I tried contacts for a while but I could never get them in right and my eyes are too dry. Found it v. uncomfortble. Quite liked the look, but not enough to endure contacts or do lasik.

“Sure benson, they’re Republican while getting paid by the guvment, right?”

Kind of like the entire state of Alaska.

As for coconut, thai green curry and red curry. It’s also in the peanut sauce used for satay. But I hate coconut in anything sweet — hate macaroons, etc.

Speaking of coconugts, take it away, Mr. Nillson:

Bruder bought a coconut, he bought it for a dime,
His sister had anudder one she paid it for de lime.
She put de lime in de coconut, she drank ’em bot’ up
She put de lime in de coconut, she drank ’em bot’ up.
She put de lime in de coconut, she drank ’em bot’ up
She put de lime in de coconut, she call de doctor, woke ‘im up,
Said “doctor, ain’t there nothin’ I can take?”
I said “Doctor, to relieve this belly ache,”
I said “Doctor, ain’t there nothin’ I can take?”
I said “Doctor, to relieve this belly ache.”
Now lemme get this straight,
You put de lime in de coconut, you drank ’em bot’ up,
You put de lime in de coconut, you drank ’em bot’ up,
You put de lime in de coconut, you drank ’em bot’up,
You put de lime in de coconut, you call your doctor, woke ‘im up,
Said ” Doctor, ain’t there nothing’ I can take?”
I said, “Doctor, to relieve this belly ache.”
I said “Doctor, ain’t there nothin’ I can take?’
I said, “Doctor, to relieve this belly ache,”
You put de lime in de coconut, you drink ’em bot’ togedder
Put de lime in de coconut and you’ll feel better,
Put de lime in de coconut, drink ’em bot’ up,
Put de lime in de coconut and call me in the morning.”

Rob,

Did you get a prescription for the contact lenses?

Somehow I think your eyes are at greater risk not changing your contacts by a factor of 5 or 6 (i.e., every 5 or 6 days vs. the intended every day) than wearing glasses and running the risk of getting punched in the face.

Did you ever go to Manhattan Grand Optical? I am sure they know how to do the insurance thing. And you don’t even have to tell them you are friends with Roberta/Juliette’s mom–they treat everyone well. Corner Mott and Grand Sts., right down the street from your job. Open every day.

Actually I like Almond joys too, Mounds – not so much

Almond Joy has nuts. Mounds don’t.
