I've had those before. With floaters, if you close your eyes for a short time, they'll often just go away.

Had (occasional) flashes with zigzagging lines for years,, too--the eye specialist told me (after taking a full history) that the flashes, in my case, were actually ocular migraines--which means that there are no headache symptoms, but the auras are there. Those are annoying as they mess (temporarily) with your vision, but they also clear usually in a few minutes.

It's somewhat genetic--my mother, grandmother and I all had migraines and combo headaches when we were younger. Luckily for me, it didn't happen often, maybe every few years I'd have one.

You know the girl that did my preliminary work before seeing the dtr mentioned the headaches. I am going to look into that. Thanks! My DD gets migraines. Not me or DH though.

That’s because DD took him to a trainer. He is doing really well now. He still has some work on coming back when they call him though.

I took Jack to dog school training classes when he was about 8 months old.

He flunked out.

Hey, @donaldtoo , haven't heard from you in a few days here. Just making sure you haven't imploded from overindulging your dinner on Thanksgiving! (I ate so much I thought I was going to burst!) One of the best things made for people include an elastic waist.

I used to get nasty migraines, but when I got pregnant and since then, I only get auras and no debilitating pain, which is sooo much better. The auras are annoying, though, and last up to 15 minutes for me.

I got all my decorations out of the storage area I have besides the tree. I'll being starting tomorrow. I have 7 brackets up now for my 2 Christmas shelves now. My 2 shelves are up I have other spots that I have to decorate also. I will not show any pictures. I don't like showing pictures of my stuff.

I am willing to giving information on one of the shelves with brackets. It will include a Disney Village Deluxe Castle. There will be Fireworks above the castle.

That sounds beautiful.

I was given some for free a couple days ago. I bought something at Disneyland and the cast member asked me if I wanted some, she said they were free. So I said sure and planned to give them to my niece. They are cute.

Cool!!

Intermission is almost over. The concert is really great

Awe, she looks sweet there.

My little Orange Bird is still encased in ice today. No melting here just a frozen tundra.
In the greater N. Illinois area we still have over 30,000 without power and 200 Power Truck teams here from other states helping us out.

 

[Gabe1]

Trying to catch up. That looks amazing!!

It was yummy. I had the leftover half of the Ribeye for lunch today, broiled it to rewarm.
Slurp'd it right up.

What time does school start? I believe ours is 7:00 am. See the buses running at 6 am.

EDIT: I spy my little Dumbo in the upper right, I guess just for you lol.

Nice! I took a sick day from work today (nothing major, just a cold my brother was kind enough to share with me...) so I spent all day on my Surface. I finally checked the battery at around 7:30. Err...9%. Whoops. Charges a heck of a lot faster than my old one did.

 

[Gabe1]

Yes, this one has been awful. The wind is crazy. We were lucky to keep electricity. A lot of people have been out since Sunday. I look outside, and the service line to my house is very weighed down with the snow. It was a good thing we didn't have school, as shoveling the drive was an all day job. It is so heavy, with icy stuff packed under, that you had to do it in short shifts. And I still haven't been able to get through to ComEd about the limb that fell, but is caught on an electric line. And in case you were wondering...Oh look! More snow! Grumble,grumble.

A block from here a big honk'n branch broke off and hit a electric pole that also held a major transformer Sunday night. My friend lives on that block and at about 11pm Sunday night her husband not only heard the loud boom but said the entire area lit up in a bright orange fire ball. The lights only flickered here during all that so apparently on the different transformer grid. This afternoon there were 4 power trucks lining the block. Sure hope they got the power back.

 

[Gabe1]

Well we missed snow here. I didn’t want any right now. It is 29 degrees and cloudy though.

17 degrees here but the wind is dying down a bit.

I don't know how this iPad will be however my new iPhone takes longer to charge than my old iPhone ever did but it holds a charge much much longer than the old one did. So we shall see with the iPad.

 

[Gabe1]

Sympathy like, please tell me you're in until it's safe out there!

I had things to do today. I only went to Target to pick up a couple things and a few extra things I didn't know I needed and came back. There was still too much frozen gray stuff on the roads and in the parking lot. Didn't venture out again. Mt. Laundry instead.

But this made me miss Walter.
