My eyesight gets worse every year because I spend most of my time staring at things close to me :x

Ever wonder if they would act like a regular cat and want to curl up on your laptop when you are trying to get work done?

Make sure that you get the right solution, some are only for hard lenses and some are for soft lenses. Having the right solution is key.

I'm use to it by now. I thought it was normal to have back pain all the time. It's just my lower back that gives me the most trouble. My sciatica on my left side flares up and is killer.

Thank you! :) Animals are my passion. My favorite animals that I've worked with are southern black rhinos, cheetahs, and lemurs. They are all so affectionate and just wonderful.

Have you seen Amur Leopards? They are beautiful, and a big more shaggy that most leopards are. I love big cats! However, unfortunately, they are very wild and dangerous. I've not gotten to work with the big cats myself (cheetahs are not considered big cats), but even if they have keepers they like they can be dangerous. I was actually just speaking with a coworker about that today that works with the tigers, and she was saying how they'll run up and roar in your face.

My eye sight has finally stopped shifting and have stayed the same prescription for the last few years. Been thinking about doing surgery to get it corrected for good.

Uh, we don't open that door, Queenie.

hmm maybe it is because I have been staring at my computer screen for hours on end that my eyesight is getting worse D:

Fool - It is a great one! I thought it might have been for the avatar contest where you are out of space and time.

X-rays. I had my neck and back x-rayed and she was looking at it going "something just doesn't look right" and kept staring at it funny trying to figure out why it just seemed "a little off" and she realized it was because there was an extra vertebrae in there.

That'll do it! When not out, I'm usually staring at a book, computer, or phone. All close things, so your eyes just get use to focusing up close

Naturally I am not going to stick my hand through the cage and try to pet the big pretty kitty, not that dumb. Although there are so many people out there that don't stop to think that this animals are wild and will kill because that is their nature. No delusions here.

Kind of wonder if someone else in your family has the same thing? Like possibly a genetic flaw? Or another step in the evolution of people. You could be a mutant of sorts!

Good, done with the dice rolling for now.

Sal - Yes, that is true.

that is what I was thinking too. Maybe you could enter that avatar :D

Holy mother, there are people chatting now and I am doing a terrible job keeping up.

Precarious, you don't open the door because you physically can't open it? Rather you don't want to see what is stuffed in there.

I didn't even look at the contests, yet. D:

A little of both, Queenie~

have you seen those videos of people getting attacked or killed by lions or tigers D: I really wonder what their thinking is sometimes :<

Queenie - Yeah, it is going very quickly.
I am getting distracted because I am working on tasks.
Fool just got nom'd. ^_^

I am also somewhat distracted because I am working on something

You would be surprised some of the stupid stuff people do. But yes, I would love to be able to cuddle up with them, because they look so soft and cozy, but I'm not about that life. lol There are people who work at facilities that hand raise and work in direct contact with large cat species that are able to have relationships like that with their cats, but that is not something that an AZA accredited facility such as a zoo does. It's strongly frowned upon, usually.

Not that I know of, but it is very possible. We only found out because of the x-ray, and frankly everyone gets back pain.

I think I asked if that was common. She said that it's something, I believe, that 2% of the population gets, so farely common. Then she just told me about the increased flexibility (probably why I can pop my back by twisting really easily) and more common back problems. I believe we got the x-ray due to my lower back problems, but it didn't appear to have suffered any prior trauma that wouuld cause it to hurt like it does. But the problem comes from a pinch I get mid-back, which may be from the extra vertebrae.

One of these days you are going to have to open that door and it would best to do it sooner rather than later.

Oh course I've seen those videos and I laugh at those people every time. They get no sympathy from me. Anyone that approaches a wild animal should know that they will react and act in an unpredictable way. They are wild animals, WILD being the key word in that sentence.

I'm not keeping up because I'm playing Mario Kart.

As you can see, very important and productive things.
