Girly... I scratched my cornea a couple of years ago, and it hurt like hell. I can't believe you didn't know it.

I went out shopping at lunch. Wanted something new for the new job. Found an adorable pleated skirt. Tried it on in medium. It fit - PERFECTLY - zipped up smoothly without screaming in pain.

AND AND AND - it's my fattest day of the month.

MEDIUM. I've been in XL for a long time! I seem to have practically skipped L.

Shamey and Boobs - "Midnight" or "THE Book" as it is known in Savannah - is still huge in that town. There is a "Midnight" tour that one can take that hits many of main points of interest from the movie - Mercer House, St. Bonaventure's Cemetary, Club One, Clary's Restaurant... In fact, we are going to have lunch at Clary's tomorrow. It's just a diner type place - but lots of fun - and centrally located in the Historic District.

By the way, Tom Hank's bench in "Forrest Gump" ("life is like a box of chocolates...") located in Chippewa Square was actually a prop removed after the movie. Most tourists go looking for it. A replica is located in the Savannah Visitor's Museum.

Hi Girly! Hope that your eye is feeling better soon!

Afternoon all! How is everyone's Friday going? Have I missed anything exciting on the boards in the past few days?

No meltdowns or d3l3t3 fests that I know of, mom.

girly, would you care for some hot tea? Always helpes me feel better when I have the "ick"

Thanks, Jungle and Boobala!

I don't get it either, DQ. No pain at all! When she called the other dr. into the room to examine my eye, I was getting a bit scared.

Rath, you had to see me! I've been using these drug store glasses in order to see the computer screen at work and home. I couldn't figure out how my eye could've gone downhill that quickly!

On a good note, the left eye seems to have improved a bit. Probably to make up for me barely seeing out of the other one!


Edit: mom, tea would hit the spot. Thanks!

Hi Girly, at least, you don't have to wear a patch!

Jungle, I was only in Savannah for one day when I was in high school, but there is just something about the vibe of the place that stuck with me. I think the movie does a good job of capturing it, but I'll have to read The Book.

[junglered]

Posted: 10/6/06 at 2:32pm

Hi Shamey! Yes, read the book - a great fast paced true story that reads like fiction. I love how Savannah has so much history - it is the oldest city in Georgia - founded by James Ogelthorpe - and laid out on a grid with 24 or so squares based on a plan from London. Sherman spared the city as a gift to President Lincoln during the Civil War and the city (speargeaded by many of the city's leading WOMEN) started saving and preserving historic buildings back in the 1950s. Like Charleston, SC, Savannah is a treasure. There is a uniqueness to the place - and a bit a decadence - that comes through in the "Midnight" book and movie.

Jungle - after you enjoy dinner at Paula's restaurant, word is that you can catch younger son Bobby at certain clubs in town . . .

[junglered]

Posted: 10/6/06 at 2:38pm

Hi DG - Is young Bobby acquainted with Lady Chablis, mayhaps??

[DG]

Posted: 10/6/06 at 2:40pm

I have a feeling that Bobby is used to being the 'lady'

And, BTW, I LOVE the Lady Chablis!

[junglered]

Posted: 10/6/06 at 2:44pm

Toasts DG and Lady Chablis! Cheers everyone!

I hope that everyone has a fantastic weekend!

I'll leave you for now with the lyrics of one of my favorite Indigo Girls' songs - "Power of Two". All the best!

"Now the parking lot is empty
Everyone's gone someplace
I pick you up and in the trunk I've packed
A cooler and a two day suitcase
'Cause there's a place we like to drive
Way out in the country
Five miles out of the city limit we're singin'
And your hand's upon my leg

So we're ok, we're fine
Baby I'm here to stop your crying
Chase all the ghosts from your head
I'm stronger than the monster beneath your bed
Smarter than the tricks played on your heart
Look at them together then we'll take them apart
Adding up the total of a love that's true
Multiply life by the power of two

I know the things that I am afraid of
I'm not afraid to tell
And if we ever leave a legacy
It's that we loved each other well

'Cause I've seen the shadows of so many people
Trying on the treasures of youth
But a road that fancy and fast ends in a fatal crash
And I'm glad we got off to tell you the truth

So we're ok, we're fine
Baby I'm here to stop your crying
Chase all the ghosts from your head
I'm stronger than the monster beneath your bed
Smarter than the tricks played on your heart
Look at them together then we'll take them apart
Adding up the total of a love that's true
Multiply life by the power of two

All the shiny little trinkets of temptation
Something new instead of something old
But all you gotta do is scratch beneath the surface
And it's fool's gold
Fool's gold

Now we're talking about a difficult thing
Your eyes are getting wet
I took us for better and I took us for worse
And don't you ever forget it

Now there's steel bars between me and a promise
Suddenly bend with ease
And the closer I'm bound in love to you
The closer I am to free

So we're ok, we're fine
Baby I'm here to stop your crying
Chase all the ghosts from your head
I'm stronger than the monster beneath your bed
Smarter than the tricks played on your heart
Look at them together then we'll take them apart
Adding up the total of a love that's true
Multiply life by the power of two".

Why are so many people having eye problems? I swear, I know 4 or 5 people with eye ailments right now. Sorry to hear about it. Ouch.
