| You know what? I so don't even care. This is what I have, and I need to work with what I have. | |

| *shrugs* Figured out what is probably one problem, the Windows CD I found and used has service pack 1, while my old hard drive had service pack 2. Am working on finding another CD. | |

| So how are you posting?
And I agree with S'wench about adding fruit to wine....
I do make an exception for sparkling wine and fresh strawberries or raspberries--but I want to add my own.
And kir royale is drinkable.

| Come on, they produce all of that global-warming-causing methane, they consume a disproportionate amount of the earth's resources---I know that you are blue, but cows just aren't green!

| I don't know much about methane, but cows can absolutely be green. I read this thing on Fark about some kids who painted a cow green for St. Patricks Day. | |

| People consume a disproportionate amount of the earth's resources...grass is more infinite than fossil fuel.
And I've reconsidered: Contact lenses is the best invention ever.

| You know, when you are hiking up in the mountains and look down a long meadow, it seems like the grass just goes on forever. I love it when it looks like that.
What makes contacts so great other than that they are easier to fence in? | |

1. Contact lenses weigh significantly less than a pair of glasses.
2. Contact lenses can be made in higher perscriptions than glasses.
3. Contact lenses of higher perscriptions than just 'needing them to read the paper' will still only be a little lens rather than a bottle bottom.
4. Contact lenses will not fog when you come from outside to indoors.
5. Higher perscription contact lenses are generally cheaper than glasses of the same 'strength'.
Just to list a few benefits.
I am VERY short sighted and have had glasses since I was 4 and contacts for the past +20 years. You can trust me on these facts.

(But cheers anyway!)

| Can't argue with you there. You've got me beat. I've only had glasses since I was 7. But remember the old "hard" contacts? The ones that really sliced up your eyes if you left them in too long and then you had to go to the doctor and he put a patch over your eye and you felt like a cross between a pirate and a gored gazelle? But sometimes you kind of feel like contacts can be a PIA. I mean, when you are wearing glasses they just sort of sit on your nose so you don't have to carry them around. But with contacts, you have to carry reading glasses in a case in case there is something small you need to look at sometime. And with the current fashion in men's shirts not to have a pocket, then you have to shove the reading glasses case in your pants pocket and you feel like something out of a Mae West movie, and that just isn't the impression you want to give most of the time. | |
