I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

It's such a nice treat to receive 'good' mail.  Enjoy Blue.

MRI done. Now on to the waiting for the results. I may be able to call for them on Thursday before my onco leaves town. Not expecting anything bad, but you never know.

So how does everyone like the new table format for "Active Topics"? For some reason, I am needing time to get used to it. Maybe I wish the outlines were stronger so as to stop my severe astigmatism in its tracks. I like the idea, though, and you can see more on the page.

I don't like the new format for Active Topics, either. It's too "busy" and difficult to find anything.

i have just been coming here and checking a few other topics since the format change so I checked out the new spread sheet-oops I mean Active Topics. It is different, that's for sure. I wonder if there was a way to address everybody's concerns without getting out the wayback machine.

Athena, for years the eye doctor and I had decided to ignore my astigmatism because toric contacts are so expensive. About two years ago I went to a new eye doctor who talked me into the toric contacts. It was like getting my first pair of glasses.  It does hurt every time I have to pay for them though.

Sun - I wear toric lenses -still blind as a bat....

....and still unimpressed by the table format. You are right. It looks like an Excel spreadsheet. It's also confusing, because the name of the OP should come first, THEN that of the latest poster. Also, some information is repeated (such as "in forum"). I agree with Riley - it's too busy.

Good to see you again Artsee - I was wondering where you'd been.

Rosemary: you name an eye problem, I have it. Astigmatism, estravism a lazy eye and myopia and I'm not a candidate for laser surgery due to a "rolling astagmus" (sp.) I'm not color blind, that's about all you can say about my eyes. Needless to say, I'm a horrendous driver and both I and the world have been safer places ever since I got rid of my car. I'm a hopeless tennis player. And I've got abysmal visual memory. I think that explains my preference for big animals over small ones. :-)

Also sitting here indoors. It has been overcast all day.

Hey Sandy - great news!!!

Athena - I'm here, just actually doing some work for a change

Here's wishing to boring results for all at last call.

Here's to boring.

Athena

I am really myopic. They don't use an eye chart. They don't tell me how bad it is uncorrected. I always have to wait while they order contacts, even samples. At least it is correctable to 20/20-20/40.

Congratulations on boring!!  May we all have boring results for the rest of our lives!

Yeah, boring.  Expecting Mary to report same soon!

Eye Exams - I HATE the part that is the "better one, or two"- so often I can't tell the difference.  Always feel like I'm failing a test.

RAIN, RAIN, RAIN - this is really getting silly.  Also had to take out woolies I packed away, too cheap to turn on heat. Spring? Oh. really????

Momine -- I promise you, the pressure test is absolutely painless!  I've had it done several times.

I put off getting contacts for a long time because I was SO afraid of having to touch my eye, so I know what you mean!  Finally, 3 years ago, I had laser surgery to correcrt nearsightedness and astigmatism.  I have to wear glasses for close-up work, reading etc., but it's kept me from having to get the dreaded bifocals!

Speaking of the weather -- after a few really, really warm and humid days, we had a jolly thunderstorm last evening and today it's clear, sunny and coolish!
