Oooh oooh...I wanna be first!! :D

Over the weekend, a friend and I went out to White Rock and got a chance to watch the sunset at Crescent Beach.

Nice Shots MLM, I'll have to get there one of these days... Looks lovely...:)

[Snitgirl]

23 days left till her BIG day.... she is so much FUN!

[mlm]

Oh my goodness! Look who's a big girl already...1 year old?? Hope you'll have a big party planned for her :D (Take lots of photos, okay?)

P.S. I just love the expression on her face in the first shot!!!

If I may quote Elmo...

"Very Lovely!" :)

Hi Pa, I noticed your glasses are not sitting right on your face so I will take care of them for you. My MaMa has trained me for this special task.





Now lets see, these are your only pair of glasses and they are old and a drill mount, I can do this. Don't be afraid Pa, really, I CAN do this. I AM Canadian !



Now, I will SLOWLY take them off of you.



Yep, I see the problem Pa!



All I have to do is push on this one side to make them straight again.



Oh, but I have to see through them too to make sure your progressives are working right. Let me give them back to you cause they work on me and then I will clean them.





Just have to clean them. Come on Pa, I just need to finish.



All I have to do is lick the lens and then wipe.




See Pa, they are PERFECT now.. Yippeeeee, I did it. My very first official adjustment :D

We've got talent on this board!!! w00t. Have you sang that song in front of a crowd before?

[Caree]

I have sung in front of 15,000 people at the Sacramento River Cats AAA playoff game last year. 8 years for the State Fair horseraces,4 years at River Cats games and this year for NASCAR at the All American Speedway in Roseville,CA. I LOVE to sing it and I do a very traditional anthem,no stupid runs. http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu...deoID=13981289 that is a link to my daughters myspace where she posted me singing that night. I hope the link works,probably not though since I don't play computers well.

[Grubendol]

Caree…Sacramento? River Cats? I’m a transplant from the Sacto/San Francisco cities. Currently in LA. All my family is still in Sacramento. The best man in my wedding attends games regularly.

Aweomeness…some hometownies here now.

*Cheers and congrats on the big performances!*

Here I go around my yard again.
First is our Clematis vine and a bloom. Next is our Evening Primrose.
Then a Peony, and finally some flower that the name escapes me at the moment.

A an old guy, am afraid of change, I was very upset when I was told that my "photochromic glass executives bifocals" were not available anymore. I have tried other styles and nothing is as good for me. I am forced to continue to use my old RX and shelve all the new Glasses.

Is there any source left for old guys like me.?

Actually, why would you want to use the world's worst bifocal? Move your eyes all the way over to the side of the frame and you have no binocular vision because you nose is in the way of one eye. Flattop 35's are the way to go, properly fit, your eyes can't move out of the bifocal and they weigh three times less than the Franklin (Executive is a hoity-toity trademark name).

Anyway, your post is outside of our guidelines and I shouldn't respond to your post but there it is.

[WHLBILL]

Sorry, i am outside the guide lines, didn't know where to go for this. i have vision in only one eye, no binocular vision. i ride a motorcycle and my GPS is located on the right sidem same as my good eye,

the more i have to turn my head to the right to see it, the less vision i have on my blind left side.

Just looking for help
