Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Thank you, Amy and JZ. Though I'd take it further to a "WTF, 2011?" place.

Well, with 2011 being rotten to so many of us, can we hope 2012 will be better?

I said that about 2010. Look where that got me. (Though I hope it's not the same for the rest of you.)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

My doctor actually announced a diagnosis of diabetes as good news. She said, given you eyesight symptoms, another possibility could have been MS.

uh. happy happy clap clap?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My god people, stop. I'm so sorry to hear about your diagnosis, LeN, but yay for no MS? Interference with your sight must be nervous-making.

All the strength to you, MFNLaw.

Much -ma to you and DH, Maria.

LeN - sorry for the diagnosis. I definitely recommend taking a targeted nutrition, etc. course -- can probably find one through your health plan. Free and informative - I learned lots of stuff I didn't know I never knew.

And, Toddson, adding to the chorus of people with relatives who've had positive experiences with cataract surgeries.

My goodness.

What can you tell by what browser a person uses?

I KNEW IT. ALL THE TIME.

Man, my neck feels like it's being squeezed by a vise.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I may or may not have diabetes, but I have been doing a fairly low glycemic diet and I do feel a bit better. I had a high fasting blood sugar and normal H1C and then 3 months later both were normal. So, I am in a wait and see pattern. I think I would have rather had the medicine.

My mother had successful cateract surgery, as did my grandpa. Their problems were more from the glaucoma

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Remember the crazy astronaut lady? Here's what she's been up to since: Former NASA Astronaut Lisa Nowak Expelled from Navy

Nowak will retire from the Navy with an "other than honorable" discharge, which will also lower her pay grade and could affect her eligibility for veterans' benefits, reported the Associated Press. Her rank will be demoted from captain to commander when her retirement takes effect on Sept. 1.

A statement released Thursday (July 28) by Assistant Secretary of the Navy Juan Garcia said that Nowak "demonstrated a complete disregard for the well-being of a fellow service member," and did not conduct herself as is expected of Navy officers, reported the AP.

There's sumthin' wrong with that woman....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What can you tell by what browser a person uses?

Bah!

I will accept this, though:

The report suggests that people using Explorer, the built-in, default browser for Windows-based computers, may be more resistant to change.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Or employed in Corporate America.
