Lasik terrified me. I'm happy with my glasses. Elective surgery is an oxymoron in my world.

 Totally agree.  i prefer my glasses to contacts.

---

 I abused contacts in my 20s & now can't wear one in my left eye.  I've worn my glasses for 20 years or so now.

I'm just REALLY bummed. I loved it. But I probably shouldn't be driving with they way they are now...

Just in from the eye dr. I hate it when they dilate my eyes. 😳 On the plus side, my eyes have changed for th better and I get to go shopping for new glasses.

---

That sounds heavenly...good for you!

I have an eye apt on Thursday.  My Lasik has reverted.  So I'm going to be back in contacts... 

---

 I don't think I've ever heard of that happening...

 Lasik fixes your current eyesight, but that doesn't mean your eyes don't continue to degrade.  I am thinking of having it redone.

 Yes, the contract that I signed says that, as long as I have my annual eye exams, any "touch-ups" are done for free.

Voting complete! I didn't realize that there were Communist, Libertarian and Marxist parties running in my riding. They did a crappy job of campaigning!

I hope you feel better ikwtds.

You too, NJN. Blah days happen to all of US. :(

DH and I bought a new car this morning. Not brand new but new to me :)

---

That's great! 

 

The "trouble-free" life expectancy of any Toyota is about 10 years and 140,000 miles.

After that, you can expect to have occasional problems in the $500 range once in a while.

(based on my experience with 4 of them, list available upon request)

 Please do not tell that to DH's Toyota Camry.  It had never given us major problems, just the usual.  It's at almost 250,000 miles.

I love my Rav!

I have a Corolla. It has 148K, I think, and is such a good car.

 Those are good cars too.

Jury duty was long and tedious. OF COURSE I got excused from the cases. Geesh. But I still had to sit there all day.

 Is it still $25 a day?

---

 Yep.  And I don't even get to keep it.  Since work pays me for the day - they get my jury pay.

That's crazy.

The $25.

Shouldn't it have increased a little over the years?

---

 You'd think.

If you're there 8 hours, that's $3.12 an hour.

Shouldn't it at least be minimum wage?

---

 That is an excellent point. 

 

Although, I get jury duty as a civic duty.  The thing that ticked me off is they would not allow anyone to bring in any food or drinks - they have coffee and vending machines.  But the vending machine selections SUCKED - nothing but horrendous junk.  I mean, not even a granola bar pretending to be healthy.  Candy bars, cookies and chips.  I think that is ridiculous - if you can buy food and eat it in the jury room, you should be able to bring snacks in.

So far, healing for those that are ill.
Glad you have a new vehicle, NAOW.
Sorry you had to sit all day, LL.
Hi to NJN, flan, Tig, IKWTDS, jlbear, SB, Lexxy, DE and all I missed on the previous page.
O4, I could never do Lasix! Scares the living carp out of me. Good luck!
We had a great weekend. Enjoyed the soon to be one year old!
Took the quilt out of the naughty corner, and put it back in this afternoon..
I'm sure it is the quilter now..

 That is stupid.

I can't remember if we could bring in outside food and drinks. I think we could.

 Were they bag checking you for fruit??

 I had KIND bars in my purse and they told me to pitch them or take them back out to the car.

What?

Did they think you were going to poison the cross examining attorney's or what?

Or the judge? 

ETA: Sorry, I am asking LL.

 I have no idea why that is the rule.  It only applies to jurors.  When I go in any other time - I can have it.

---

Maybe this is how they legally kill off jurors.  

Great granola bars!

They have granola bars and they have protein bars.  The protein bars are real nuts - not granola.  Usually very low in sugar, although DH's favorite is Dark Chocolate Cherry Cashew, and that's a tad sugary.  I've been eating the Dark Chocolate cinnamon pecan - only 5g of sugar. 

They are wonderful, with none of that yucky protein bar aftertaste that so many of them have.

And gluten free! Really a lot of granola and protein bars have a lot of fillers in them.

---

 Yep. 

Gluten Free

Non-GMO

Low glycemic

High in Fiber

 

 

I love these things.

 Oh. Ok.

I bet the kids would like them. 

I'm going to look for them.

I just remember when we first found out DS was gluten intolerant we started reading labels and we learned right away granola bars aren't as nutritious as they claim.
