I swear, once I get a job

conuly(and we've dug ourselves out of this hole) I'm putting as much as I can every paycheck towards eye surgery. I don't even want eye surgery, it sounds scarier than dental work, but at 43 I think I have to accept reality: I am never going to learn to reliably put my glasses somewhere they won't break and I won't lose them.

For years, many of Apple’s most consumer-unfriendly decisions have felt like an extension of a revenue-optimization strategy at constant risk of backfiring. Thanks to a bracing legal decision, now it has.

Peace in exchange for land? For many Ukrainians, it's too painful to contemplate (Not just painful, but stupid - who thinks Putin would honor that deal? Appeasement didn't work in the 1930s and it won't work today.)

I wish i could get the surgery but I've 3 strikes against it
Date: 2025-05-07 04:09 am (UTC)2: My grandfather was one of the first people to get cataract surgery - it was still experimental and they learned don't leave the laser on that long. Pity they did it in both eyes.
3: My brother has a detached retina that needs repeated treatment so I worry that might cause problems with my getting the surgery.
But I DO want it. Despite how all prior surgeries have left me worse every time. One eye is near sighted and the other is astigmatism.
