 NB>>> Doesn't sound exactly normal to me... as I said, it might not be

 RH>> OK, I'll probably be making an appointment sometime next month anyway.
 NB>> Worth checking into, anyway.. :)

 RH> YEs, I'm going to see a new eye doctor anyway so may as well start in

Might as well..  Starting fresh, you can lay the groundwork for a good
doctor-patient relationship, too... :) 
 
 RH>>> Don't know, I've always been quite color discriminatory. It's

 NB>>> off-whites...
 RH>> They can be hard. I thought I had one match but it wasn't. Went to

I suppose if you end up needing more after all, it would still be the
luck of the draw whether you were looking for a match sooner or later...
 
 NB>>> it was quite spectacular... I was closing one eye and
 NB>>> then the other,  NB>> to see the difference... ;)  Now that both
 NB>>> eyes are done, that game is gone... ;)
 RH>> And nothing was spilled on the stove making it seem yellow. (G)
 RH>> Some whites do yellow with age and exposure to the sun.
 NB>> Exactly... and it hadn't yellowed from age or sun-exposure, after
 NB>> all... ;)  I suppose that in some ways it didn't really change my

 RH> Sounds logical. Yuu might have seen or perceived a color change in

 RH> done eye, you could have verified there was no actual change.
 
And, once both were done, I see things as they are with both... the main
reason I decided that the docs were right that I would want the second
eye done once the first was, actually was that dramatic color perception
change... so I was glad then that I'd already reserved a surgery date...
 
 NB>>> I always get a small cabbage... or half a medium one... just
 NB>>> enough to get the taste without being overwhelmed by it...
 RH>> I got the best looking of the smallest cabbage I could, tho it was
 RH>> probably a medium size. No cut in half ones available to grab.
 NB>> At Wegmans, there's usually a produce clerk to grab... they've always
 NB>> been very willing to cut one down for me.  This year, it turned out
 NB>> that someone before us had asked for the same thing, and was waiting
 NB>> for the clerk to return with the halves... The clerk came back with
 NB>> two halves, already weighed and labled... I took the smaller of the
 NB>> two, and both of us were happy...  :)

 RH> Good deal for both of you. My MIL has a huge cabbage and a piece of
 RH> corned beef she wants me to cook. I'll probably only do half, at most,
 RH> of the cabbage and we'll still have left overs.
 
She saved it for you to do the honors, eh...?  ;)   Sounds like you'll
be making a large batch of coleslaw for her, too... ;)

 RH>> We like it as cole slaw most of the time.
 NB>> We like it that way once in a while, too...  :)

 RH> That's one way to go thru a good bit of mayo, tho I've tried to cut
 RH> down on the amount I use for the slaw.

I've mostly just bought the ready-made slaw dressing... One of the
refrigerated brands has a nice one. 
 
 NB>>> Depending on how much or little is left over, some years the
 NB>>> leftover cabbage and beef get chopped down and the last meal is
 NB>>> soup...
 RH>> Hash would be good too.
 NB>> If there hadn't been so many veggies overall left over this year, the
 NB>> piece of corned beef would probably have been about the right amount
 NB>> for a decent supper meal of hash... although I might have had to have
 NB>> cooked more potatoes... :)

 RH> Can't win for losing--or 2nd guessing.

One just has to be flexible... or plan well for the outcomes... ;)
