-soccer-stateless.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=first-column-region&region=top-news&WT.nav=top-news...See More- 6 years ago
