*improvise congratulatory

*improvise congratulatory dance ceremony to congratulate Randy with... then peer at Gary*

ooh... that looks nasty... :/

A "very small" tear in the retina in a non-imaging portion.

Was that the bit you didn't want to quote, David? If it was, I'll need to add you to my list of I'm-so-sorry-to-hear-that's also.

I just hope you don't find guano,

*peer at Gary's eye again* erm... yes... well... me too, David

which I understand from your thread at Seti is a real possibility

Oh! Our bats! :) well yes... I seeget what you mean now. Sniffing at it was a real treat I assure you.

 

What shall we talk about now?  Cute baby hippos?

My only problem with talking about cute baby hippos, Kathryn, is if we do it between the cute baby hippo and the mum version of its cuteness *boggle Gary's eyes for him so he can keep up* who is decidedly not cute from either the outside of her, or indeed her inside whilst we do.

In fact, the only thing that fails a cuteness test more flamboyantly than she does, can be seen first hand whilst straying between her and her possessive other half.... or possibly that gorilla if you try to take his paddling pool away.

 

Did you happen to watch the clip that came on after that about the baby elephant being rescued, WK? That was also another... awww...!! :)

*pause to go gaga over Giraffe*

 

You watching F1 too

That's code for something isn't it, Mikey? ;)

 

Hi Jonathan :) Are  you still on holiday?

 

edit: I'd say something to you lot out there too if you were in here, but you're not so I won't

edit of edit: ... yet ... ;)

Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.

I love your posts Annie.  I never fail to grin no matter how I feel.

 

I was thinking of Fiona, the preemie hippo at the Cincinnati zoo.

It is an art practiced at one time, in your part of the world, at Kyalami SA.

But you're obviously too young to know that.

Why thank you for asking.  Next day had some feelings of irritation off and on.  Two days on and nothing at all.  Nothing worse than when you spend all day reading too fine print under a light that glares.  All in all, nothing to fear.  Oh and they do it all to you while you are fully awake and alert.  Yes, they give you topical and you literally don't feel it, other than some cold right under the eyelid.  Apparently some can get an ice cream headache, but I didn't.

Annie, I expect the part David didn't want to quote was about having something shoved in between the eyeball and the eye socket.  Sounds much worse than it is.  Eyeballs are actually rather lose in the eye sockets so there is room.  I didn't mention the eyelid spreader because it isn't much of a thing at all.

As to Cryo vs. Laser, cryo works better, but it can leave a larger blind spot if they have to work on an imaging area of the eye.  In my case it was on the top of the eyeball, and far enough forward (towards my front) that it was out of the image area.  Remember lenses reverse and flip, the nearest imaging area would have been of my lower eyelid, and we don't see much there that is important.  In my case they may not even have been able to point the laser into the eye to hit the right spot.

Anyway all done.  Now just wait a couple of weeks of "light duty" until it knits up to full strength.

Morning AnnieT,My only

Morning AnnieT,

My only problem with talking about cute baby hippos, Kathryn, is if we do it between the cute baby hippo and the mum version of its cuteness

Actually that is quite an interesting point isn't it? Some babies are so cute when young, yet grow up looking decidedly different. Then again the reverse can also be true. And that's just us humans folks, although there are similar characteristics in the Animal kingdom as well :-)

Would an improvised congratulatory dance ceremony include a grass skirt, banging a drum, a spear, and a Lei, and a conga round round the local Cul de Sac?? I only ask because the last time someone tried that, an old Gent at No.37 wanted to know if grass skirts were the same as kilts, and had to be given a glass of sherry to calm down!

Hey it's cooler today, yay!!!!!

I'd say something to you lot out there too if you were in here, but you're not so I won't

Altogether now, key of C,

1,2,3, go

"And you can't make me, no you can't!!"*

*Pssst - don't tell her I'm hiding behind the sofa OK?
