just ignore and let this one die

i really miss the magic of those old movies. todays stuff jsut doesn't even come close.

really? whoa! that's tragic.

Hiya CX, this might sound a bit odd, but Ike hitting Texas was only fair. Our friends and neighbors over in Lousianna have seen more than their share over the last few years. If anyone did, you folks deserved a break, although I understand the western parts of Lousianna got a good bit of wind and water again with Ike.

WOW! what devastation. i mean, the fish in the fence.... that leaves all sorts of scenerios swirling around in my mind. whole lives - whole families- displaced. pictures, momentos, memories.... washed away. how many domestic pets perished? where will all the families go. what will they do now. if they can even find it, can they get any of their stuff from those piles? tragic. all of it. so sad.

also, i saw some foolishness:

You have my sympathy! I had a mild dose of this while wearing contacts and then, of course, it got worse after LASIK surgery to both eyes. I thought--hoped--I would get over it after complete recovery from surgery, but I still keep a fresh plastic vial of the sterile artificial lubricant with me wherever I go (I'm allergic to the preservatives in ordinary lubricant solutions). Also, low brightness, low lights, sunglasses, though not as severe as yours sounds. I've learned to squeeze one eye at a time so hard that I tear up, when for some reason--like driving--I can't fiddle with the drops and that seems to bring on enough moisture to relieve the discomfort. I hope plugging that duct works for you.

You really have to dig when researching LASIK--the surgeons do not tell you about the dryness--and it turns it that it is a VERY common consequence of the surgery, since the surgery severes the little nerves that are in the cornea to tell your tear system to moisten more.

lol, my MoM is so funny...I sent her that pic I posted earlier and told her, in lolcat-ese, that I had a baby. Her response:

Iron Mary Kidd
A pirate's life isn't easy; it takes a tough person. That's okay with you, though, since you a tough person. Even though you're not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr!

Black Ethel Flint

Like anyone confronted with the harshness of robbery on the high seas, you can be pessimistic at times. Like the rock flint, you're hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you're easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!

ETHEL!!! Oh for Pete's sake! I'll keel haul the blighter! String 'im from a yard arm- aye! Arrrr!

Edit: I should probably mention that I stole the first image from her site.

(...but it was too late - she'd already been incensed!)

Arr, a trio of likely lasses!
Mad Mary, Iron Mary, Cap'n Ethel...welcome to the Kidd family.
Now...poop those decks! Scuttle the scuppers! Hoist them petards! Weigh that anchor! (It's been on a diet).

Supreme Pirate Queen Lindal Kidd

LOL - you must of missed this part of Cap'n Ethel's description:

I didn't miss it, Cap'n Ethel. You ARE in charge o' yer ship.

I'm in charge of the FLEET. (Supreme Pirate Queen is also the Admiral)

My sister experienced the same dryness, too.

Hi Govindira, and welcome to the thread! And wow! - an SL resident who's been here 4 1/2 years! In honor of your first posting in this thread:

Of course I'm way too virtuous to be a Pirate so I passed on the Quiz. I'm more likely to be the one searching the highs seas, looking to bring you scurvy bastards to justice.
*Shakes Fist*

Arrrr! Who're ye be callin' scurvy? I eats me limes every day.

We need a Ship's Cat, Annie girl...
