Happy Birthday! And great news, what better present could there be?I’m happy today because my two month old was discharged from the children’s hospital and is doing great. And it’s also my birthday so it was a great present.
What fabulous news!! And happy birthday!!!I’m happy today because my two month old was discharged from the children’s hospital and is doing great. And it’s also my birthday so it was a great present.
wonderful news/ Happy birthday!!I’m happy today because my two month old was discharged from the children’s hospital and is doing great. And it’s also my birthday so it was a great present.
I tried a new eyedrop last week. It is called Systane. There were several varieties but the one I bought says Complete Optimal Dry Eye Relief.
Oh my eyes feel amazing now. It really is something when you get so used to something that relief from it smacks you upside the head at random moments when you find something that works.
And my eyes look better too. I cannot use Visine or the like because the active ingredient gives me migraines. But just the relief from the dryness has helped with the redness in my eyes. Bonus for sure. When I went in for my doctor appointment a couple weeks ago the first thing the nurse asked me was what was wrong with my eyes. Hurt my feelings a bit. But again, was so used to them looking bad I didn't notice how bad they really looked.
Just one of those little things to be grateful for.
I will remember that, thank you!I have an issue with one eye and have to use drops all the time. I use different kinds for different times of the day or different situations. I've used many and the I think the best ones are Refresh brand. They have one called Celluvisc that is very thick and is very soothing if your eyes are severly irritated. It's hard to see for a while after you use these but they are great. The regular Refresh Plus would work for most situations. Both of these products come in the individual vials so there are no preservatives if you are sensitive.
I've never tried the Systane but that product is very similar so if you like that one stick with it. If you ever have a question about eye drops, ask me. I 'm an expert.
I’m happy today because my two month old was discharged from the children’s hospital and is doing great. And it’s also my birthday so it was a great present.
.....Hallelujah!....I’m happy today because my two month old was discharged from the children’s hospital and is doing great. And it’s also my birthday so it was a great present.
Happy hugs for you CoriSCapnSkip . Good things come to those who wait!Hey, everybody, look lively! I am posting on the Happy thread! I don't know whether this has happened before and have no idea whether it will happen again.
Tuesday, February 19, was host to A MOMENTOUS OCCASION, that being A MIRACLE OCCURRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Since November 10, 1977 (10th grade), I have been keeping a list of every book I read in my life (that I can remember for sure). I took months (decades actually, but who's counting) listing books I read before starting the list. In some cases I could remember characters, plot, or other details, but not title or author. The list of such books may have numbered 20 at one time. Due to massive amounts of time spent in libraries, used bookstores, and the like, by the time I went online in 1999 the list was down to 8. Thanks to Stumper sections on various reading forums, the number worked down to just 2 (during which time I solved countless other queries).
One of the remaining 2 was a picture book I looked at in Second Grade, not even entirely sure I read it, but the memory was so vivid I counted it. The real prize was a book our sixth grade teacher read to the class. It was the ONLY book she read I COULD NOT identify. I called the teacher after starting the list, of course by then it was three or four years later and she couldn't remember. By the time my classmates had a Facebook page, it was decades later and of course they couldn't remember either.
My favorite forum, begun in 2003, racked up a 17-page thread with over 300 posts, and earned the book a spot on the famous "Stumpers That Will Not Die" list. http://forums.abebooks.com/discussi...paniel/abesleuthcom/54.308?dbg=6&nav=messages
Finally on Tuesday, a member, entering into Google Books a shorter version of a term I had already searched, found the book and the mystery was
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SOLVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There was absolutely no doubt, as a copy was up on eBay with images including not only the cover, but interior pages containing exactly what I had described! What's more, the seller is just down the road in a town I visit, or try to, for book sales twice a year.
45 years after being read, after a 41-year search to identify it, the last 20 years of it in various places online, this book has been identified by SilentTurtle on Booksleuth at AbeBooks Forums as A Son Of The Wild Pack, by Arthur C. Bartlett. Every detail of the copy for sale online matches! It has been ordered and the accuracy of my memory shall be further confirmed.
Author wrote at least 16 books...anyone heard of him?

Isn't the internet wonderful? Tuesday morning I was ready to consult a Ouija board in hopes it would even spell out the author's last name, and by night I am reading his correspondence and learning biographical details!

Here it is, my last lone lorn remaining stumper. Not the only book I still want to identify, but the only one which belongs on the list as actually having read and still don't know title or author.

I got the dreaded #1313 on the list out of the way, hardware removed from my leg, and stitches coming out on Thursday.
Now that this has happened, my last stumper will be identified, book I submitted will be accepted, pigs will fly, people will walk on water, and Lord Voldemort will be impeached! Party on, dude!
