Would it help matters if you rested your eye for a bit, Setanta? (Not that I'd want you to remove yourself from A2K, but I'm thinking about that eye ...) Some years ago I had a hideously painful bout of neuralgia that really caused havoc with one of my eyes. Agony!
And often worst at night, too. <sigh>) Anyway, I became a great fan of good radio during that time. No choice - TV or reading (my addiction!) were out of the question. (pre-internet) I even took to wearing an eye patch to reduce glare.
It was horrible & I feel for you, Set. The eyes are SO sensitive & SO painful when something like this happens. Consider resting your eyes for a bit, hey?
) I would never get close enough to them to be friends or in a relationship. However, I have had friends and lovers with very different views than me and its only lead to some interesting conversations and pillowtalk, respectively.
