Reading Glasses and Headaches
by Big Tex ini've had a terrible time the last 2 weeks with headaches.
they usually come on in the early afternoon and by the end of the day i can hardly see straight.
i don't wear glasses but i noticed that after working on the computer or documents and i get up to walk around my distance vision is poor, i.e.

maybe i can throw my 2 cents in here. what's actually going on is that the crystalline lens inside your eye (that's what makes the eye focus) starts to harden as we get older. so the range of focus is decreased. the reason that you can see fine up close, but your vision is blurred in the distance after reading, is that your eye is working harder and squeezing the lens into shape to help you focus. after you're done, it takes longer for it to stretch back out for you to focus at a distance. the reason that the reading glasses will help, is that by using them, the crystalline lens doesn't have to do as much focusing, so you shouldn't notice the blur going from near to distance after reading.
i hope this made sense, if not, let me know :)

How do you interact with your worldly relatives?
by pratt1 in.
now that i am no longer a jw, i can associate, and celebrate holidays and other family traditions with my non-jw relatives.
however i am sometimes bitter because i missed so many experiences as a child with my relatives that they seem almost like strangers rather than relatives.. does anyone else feel this way, and how have you bridged the gap?

i guess i'm fortunate in that my worldly relatives realized i had little control in the past. now, as an adult, i make my own decisions. we enjoy the time we spend together and don't take it for granted.

i never knew anyone who rode their bike to the meeting, but my dad has had a bike as long as i can remember. as far as i know he's never taken any flack for it either. there were plenty of guys who had bikes, but come to think of it, i only knew one woman who did. maybe that's why my mom is freaking out about me getting one.
i did take alot of grief for buy my mustang when i was still in. my dad came to my defense though. he reasoned that it was no different than him owning a pickup, so no one really had a reason to complain about what i wanted to spend my money on. seems like perfect reasoning to me

i'm eagerly awaiting the Ford Escape hybrid. lately i've been thinking about how nice it would be to have a 4 wheel drive vehicle here in the frozen tundra, but gas is soooooo expensive it would kill me to drive one.

MEN ONLY- Freezing up at the Urinal!
by Funchback inwomen are invited to read this but they most certainly won't be able to relate.
i know there have to be a lot of men out there who can't pee while in a crowded public restroom (bathroom).
personally, the more people who surround me while i'm standing at the urinal, the more difficult it is for me to pee.

But isn't it WOMEN who always go to the bathroom together? What the hell is up with that?
well, personally i like to do that if i'm somewhere unfamiliar and i don't know where the ladies' room is. that way, if i get lost, at least i've got my buddy! my albino twin refuses to do this, however. it annoys the hell out of her.
