  1. So sorry to hear. Will Keep Zach in fervent prayer!! Dialogue/commentary between Divot, Twardo & myself - "from your first Oshkosh when the three of us were riding to or from one of
  2. Thanks for providing those starter questions; I'll be phoning and/or going to see the doc this week. 1 other question though: what do you mean by: 'I'm not the "typical" patient? I'm not offended or anything, I'm just curious what you mean. if it's my disability you have in mind - although C.P. can, and often does affect sight, I don't think it did in my case. I've only been wearing these glasses a couple years...and before that my vision was fine.

  3. Along with my nearsightedness I also have a minor astigmatism. Dialogue/commentary between Divot, Twardo & myself - "from your first Oshkosh when the three of us were riding to or from one of
  4. This is my 1 and only prescription, - so far. My last actual eye exam for the sake of it being just an eye exam was a few months ago.....whenever I posted about my sight going blurry suddenly and thus being all freaked out. The doc then said: Edited to add: I've had these glasses for 2.5 years.

  5. As far as I know - and I'm not the doctor here - corrected vision can never be 20/20 (excluding lasik). It can be close to perfect, but not perfect. Dialogue/commentary between Divot, Twardo & myself - "from your first Oshkosh when the three of us were riding to or from one of
  6. I kinda wondered that too...but then i remember it's Ralffers we're talking about and he is a little weird. I would love the surgery, my right eye is -9.0, but since it's the only eye that works properly, the surgery scares me. If i fuck up my one good eye...well that would suck. This wasn't a normal eye exam per say; they needed what my eyesight in the best case scenario. The test was pass/fail kinda thing. Thus, I just didn't think to ask the obvious question that is now the subject of my original post.

  7. I'm getting the impression that I should in fact be worried... Dialogue/commentary between Divot, Twardo & myself - "from your first Oshkosh when the three of us were riding to or from one of
  8. Will-do. Cool beans. Thanks.

    GPS Units

    Ditto for me. I'm completely dependent on the thing now, unless I'm in my immediate area. I don't even pay attention to where I'm going anymore; I just wait for the beep, followed by a voice that speaks directions.

  10. Why are they so cheap ??? Not that I'm complaining, but... I just checked reservations from Chicago to Orlando, FL via expedia.com for December 26th to January 05; Airtran flights were $313 & $355, while everyone else (I.E. AA, U.S. Airways. etc,, etc...) were $900-$1,000 The price is enticing.....I'm just wondering if we're gonna get there & back alive & in 1 piece.

  11. WOW...that's a lot. Here I am asking about lasik because of my 20/32 vision...which translates to -0.5 in my left eye, & -1.0 in my right I'm no expert, but [if you're concerned with the safety of the procedure] I'm sure it's a lot better than when it came out 10 years ago. Honestly, I never heard of any problems with it from day 1. Something to consider. Dialogue/commentary between Divot, Twardo & myself - "from your first Oshkosh when the three of us were riding to or from one of
  12. The 20/32 is [b WITH glasses. I have no idea what my vision is without glasses. Dialogue/commentary between Divot, Twardo & myself - "from your first Oshkosh when the three of us were riding to or from one of
  13. Thing is - I can get by without glasses altogether. I have no problem seeing objects on the road, so avoidance is not an issue. Reading street names is the only thing that gets a little tricky, but only at times; but for that, GPS is your friend...

  14. Is that good, bad...ugly even? (scratches head) My latest eye exam was yesterday, and those are the results (with glasses.) Is that enough to start considering lasik?

  15. Divot. I'd hate to burst your bubble - I mean I know you wanted this to be insulting n' all.... but the 1 time we were hangin' out and you asked me: That was the funniest thing anyone told me in a long time. Love ya dude Dialogue/commentary between Divot, Twardo & myself - "from your first Oshkosh when the three of us were riding to or from one of
  16. Tis a shame cause i really really needed your advice on something. I was wondering if it's ok to buy my significant other a prostitute for christmas so he can finally do all the things i say 'no' to. You say 'no' to things?....

  17. I'm going to be in Florida for new years, and would very much like to be at Zhills on new year's eve. I may have a car, but am not 100% certain. It would be great if someone could give me a ride if I end up not getting the car..
  18. See what you went & did now?!?!?!.... I'm all intrigued n' stuff. Dialogue/commentary between Divot, Twardo & myself - "from your first Oshkosh when the three of us were riding to or from one of
  19. so what is this silent thread you speak of? Dialogue/commentary between Divot, Twardo & myself - "from your first Oshkosh when the three of us were riding to or from one of
  20. Thank you all for the insight. I will try a little bit of everything and will report back in a few weeks. I just weighed myself 2 days ago, and in the last 2 weeks I've gained 2 lbs. I'm happy with that rate of progression. Another thing that's happening is I'm eating more. I used eat only twice a day, whereas now I'm eating 4 times a day - and it looks like I'm going to have to move it up to 5 or 6... When am I going to find time to eat 6 times a day? - I don't know. Of course, it's only natural; you exercise and you're going to have to eat more. I'm not trying to get BIG; its just that I've always been skinny - I mean skin and bone skinny (while eating whatever I wanted when I wanted) so I'm just trying to put on like 20 lbs - to look decent. I'm not really worried about not losing the weight later (if I wanted to), although thank you for voicing that side of the equation. I have an ungodly fast metabolism; weight has never been an issue. I've had the absolute worst diet in the world for years, and I never gained an ounce.

  21. I take protein religiously right after my workouts, however, should I also be taking it on the 2 days a week I don't workout? Note: I'm still on a mission to put on weight; I was told protein can help with this IF mixed with peanut butter (of most importance) bananas, strawberries and such... So that's what I've been doing from day 1. Dialogue/commentary between Divot, Twardo & myself - "from your first Oshkosh when the three of us were riding to or from one of
  22. I just bought 1 of these, and used it for the 1st time for my full workout today. I really like and indeed am having fun with this thing, but there us 1 thing that's confusing me... When I was in the middle of my workout, it was displaying a heart rate of 49-51, while at rest - and 77-80 when being active (in this case lifting weights.) However, when I went back later and checked the history, under daily - it says my average heart rate was 128, and max was 134. ? Also, does anyone no how to set this thing p in detail? I got all the basic info in, but want to know how to take full advantage of the various programs and whatnot. The vague instruction booklet is of no use.
