Four!

Stella vomited in the bathroom and the foyer, I'm overdrawn at the bank, Annabelle is not eating again. I wish I were dead.

~~~Vibes of All Kinds for Larry and Annabelle!!~~~

I'm going to be leaving in about an hour to work concessions for Warren Miller's 75th movie that's going to be shown at the Washington Center for the Performing Arts.

Michigan has 129 lighthouses; more than any other state.

Wow!  Who'da thunk it?

DR George, a few times I have found it a bit difficult to open the larger mailbox.  Fortunately I have never needed more than a couple of tries before getting it open. 

I went back again today with some WD40 and it didn't help!  Well, I'm sure that it'll help the key that actually fits that lock, but the key that is labeled as the key for that lock most definitely is NOT the actual key for that lock!

Hello, everyone.

[George]

I left it in my mailbox with a note, so hopefully, it'll all get figured out.

[George]

Hello, Jeanne!

[Jeanne]

I had my annual eye exam today with the ophthalmologist and have some information for DRJane.

There’s a new approach to dry eyes. Instead of using punctal plugs in the inner corner of your eyes they now can insert a gel containing hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is used in many products, especially face creams because it’s such a good moisturizer. I would prefer this over punctal plugs.

I’ve also been Ivizia eye drops. They’re thicker than Thera Tears, but not as thick as the gel eye drops. I still like Thera Tears better, but Ivizia have no preservatives, a plus.

[Jeanne]

Hi, George.

Hi, Jeanne!

Gratuitous post 102!

I might have liked Hemingway more if I read him while drinking.

Darn.  I hope you can get your package tomorrow.

Thank you.  I will check these out.  I prefer not to try using plugs.  I still like my BioTrue drops.  I find alternating brands works better.

[Jane]

DR Jeanne, have you read about using drops made out of your own blood.  It sounds gross but I have heard it really works though it is expensive.

[Jeanne]

My take on the election is quite different from The NY Times. I think Harris did exceedingly well. She mounted a campaign in 100 days, was an unknown to many, and showed intelligence, energy, and class. I questioned whether any woman could get elected, but she did better than I expected. I see all that as a victory, not a defeat. Trump had an advantage on many fronts. I am saddened and disappointed that she didn’t win, but she did amazingly well.

No, I haven’t. I may try the hyaluronic acid approach.

[Jeanne]

I alternate brands, too, so I don’t get too much of any one.

Ivizia came up when I googled about the gel proceedure as well as Hylo Gel.

One of the things that bothers me about the election is the misinformation. I feel that many Trump voters were duped. They want lower grocery prices, but will they be happy when he tries to cut their Social Security? I don’t think this is what they were signing up for.

I will call my doctor and ask about them. First I will try the drops.  Thank you for the information.

Duped or simply didn't pay attention.

[Jane]

DR Jeanne have you tried Optase Hylo drops?

Nevermind, at 5% Biotrue has more glycerine.

[Jeanne]

DR Jeanne have you tried Optase Hylo drops?

No, I’m not familiar with them.

I am such a masochist! I discovered that Mark Longo's wife Daniela has been posting on TilkTok videos of her and the murdered Fred the raccoon. He was only a couple of months old when they killed him, and he is so adorable in the videos!

We were talking about scammers recently.

Has anyone linked this Times article from last week about avoiding scammers?


https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/31/business/scam-con-artist-family-savings.html

"They’re Giving Scammers All Their Money. The Kids Can’t Stop Them.
One son couldn’t prevent his father from giving about $1 million in savings to con artists, including one posing as a female wrestling star. The two became estranged."

Oh, my goodness!

[Jane]

DR Jeanne have you tried Optase Hylo drops?

No, I’m not familiar with them.

Go back to my question as I updated it-lol
