Breathe
"Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him... what?
Answer: A super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis."
Ok, its not original, but still kinda cute. I was sent this and some other puns back in October of '03, and saved it. I have just recently realized that not only am I a pack rat in my physical life, I am also a pack rat in my computer life. Parade (Sunday supplement newspaper) Magazine had a little essay this week about hoarders and pack rats and how they can get help for their illlness. I think mine is genetic. Paternal grandmom was a hoarder, world class.
Tomorrow we plan to make at least five sets of glasses for evacuees who have been temp-settled here. Another private OD is donating the exams (his wife works with Red Cross and she set it up.) Our docs are a little leery of tying up their chair time with folks who can't afford to pay for replacement glasses, but I have to give our docs credit in that they donate over 50 exams a year to indigent people in our area. Maybe they will kick in some more exams if we find a lot are needed.
It feels good to be able to do something as well as donate money. I can't go to the gulf coast, but maybe I can help make life a little easier for some who move up here.
