Hey, maybe if we all petition it, we could form an Olympic fishing team !!!

You may want to see if EBay is selling them Geoff.I dont believe they were available to the public at all. I nosed around on th net, but not alot of info available.

Its really not a major thing.Takes about 15 minutes, no pain, and the recovery time is very quick.Had the right eye done 2 years ago, and had the patch off in 2 hours and was able to see perfectly.Left eye due to be done this year. Must say i was scared to death, but it was a breeze. Dont worry about it at all.

Nice !!!!!

Mom and Dad were really good at keeping our belief in Santa alive.We as kids, never saw any gifts coming into the house, or heard any wrapping of gifts. We would take our baths, put on our PJ's, and sit around the tv watching Red Skelton Christmas special, and Don messer.We would have milk and cookies, put some on a plate for Santa, and be in bed by 9. Up at 5, my mom would be up before us all.She loved the looks on our faces.Our stockings were hung on our bedroom door knobs, and we would open the gifts inside.Then Mom would get Dad up, and ask him to go check in the parlor because she had heard a noise late at night,coming from that room.We would be so excited, we were almost vibrating.Dad would call my mom into the parlor, and we would be listening as she would say, Oh My !! What happened here! I think Santa may have stopped here last night. That was our cue We would run down the hall, and just go crazy !! Gifts in what seemed like mountains all under the tree and in the corner near the tree. It would take hours to open the presents. GI Joe,creepy crawlers, slinky,Gumbi,man from uncle, you name it. We were very lucky children.Such good memories, such good parents.

Well, i just got back from my annual tradition of purchaseing my last gift at the last minute.Always a gift for the wife, and always my most favorite time of the year. As always, the parking lot was full to overflowing.In the store people,mostly guys on the last "Oh Crap i forgot a gift" mission. Usually its the jewellery counter,and i wasnt disapponted.All the guys there looked scared stiff.One guy just bought a ring without asking the size or anything.Ya that one.....Just give me a box, i'll get my daughter to wrap it. If she doesnt like it can she bring it back......if thats not her birthstone, can she change it to another one..... Clothing dept, samething.Guys were grabing stuff and putting it in there carts without even looking at the size,no to mention the color. But the best is the 'deer caught in a headlight' look. Every guy that i passed, was looking in someone elses cart,trying to get ideas for themselves. Last minute shopping is where i find Christmas.The Mall music, the smiling faces,the empty shelves,and everyone you meet says MERRY CHRISTMAS
