I truly enjoyed our Global Warming today. It was over 80 degrees here in Saint Louis. In Winter. Pear trees are all abud. Of course, soon the white buds will be particularly lovely when glazed by an early spring ice storm.
I find I vote based on how other people will benefit, not so much how I will benefit, but I was taking a harsh look at Obama’s Promise Meter on Politifact and found he is to thank for the Gilenia Nurse Navigator who smacked my drug payment down to nothing. Or, at least, he is in favor of more Nurse Navigators.
Finally, I have pinkeye. A child did walk past me yesterday evening, but made no contact, so she was not to blame. I confess that for many years I have assumed pinkeye comes from stray fecal matter in the eye. I do judge various friends who have had pinkeye and I speculate how they got it. It does explain why so many children have it.
I blamed the dog. COME TO FIND OUT poopy-eye is only one of dozens of reasons one can have pinkeye. I am relieved.

Pinkeye is veeeerrrrrryyyyy contagious. I got it from an outdoor picnic where someone had it. She had been rubbing her eyes and touched the cooler handle to retrieve beer, which I then touched. It was a windy day so at some point I touched my eye and the next thing I knew I was tossing all my eye makeup that I might have used in order to not recontaminate myself. All of it except that really expensive mascara – I was in college – that I was sure I hadn’t used. I had pink eye again the next month.
Oh thanks SO much. If I have to gouge out my own eye, it’s your fault.
I came back from Phoenix with pinkeye, and no wonder. It’s gone now.
Pinkeye is the worst. I’d rather have a nasty stomach virus, not that I’m putting in requests.
Amy in StL – Handily, I save the eye makeup for special events.Allison – No! I’m spreading he word that pinkeye is NOT only from poop. Could be a virus. No gouging. Hattie -No wonder? Babies? Poopy little babies?Caroline – Really? We can trade next time. I’m quite comfortable with stomach viruses.
