  John Mayer Stinks

  i can't stand the guy or his songs.

  his voice is grating.

  what's worse, my local radio station plays one of his songs like every 15 minutes, and every other station is either country or classical music.

  omg jo! that was hilarious!! however, i think it was also funny because somewhere in there "F*ck you John Mayer!! F*ck you right up the ass!!!" was thrown in. that and the impersonation were almost enough to send me over the edge. however, i do find that whenever we're together we laugh hysterically. i still think our Queen impersonation was better though LOL

  tattoos...did you rebel and get one?

  after i left the "troof" the first thing i did was run out and get a tattoo.now ,some 18 years later i still dont regret it.i even have gotten a couple of new ones in the past couple of years......i mean not that i am covered in them,but i think if a women has them ,there is nothing wrong with that has long as they are not all over everywhere.ie...neck,face or lower arms......... i just think it is sexy on a man..( a few....not on the same areas as the women ..ie..face and neck as well.

  ) but for a women to have them all over her is not attractive....i think for a women to have a couple in a suddle place..( like for your partner to see or find.lol) is sexy as well...this girl in our town, has them covering her face and arms.i just think she looks scary......(i do also think that they must be done professionally and kept realistic.

  )...i know your not to judge a book by its cover but, this girl wonders why, parents will not let children to her house to play with her child?

  i got a very small one on my toe the first year i was out. just a small sign of rebellion, but i love it and get compliments on it in the summer. i'm hoping to get a larger one on my lower back sometime this year--one to symbolize my brother, sister and me. we've gotten so close the last couple of years, that one would really be special.

  what i got out of the conversation with my doc is that even though overall your vision may be better, often times the quality of your vision isn't as good. how i understood that is, as an example, i notice a difference in the quality of my vision between my contacts and glasses. often times the quality is much better with my glasses--much more clear and crisp. also along with that, take into consideration halos and glare. my best friend just had her LASIK about 2 months ago. she can no longer wear dark sunglasses because she complains that the glare is so bad she can't drive with them on.

  what can be hard to grasp is that there are so many perceptions of "20/20 vision". you can have 5 different patients who can all see to read the 20/20 line on an eye chart, but it doesn't mean they all see it the same way. for some it's an easy task, for others, they eek it out. does that make sense?

  we had a busy clinic day, so i didn't get to discuss the study with her all that much and now we're both on vacation til next week.

  A Secret about DF'ing that Elders will not tell you.

  by Amazing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one of the big issues affecting ex-jws is being shunned by their close relatives.

  this can be especially painful for parents, children or siblings.

  the jw relative may even make some exceptions to associate in the name of "necessary" business, but then later on their conscience "pricks" them, and they realize that they have pushed the envelope too much and they withdraw their association altogether ... or ... the society comes out with some article or the co comes to town, and manage to ding on some issue that make jws feel guilty about associating with df'd and da'd relatives.

  i agree with gadget's earlier statement. they will threaten with taking away privileges. this has just happened this past week with my parents. since i've just faded, no da'ing or df'ing, there hasn't been a problem with keeping up my relationship. however, i've recently been busted for smoking which i don't do anymore. i explained that to my parents when they questioned me about it. my dad went on to say that their local elders had gotten a report from someone who saw me smoking a few months back and that if it were true and/or i was still smoking they would have to cut off contact with me or my dad would be removed as a servant.

  wow, congrats to everyone who's had the surgery successfully. LASIK technology is certainly amazing. Corrective surgery has certainly come a long way. The clinic i work at now doesn't perform any type of corrective surgery, but my previous clinic did. Most of the employees there had the procedure done--it was very inexpensive for us. I would recommend that anyone considering it visit a reputable surgeon who will answer all of your questions honestly. Understanding exactly what is going to happen, what to expect, and possible outcomes is very important. Often times, people had unrealistic expectations for their surgery. Not everyone will see 20/20. I don't know of any doctor who will guarantee you that either. If you read the fine print or the "fine print" of commercials, it states that the goal of the procedure is to REDUCE your dependence on glasses and contact lenses.

  My doctor and i were discussing LASIK the other day, there was a recent article in an ophthalmology journal stating that although the quantity of your vision may increase, often times the quality of your vision doesn't match that improvement. It's kind of scary to think about--it's irreversable.

  Although we haven't run into any of these cases at our clinic, this is fairly common. Patients who have previously had corrective surgery (RK, PRK, LASIK) and are now coming in for cataract surgery are running into problems. The types of measurements done to calculate the lens implant used in cataract surgery aren't accurate once your cornea has been altered. PLEASE ASK YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT THIS BEFORE SURGERY.

  anyway, just thought i'd throw in my 2 cents. i'm not claiming to know everything, just throwing out a little food for thought.
