    Thanks, John. I am waiting on a call back from her supervisor. The exchange was unexpected and disappointing.

    You were perfectly correct in your response. Calling you "Dude" was very unprofessional.

    Yep. I said, "First I am not "Dude." and second we are done talking here. I expect better from a so called professional." She probably thinks I'm an asshole but I kept my voice down and used her proper name the whole exchange. I had a very nice talk with the principal about this.

    I have encountered some real "Gems" in the teaching community over the years. There is a pretty comedic story in my collection thread concerning the time I "had dinner with the President" as one example. It is quite amazing how obtuse supposedly well educated professionals can be at times. Then again, maybe it's because they are dealing with children so much!!! LOL LOL

    I've been having some trouble with my eyesight for about a year now (just after I got new glasses)--I have problems reading, both print and on the computer. I have to take my glasses off to read either. I went to the optometrist this morning and it seems that my incipient cataracts are growing somewhat. He did give me a new prescription for my right eye and I'll be getting a new lens soon. He said that if it continues to worsen, I may need surgery. Getting old is a bitch.

    Sorry to hear that John. And yes, getting old can be tough. I find myself unable to do some of the things I used to be able to do without a second thought and it takes adjusting to it.

    Hell I'm still young and can already tell my eye site is getting bad. (Staring at a computer for 8 hours a day then reading all night probably doesn't help them relax)

    Getting LASIK close to two years ago was a game-changer for me. If my kids would bump my glasses, I would become incredibly nauseous, and at times needed my glasses adjusted several times a week. So thankful those days are behind me.

    It's not medicine, it's a new prescription for my glasses. Thanks for the concern.

    My mistake. I read medicine. I guess I need glasses as well

    Hope then the new glasses are enough for you, John.

    John I had cataract surgery on one eye at 49 and the other done a couple of years ago at 56. And it is wonderful. Altho I have to wear readers, for the first time since elementary school no more glasses. Not to drive, not to watch TV etc. Surgery was quick and I'm 20/20 for anything over about four feet. And for the first time I can wear real sunglasses!

    Everyone-

    Just heard directly from Lot Guy....he is having some personal issues right now and he needs to step back and take care of his stuff. He will be back fully on the scene here after a bit, so please try to give him some space for awhile.

    Dragline : Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me - with nothin'.
    Luke : Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand

    Thanks! I won't have the surgery until the doctor tells me I should.

    Matt (Lot Guy), hope everything turns out okay for you. You're in my prayers.
