Why just one eye?

[conuly]

Whenever I have allergies, it's just my right eye that waters unless it's REALLY bad. Why not both of them? Is there a way to fix this, because it's super annoying.

For me, with allergies, it's one eye or the other, almost never both, but which eye is involved changes. I wonder if it has something to do with how, often (at least for me), one side of the sinuses blocks up while the other side remains just a little smidgen clear. (At night, I can change which side that is by rolling over in bed.)

The nose thing is because some chemicals are easier detected in slow moving air and some in fast moving air, so our nostrils take turns being slightly swollen so we get the full olfactory picture of smells.

Elizabeth Hand said she was tempted to rewrite parts of Chip Crockett's Christmas Carol (http://theinferior4.livejournal.com/427261.html) for a much different take on Peter, because many things were not known about autism when she wrote it in 2001.

One of the points she makes throughout the story however is that Peter is actually responsive and very involved with his father and family, it's his father who mostly doesn't notice, because he's wrapped up in "he will never" in spite of many cues that this is not true. And Peter's school seems progressive enough and not one of those behaviorist prisons. Still, she's got Peter starting to talk as the big finale, like the #2 type ending. Like talking is the Holy Grail or something.

We would still be fine with this if she hadn't published it as a Kindle book to be sold, proceeds donated to you know where.

I know where? Oh, gee, please tell me it's Planned Parenthood or International Red Cross/Red Crescent or Penny Harvest.
