@ossobucotemp,
I need to add that I'm also pumped to have squinny here. Not least since I remember she is a very good writer. I don't of course know if she can do it now, but maybe.
We have eye stuff in common, not to brag. I've retinitis pigmentosa, both eyes; traumatic glaucoma in lefty (5 surgeries), and blepharitis in lefty, thus crispy eyelashes. Life goes on, and I'm happy to read up on you guys, including bi-polar cub.
