I worked briefly in a kitchen at a nursing home in my younger days. Several days a week we cooked up racks of bacon, and indulging was not discouraged. That part of the job was heaven. http://calamitiesofnature.com/archive/?c=209 Clear skies, Alan I think I’ll always be fine with bacon.

I'm with you -- I'm so bored with the whole 'world is going to end soon' thing. *yawn*. I'm still ok with zombies, though. And bacon. But not together. Yeah, they can be rather obscure sometimes.

I don't see me discontinuing the tear drops any time soon. My eyes get really dry at night, so I tend to use them once or twice when I wake up. I don't often need them during the day, anymore, though. I am not certain how long it actually took for the star bursts and halos to subside. I'm not out at night that often these days. My original procedure was almost a year ago at this point and my re-do was 7 months ago. Hi David! I don’t see me discontinuing the tear drops any time soon.

However, after 4 months, I am still seeing the halos and starburts when I go out at night...how long did the starburst and halos last in your case? About 6-months? A friend who had i-Lasik said his lasted a long time, and the halos just eventually subside and then disappear altogether. Mine appear to have subsided a bit, but I don't if I am just getting used to seeing them at night.

Once we've gotten past the end of the Mayan calendar, I'm wondering what we'll get for the next, upcoming "end of the world," although impending doom has become as tiresome as zombies.

Yeah, it's been a long time coming, for sure. Still, he seemed so indestructible. I think if I manage to face death with half as much courage as he did, I'll still be proud. Hell, he faced death with more courage than most people face life. Yeah, the religious bloggers and tweeters were/are sickening. Very classy. Hey Brett!
