wait!......did you guys see that? There was a shadow of two men spying in the front window. One tubby the other a bit more slim (can you see facial expression in a shadow? well if you can't we can assume that they have silly sh!t eating grins on their faces as they slowly shake their heads back and forth while clucking thier tongues)........could it be the twins Twiddle Dee and Twiddle Dum come to add to their little black list?

Study links PC use with glaucoma
By Lyndsay Moss, Evening Standard

Heavy use of computers may be linked to the development of a progressive
eye disease, researchers claim.

A study in Japan has found that staring at a screen could be related to
glaucoma, which can lead to blindness.

The latest study, by the Toho University School of Medicine, Tokyo,
finds the risk is particularly strong for the short-sighted.

Glaucoma is more common in old age and happens when the optic nerve in
the eye is damaged, leading to visual abnormalities. The exact causes
are unknown.

The researchers questioned 10,000 workers at four Japanese companies
with an average age of 43.

The researchers, writing in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community
Health, say that those classed as heavy computer users tend to be
younger and male.

The team says there appears to be a significant link between visual
problems and heavy computer use among those with either long or short
sight.

A third of these workers were found to have suspected glaucoma. The
researchers conclude: "Computer stress is reaching higher levels than
have ever been experienced before."

I wonder what their definition of "heavy use" is.

Yikes! Too bad George heard you, Lola. Let's let Georgeob and Eva enjoy the mayonnaise while they can before bursting the bubble.

Just think of all the school kids who do EVERYTHING on the computer from before first grade on through graduate school and at work. This is a very real worry.

In recompense -- (with minor edits)

I have forgot much, Diane! gone with the wind,
Flung roses, roses, riotously with the throng,
Dancing, to put thy pale lost lilies out of mind;
But I was desolate and sick of an old passion,
Yea, all the time, because the dance was long:
I have been faithful to thee, Diane! in my fashion.

Ooooh, I'm reminded of Peggy Lee. Irresistible even knowing of a restless heart.

Sweet george......don't let my true nature disturb you. Anyway, I thought you liked me b!t@hy.

Excuse me while I go cry into my wine glass. Satire........it's a wonderful style. I wear it around my waist in order to look my best.

I love your poetry, george and all. One of my original wishes for the cafe was for poetry readings, singing, dancing and general debauchery. So good poetry is welcome here. Please don't stop just because I'm a you know what.

I like each of the several manifestations of your personality. That one too - even the ones I haven't seen yet!!

WE are the music-makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams;
World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams:
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world for ever, it seems.

Maybe if you'd known me as a child
And seen me laughing on the grass
When Georgie tickled me
And poured his Pepsi
On my belly button
You would have loved me....

0 Replies

An innie, I presume. An outie wouldn't have worked.

An excess of anything like that - tickling too - gets one close to God, and everything else on the edge too. Pepsi - hmmmm.....

No buttercream ?

0 Replies

just Pepsi and a little drop of rum.......

you call it God, I call it ecstasy.....

and yes, it's an innie.....but a outie would have worked just as well. An innie does feel better because one could make a little lake of Pepsi rather than the sticky, cold stuff spilling over my sides and getting my clothes all wet. But still........point well taken.

But hey, wouldn 't you like a Pepsi soda right about now?

Just enjoy the ride
There'll be no reason why
Cuz everythings alright
Take your time

The world is yours and mine
Look and u will find [and u will find]
The joy of pepsi
The world goes round and round

And now a little love song to rock us all to sleep for the night........until tomorrow, let's hope there is one........

Ah, lover come and lie with me, if my lover is who you are,
And be your sweetest self awhile until i ask for more, my child.
Then let the other selves be wrong, yeah, let them manifest and come
Till every taste is on the tongue,
Till love is pierced and love is hung,
And every kind of freedom done, then oh,
Oh my love, oh my love, oh my love,
Oh my love, oh my love, oh my love.
