 NB> Which is what I'd said, too..  :)

Problem is that the loony might have been stronger than
the nonloony, which would make it hard to ice him.

 ML> The people who witnessed this and picked her up off the floor

 ML> too genteel for that (I might not have been).
 NB> I'm pretty non-litigious... but if insurance doesn't pony up for her,
 NB> maybe she should consider suing... someone, anyway... insurance,
 NB> airport, airline...   ;)

Airport, mostly, which had responsibility for the door that
had a faulty sensor.

 ML> We had to keep finding bandages and tape for her, a bit of
 ML> an annoyance, but not so bad as dressing Swisher's wound
 ML> this spring.
 NB> Helps to keep things in perspective, eh...?   :)   I thought she
 NB> travelled with such as part of her usual, though... 

Yeah, but she ran out of first the one and then the other,
plus the tape, which had been represented to her as tearable,
was not so for either of us, so she kept having to borrow
scissors from the hotels (when flies with carryon, one doesn't
take scissors).

 ML> Cheaters don't exist at +10. I think they go to 3 diopters or so.
 NB> Hummmm... I thought they went a little higher than 3, but haven't
 NB> really been paying that much attention... 10 probably is a little too
 NB> high, though.... 

I now have found them available on the Internet up to about 4.
Considering that that's real eye pathology range, selling
stronger than that would likely be considered practicing
medicine or pharmacy without a license.

 ML> Most people don't really appreciate
 ML> the degree to which secondary sources of information
 ML> have made up so much of my worldview. (Just took a
 ML> couple online tests, and I can read the 3.25 line
 ML> at 1/3 the distance specified for the test, and doing
 ML> so hurt my head pretty seriously.)
 NB> Sigh...  

Life is kind of weird, with or without correction.

 ML>> Less than 100 was for frames, the rest for what the
 ML>> ophthalmologist referred to as "a difficult prescription."
 NB>> Oh.  That do have an ominous sound to it, don't it... ;)
 ML> I don't know, when the opththalmologist said those words,
 ML> they didn't faze (not phase) me too much; perhaps they were
 ML> sort of expected.
 NB> Understood...

Now I can read the numbers on a measuring stick 2 feet away
almost as well as I can read this monitor. Problem is I can
just barely read this monitor,

 NB>> ... Absinthe Lite: a third fewer pathogens than regular absinthe.
 ML> In that case you need to drink 1 1/2 times as much, right?
 NB> I suppose so...  :)   Or just stay with the real thing...  :)

In fact, my friend Kochevar tells me that Dalmatian sage
(from Dalmatia; it's unclear whether the stuff sold as such
in the supermarkets is actually actual or not) has more
thujone than the wormwood used for absinthe.
