Until the times at which they came to pass, none would have even occurred to me. I had not given them any forethought, and if I had, I still would have believed them to be extremely low in their probability of occurrence. I do not believe that I am accident prone. That would imply that I had some character flaw or an unconscious need to punish myself for my past misdeeds. I have no such need, as I usually get caught. No, this is a stranger phenomenon. Accidents actively pursue me, stealthily awaiting their chance for a sneak attack. Although I am almost always on my guard, my finely attuned senses working overtime to ward off the inherent danger they pose, they sometimes slip past my carefully guarded perim...

That word: astigmatism. However, when a patient asks the doctor “what does that mean? What is an astigmatism?” the doctor tends to ignore the question or brush them off by telling them “it’s not a big deal, and it’s totally normal. Don’t worry about it! A lot of people have it!” Image: sxc.hu This may have happened to you and you’re not the only one. Many people turn to the internet to figure out what an astigmatism actually is. However, there’s a lot of articles explaining, in medical terms, what astigmatism means. Most people don’t understand “medical speak,” so...

Thanks to some poor planning with my FLEX account, I discovered that I needed to spend a big pile of cash on either my teeth or my eyes within the next month or else donate the funds to people who I've never met and whose very existence I hypothetically despise. Since I've already spent a bundle to fix my teeth in the past couple of years, the eye exam was a logical choice.I was secretly hoping that my vision wasn't so bad after all, but I was only fooling myself. I could barely read the 20/30 line, and the benefits of correction were immediately obvious. So it seems that the second half of my life will be spent looking through corrective lenses. Mayb...

I came across an old photo of my Mom the other day. She is standing on the lush lawn in front of my sister’s home, her right arm folded primly across her body.  Hanging from her arm is her trusty handbag. If you have every seen pictures of Queen Elizabeth II of the UK on an outing, you have seen the formal handbag pose. Mom’s handbag was a treasure trove of necessities for the modern woman — and for my Dad. You see, whenever they went out of errands together, Mom carried the money, bankbooks, receipts, you name it, and Dad’s reading glasses.  He never lost a pair when she was guarding them.
