I new a girl like this, I thought it was contacts till I put my foot in my mouth. Then she said she was born that way.
Come to find out her vision was perfect, never had probs, and at this time she was in her early 20s.
Thanks. It's good to hear something positive. I was concerned because he wasn't looking at me when I held him until the last day. His eyes locked with mine. And I thank you all for the prayers. You guys have no idea how much they are appreciated.

It's a Great Day to Be Alive- Travis Tritt
Can't get a whole lot more positive than that.

Max has a condition called colobama. Hoping it isn't too bad.

this forum has come a LONG FUCKIN WAY in its 6 years.........
How about he assigns it to B. Vampatella? That works, right?
I'm in by the way.
-
I just call it the Saiga forum. No acronym.
-
He was born this way. And there was no trauma to Vanessa while pregnant. He has an Optometrist appointment at 1:45 so I guess I'll get the verdict soon. Prayers would be greatly appreciated.

My grandson has teardrop shaped pupils. Have any of you ever seen or heard of this? He's got an eye doctor appointment today so I should know more sometime soon but I was just curious if any of y'all have seen this before.

Maybe it makes me an asshole, but I couldn't care less about all this. The media makes me want to puke, Iran story has disappeared while people are still dying over there. The House passed that abomination of an energy bill with no media coverage. This crap is not news and it's making me ill.
It's what I call 'fluff'. Certainly not news. That he died, maybe. But around the clock coverage? Hell no.
-
This is Bill Harrell.
Of course, there's been no mention of him on the news. Hillbilly music and all.
-
Who gives a flying F@*K. The pop queen is dead...yay! Lots of kids are now safer with their own sexuality, and Diana Ross's identity is now safer. Let it rest already.
It's bad enough that we can't turn on the TV without seeing more "BREAKING NEWS" about MJ's death, or turn on the radio without being flooded with talk about him, and DJs and musicians giving tributes to him.
At least he included Farrah in it. She will be missed by many, as well as Ed, and David Caradine, and Bill Harrell, the famous bluegrass musician who also just passed away.

What really pisses me off is how the media is all bla bla bla about MJ and I still haven't even heard how (why) Farrah died.
Well..off to another day of "breaking news" and Jackson 5 videos...
She had cancer.

Makes me sick. Oh, I forgot he was BLACK.
That's questionable.... and a non factor IMO.....
That's right, I made a mistake, he was white.
Sorry about that I must have been confused.
I don't think his color has anything to do with it. He's a fruit loop and the media loves them.

I don't think your land line phone does a lot of the above. I believe the Google Voice program adds all of the above to your regular ol' landline.
I don't have a land line. Just a cell phone. Shannon has a land line and uses it ALOT! When we go out, he just forwards his calls to my phone. I don't talk on the phone much so I don't know that this would do much for me but Shannon might be able to use it.
-
It's not Google Talk - that is a jabber based IM protocol
This Google service looks to supercharge your landline phone.
Guess I'll just act like I know what that means.

I'm not a huge fan but the guy did have talent, even if I didn't care for his style. Too bad he didn't concentrate on that instead of little kids and altering his appearance until he barely looked human anymore. I breathe a sigh of relief because alot of little kids are safe now but I still feel sorry for his family.
-
If that's the same as Google Talk, and I think it is, my son uses it to talk to his friends. Saves alot of his cell phone minutes.
-
Anyone else hear of them both dying?? So, I have been lead to believe that celeb's die in 3's....who's next?
Ed McMahon died on Tuesday, if that counts.
I thought they died in groups, not days? If it's in days, someone is still up for grabs.
-
Thanks guys. Got to spend about 3 hours with him today. Got to hold him most of that time. I don't think I've ever seen a baby make so many different faces! And he has a full head of hair the likes I've never seen before. He almost needs a haircut already! Guess it's because it's so dark. I'm going back again tomorrow for a little visit. Grandkids awesome!

