Mum still tells the story of how delighted I was to discover that trees had leaves all the time, rather than being enormous green blobby things that turned into pretty trees with leaves only when you got up really close to them.
Yep, trees are the thing. I stopped wearing my glasses all through high school and went back to them at uni. (More than two choices of frame! Frames that don't look appalling!) Correcting the astigmatism was scary. Walking up stairs or pouring boiling water into a mug became exciting adventures in pain.
Big thanks has to go to Hary Potter for making glasses cool for kids.
And Daniel Vettori.

I'm not sure how blind you have to be to get picked up by the vision testing they do in schools and kindies, but my boy had been through it three times before we called 'screw it' and took him to an optometrist. Short-sighted and astigmatism, just like Mum.
The basic costs of my daughter's hearing impairment are covered until she leaves high school - like dentistry. My son's vision impairment is down to us.
He is a nerdy swot though, so that stereotype's still bearing out.

Sweet Jesus fuck, David. I do wish this was the first time I'd had to restrain a frothing incoherent rant about maternity nurses.
What I recommend is starting your precipitate labour outside the hospital. From there no opportunity arises to be separated from your partner.
Happy birthday snuzzles for Bob from me.

But only in a non-squicky, text-only consensual way.
Yeah. Let's say that.

Apropos of Che's sig, which I only just noticed:
The posh end of Cuba St
It doesn't have one.
So, just how many people could I persuade to pop into the Manners St Arty Bees Books and 'say hi to Matt for me', should I seriously want to make his life more 'interesting'?
Or as an exercise in getting RL and web communities to cross-pollinate or something...

(although they do seem to have noisy sex a lot).
This is something I did not previously know about tortoises.

Geez, now you're making me cry before lunchtime?

You made him?
Everyone needs a hobby.

Agree. My heterosexuality hadn't felt less threatened since the days when Keanu Reeves was popular.
I didn't make him for you.

Plus, it's boring as, and only relieved by the presenters equally desparate efforts to make us get behind New Zealand's hopeful for bronze in the reverse backward feltch or whatever.
People could try constructing their own, more ethical Olympics using past coverage from YouTube. Might I make a recommendation for the gymnastics section? (Caution: link may damage your heterosexuality).
