Spike forgot that every single building in France has a perfect view of the Eiffel Tower  

Of course and, as a true french I'll complain, sometimes it's casting a big shade in my apartment,  really annoying

From what I understand, it’s only like that in fiction.  Apparently with the amount of tourists visiting there constantly it’s a huge commitment to go to the top like that.

Off to the eye doctor to see if I need some lasering.

The line waiting to climb the tower takes several hours, I've heard. Much like some of the rides at Disneyland. Not that I've been to either location to know for certain.

Yes, my mother took a trip there in 2014, and the wait seemed like it wasn’t worth it.

I’d probably agree, we climbed the inside of the Statue of Liberty when I was 11…Once you’ve climbed one internationally famous monument/structure the thrill is gone.

Yup, Paris' nit worth it

Come visite The Hortillonnages in Amiens, the castled in Compiègne and Pierrefond, the birds sanctuary in Somme, the beaches in Normandy, Bretagne wild landscape and it's pink granite coast..  So many beautiful and cool things to visite away from the pollution and the hoards of tourists in Paris

That sucks but it's a very common surgery nowadays

They will do one eye at a time If I remember correctly its a week between treatments. And Clo is right it is a quite common treatment

Yeah, and I know I need it done, but I can't find anything online about the doctor. I want someone who is highly regarded and experienced. I'm calling my personal eye doctor tomorrow and ask him why he recommended her... he didn't know I had cataracts when I saw him a couple of months ago--he just said my cornea(?) angle was a concern... and I will ask him who is the best doctor to go to for cataract surgery. I know it's a relatively safe operation, but there can be issues after, and I don't want those.

Hello my cheeky Nong Chai! 

Cheeky? I don't resemble that remark!   

[Drew Espinosa]

Howdy y'all!  I've been feeling under the weather lately, and coincidentally the literal weather has been changing as well to welcome the new season.

You take it easy babe, get some rest.  Don't make me drive 6 hours to come find you and wipe you down with a wet cloth.

Very true

[Bucket1]

The storms seem to have passed. It was loud and wet and more loud and more wet… but I have done better than my sister. Lightening destroyed a large tree and it caught on fire. Nice bit of drama for her  and she is still in the path of the storm. Keeping fingers crossed

Good evening everyone

Looks like tomorrow could be a bit rough - massive cold front is crossing the south west corner of Australia. A huge area has a severe weather warning for Wednesday, about a million square kilometers 

Please stay safe.

Rumor has it that the Canadians are sending us a bit of their cooler drier air. Something to make it feel like mid-September.

Is it really the Eiffel Tower or Nick and Charlie that makes this a favorite?

My dad just had the catracts in his eyes removed earlier this summer. The right eye while I was here in June. The left a couple weeks later in July. He had no issues and is very glad he had it done. Dad was just two months shy of his 89th birthday when they did the first eye. The ophthalmologist used lenses to correct his distance vision so now he only needs readers. He is thrilled. Mum and my stepdad had the surgery done several years ago. Of everyone I know that had the surgery only one had issues. He didn't follow instructions so his recovery took longer. He's the same guy who wouldn't listen to the surgeon or PT after corrective surgery for nerve damage in his neck. His recovery was delayed and not as full as it might have been. Do what you are told and you will be fine.