Maxwell Carl Koliadko came into this world at 3:13. He weighs 7lbs. 6oz. and he's 20 3/4". Vanessa was dilated at 5 cm and wouldn't dilate further so they had to do a C section but mother and son are fine. Should come home Monday.

How ingenious was this?
Starting in 1941, an increasing number of British airmen found themselves as the involuntary guests of the Third Reich, and the crown was casting about for ways and means to facilitate their escape. Now obviously, one of the most helpful aids to
that end is a useful and accurate map, one showing not only where stuff was, but also showing the locations of 'safe houses' where a POW on- the-lam could go for food and shelter.
Paper maps had some real drawbacks -- they make a lot of noise when you open and fold them, they wear out rapidly, and if they get wet, they turn into mush.
Someone in MI-5 (similar to America 's OSS ) got the idea of printing escape maps on silk. It 's durable, can be scrunched-up into tiny wads, and unfolded as many times as needed, and makes no noise whatsoever. At that time, there was only one manufacturer in Great Britain that had perfected the technology of printing on silk, and that was John Waddington, Ltd.
When approached by the government, the firm was only too happy to do its bit for the war effort. By pure coincidence, Waddington was also the U.K. Licensee for the popular American board game, Monopoly. As it happened, 'games and pastimes' was a category of item qualified for insertion into 'CARE packages', dispatched by the International Red Cross, to prisoners of war. Under the strictest of secrecy, in a securely guarded and inaccessible old workshop on the grounds of Waddington's, a group of sworn-to-secrecy employees began mass-producing escape maps, keyed to each region of Germany or Italy where Allied POW camps were located (Red Cross packages were delivered to prisoners in accordance with that same regional system). When processed, these maps could be folded into such tiny dots that they would actually fit inside a Monopoly playing piece. As long as they were at it, the clever workmen at Waddington's also managed to add:
1. A playing token, containing a small magnetic compass
2. A two-part metal file that could easily be screwed together
3. Useful amounts of genuine high-denomination German, Italian, and French currency, hidden within the piles of Monopoly money!
British and American air crews were advised, before taking off on their first mission, how to identify a 'rigged' Monopoly set -- by means of a tiny red dot, one cleverly rigged to look like an ordinary printing glitch, located in the corner of the Free Parking square.
Of the estimated 35,000 Allied POWS who successfully escaped, an estimated one-third were aided in their flight by the rigged Monopoly sets. Everyone who did so was sworn to secrecy indefinitely, since the British Government might want to use this highly successful ruse in still another, future war. The story wasn't de-classified until 2007, when the surviving craftsmen from Waddington's, as well as the firm itself, were finally honored in a public ceremony.
Anyway, it's always nice when you can play that 'Get Out of Jail Free' card.
I realize you're all too young for WWII (!)......maybe, but this is still interesting, isn't it?
See "WWII Monoply POW" for full story
QUESTION:
How long do you think this secret would have lasted, if in today's times, the New York Times or the ACLU ever found out about it?

Yesterday was pretty rough. Kinda felt blindsided. It's a little better today. I cried hard yesterday when I looked and I didn't have a pic of her in my puter. But I went through all my 'hard copies' and found quite a few. The one on the left was, who I refer to as 'Lil Girl' and the one on the right is Tiarella and I call her 'Miss T'. This is the fourth dog I've lost in my life and it just doesn't ever get any easier.
And BroCobraJet, losing a child is worse. Just ask my parents. But I know what you're sayin'.
Way off gun topic-where to rent a car with a manual transmission
in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!

Do you know anyone nearby you that has one that might let you borrow it? If my truck was, you'd be welcome to borrow it. It'd be nice if you could spend a little more time teaching her and not be so rushed. I was 21 before I knew how to drive one. I was fortunate that my ex was a good teacher. And his truck didn't have as tight of a clutch.
So the major ones don't rent stick shifts. Hum. What if you wanted to rent a sports car? They don't rent them? I really don't know because I've only rented a car one time and that was a very long time ago.
