Capture: Two Tales of a City, in reply to Ian Dalziel,
Morphic resonance?
Morphonic? Morphic is an interesting idea though

Lilith put me on to this thread today -- and I have spent the afternoon reading it. Fascinating in that much of human life is here, everything from debilitating chronic illness to children to shout at alarm clocks ( I had a Braun and tossed it when I decided I never again wanted to start my day by yelling "Fuck. Up. Now" and worse. )
So much courage and compassion and humour. (Twins with a tarpaulin; hehhe)
What happened to the obnoxious Peter from Dundee? Did Emma get him whacked?

I had wondered why there was a lot of hip talk.

Hard News: Where do you get yours?, in reply to Lilith __,
Ouch. I started to think laterally about buying specs when a pair cost $750 six years ago. The frames were nice enough but nothing special. since then I have successfully used vintage frames (opticians loathe this), Specsavers cheap deals. Haven't yet been confident enough to try the internet option because I don't undertsand the minutiae of sizing.
(Odd the way this topic has morphed. Next will be comparison of hearing aid batteries, or will Russell block our logins at that point in order to retain PA's hip factor? Oops, hips.., shouldnta mentioned them)

Here they have these fancy machines they put on your nose. They press a button and it prints a prescription out the top in seconds. It's free if you buy glasses and if you require a longer eye test that's also part of the gratis service. My last pair of glasses cost around $110 including the Porsche frames - and I was given a second pair with a no-name frame as a safety backup at no extra charge.
My heart is filled with envy!. My current sunglasses cost $300 all up -- I was able to keep the price way down by buying old wire rayban frames and having gorgeous green polarised lenses put in for 260. And that seemed like reasonable! Plus the eye test for 70.

I had naively thought that my short-sightedness would intersect with age-related long-sightedness when I became middle-aged, leading to a happy few years without glasses or contact lenses, and being able to buy frivolous sunnies from the gas station for $20. Instead I've become short-sighted and long-sighted at the same time and have two pairs of glasses, and lose them twice as often. Apparently it's a common condition.

Hard News: " To prostitute yourself to…, in reply to Russell Brown,
No, I think what was on show wasn't something she learned in the last year, but what took her to the top of the organisations for which she worked. It was both highly impressive and unnerving.
Yeah I watched and saw how she had gone from office secretary to the top of the game. As a person she was fascinating and chilling. I'm happy to have half a world between her and me.
