no you don't call them at all, just leave them sitting in a reservation wonder why you don't call and where the buffalloo have all gone.

...and waiting for the smoke signals.

Watching a Leaf Cutter Bee moving into my insect hotel.

Can I make a reservation? I'd like a double room with an en suite bath and plenty of room for all of my worker bees in the cupboard.

From your own description of yourself that might prove a bit difficult.

It's the internet, I could be misrepresenting myself to a scary level, a kind of reverse Catfish if you please?

Anyone on here got/had cataracts? What are the symptoms ?

Had a cataract operation about 5 years ago on my left eye as the eye specialist I was under then (I have glaucoma) thought it would help my vision but with other condition I didn't notice much difference.

However, a friend of mine had this done on his one good eye (he is blind in the other one - brave man!) said it was wonderful how much his eyesight had improved - sharpness/colour.

You need to see an eye specialist (optician may do) to see how much cloudiness you have of the lens in your eye.

Broken nose!

A man I met recently in the dentist's waiting room told me he'd had both eyes done and he'd never looked back! Actually he was a bit odd.

So, he wasn't an owl then?

My cat has cataracts, but she is nearly sixteen. The vet hasn't prescribed her any special glasses as yet, but I'm hoping that he/she will.

I feel for you though, I (truthfully) have macular degeneration and I'm not that old.

Should be about a week for the face to heal. By day 3, I may just have the confidence to present as a boxer if only on the surface. Wonderful this life isn't it. Ongoing Politics 0 Blimmin' Stingy 5

Seems like I have missed something. What's the matter with you?

Emotional, individual, neurotic, warm, troubled, overly-rational, complicated, too principled.

And not at all 2015.

I know you like this one even though the words are out of sync. I do too. I love it - as I said to him and his girlfriend when at the next table to me opposite Dingwalls. The only gig where I had a chat with the performer beforehand and followed him in. Thanks for asking me. I do appreciate it:

Absolutely - and one of my favourite bands of the nineties. :)

Just back from the hospital after having an ultrasound scan on my heart.

"This is the same machine they use to scan for babies" she said.

Glad to report I am not pregnant, :) but am seeing the specialist same time next week for the results. :(
