@AOM: oh my gosh... you need a new job, pronto! That's draconian!

You can get a version of Firefox that runs off a USB memory key, I believe. Just something to consider!

@Kalev,

thanks for the info. We have a very regulated environment and periodic scans keep me from violating policy - to some extent. :)

I have Firefox at home on my mac. I'll check out the difference there.

@AOM: Having already gone through this with Beth, I can confidently say that you can download and install Firefox without having Administrator privileges on your machine. Yes, it is that good.

@AOM - I have IE6 at my place of employ and I can see my blog fine if I re-size the browser (the text just wraps into the more narrow space if I make the browser more narrow, and nothing ends up covered by the sidebar). So I'm not sure why that's happening to you. =( I want my loyal readers like you to be able to read my bloggy goodness! Do you ever read blogs through RSS feeds?

Rats. This is at that place where they pay me to do stuff other than read blogs and so I'm not at liberty to make such changes.
Good to know, though. Thanks!

@AOM addition: or at least get IE7. Not that I'm a huge fan of the Evil Empire but IE7 is definitely better than IE6.

@AOM: It's you.... get Firefox from getfirefox.com. It's Firefox 3 download day, so it's a good time to switch, too!

I'm sorry this is off-topic but it's related to not being able to see so...
I can't seem to size my browser window in such a way as to be able to see your whole posts. That right hand panel covers the right side of the text and I want to see it all! Waaah!
Is it just me? (IE6)

@Dave: oh my gosh! You're like channelling BETH! That's freaky!

But you forgot to mention what fabulous outfit and sexy boots she wore to the surgery. And hockey.

Hey Beth, lasers are like SPIDERS!

Excerpts from the surgery blog:

8:00AM Up, and waiting for surgery. WTF is with having to fast before eye surgery?!? BETH HUNGRY!

10:00AM Still waiting. You know, 8am, 10am, what's the difference. Two effing hours, that's the difference!

10:26AM OMG! Lasers in my eyes! YEAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHH!!!!

@Stacia - I think you are right. I AM a complication patient!

@Kalev - Don't blame me! It was Dan's idea. My audience asks, so my audience shall receive. Within reason.

Do not go with the phone command people! That's just garbage!

I cannot believe you put up a donation button. O_O

I think teh Intarwebs are scrambling your brains. :P

Stacia — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 14:36:43 -0000

I have a feeling that after sending them two e-mails, you would be considered a potential complication patient! Go with the other place.

Who needs eyes to blog?
Have you looked at all of the shit in the Blog-o-verse?

Some people make MORE spelling mistakes with their eyes OPEN fer Chrissakes...

If you can't see, it doesn't mean you can't blog. Just get someone to transcribe, or audio-log everything.

T-h-a-n-k-y-o-u.

I got the recommendation for the more expensive place from my optometrist. Can it really be covered if a MD recommends it? Would an MD ever recommend it?

Not sure if you're too far along for this but you might want to ask your GP or opthalmologist for a recommendation. Maybe even a referral so that it can be covered. I don't know...
Personally, I have a problem with doctors selling stuff or who are "in business". To me, they are no longer trustworthy on opinions about your health.
My 2 cents.

I can liveblog the surgery if you need me to :)

@Scott - Ya, I was kinda wondering that...like they don't want to put things in writing.

I think "phone if you have questions" is another way of saying "you can't prove we said that".
