Foo - Necessary Evils

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.
I'm sitting here in my office with my sunglasses on (not because I'm cool or anything) barely able to see anything close up. I can't even tell really whether or not I'm making any typos. Had my eyes dilated this morning, one of those necessary evils in life. Now I'll be pretty much useless for the next few hours. At least the doc said everything was perfect and that my eyes are in great shape.

Try wearing your sunglasses at night.
You won't be able to see any better, but you'll feel cool.

Last time I had my eyes dilated and then had to work, I could see the refresh on the monitor. Made me feel as though I might have some kind of special visual powers. Alas, as I looked around the office at the guys who go to the gym, I realized, with a long sigh, that I did not. :rolleyes: :lol:
And the only way I could see the screen at all was to use sunglasses. Expect to be useless for the next couple of hours. So you may as well stay here and foo around like the rest of us! :D
Congrats on the good checkup, though.

Oh just admit it. You're trying to go all Mission Impossible on us. Either that or you have a bunch of fans outside your office door.

Why did you have your eyes dilated? Was it anything to do with checking your peripheral vision?

I'm not supposed to tell anyone so keep it on the down low....
He's blind as a bat. That is why they put him in those planes with all those sensors and stuff. The kind of plane that will warn you if you get too close to another plane or a building or enemies and stuff. He can fly with his eyes closed. He can fly while he's sleeping. He can fly while he's........Oh wait. I'm can't tell you that part. He made me promise. :o

How're the eyes, skiahh? Are you still wearing shades now because you just look cool in them? (Or so says Siu.)
Siu Blue Wind
12-18-06, 01:58 PM
I never said he looks cool in shades. I said hes OKAY looking.

That "hairy chest" thread got Siu all worked up, I see.
Not that I blame her....

Wow... I guess I should get my eyes dilated more often if THIS is what the result is!! Bring it on!!
Stacey - the re-arranging of my office wouldn't have worked. I could still see distance and large things, like desks and chairs. Even the folders on my desk. Now... had you rearranged the contents of the folders, that would have taken some undoing! And the taking down would have begun in earnest!
OKAY looking... guess that's better than troll looking (except, of course a.troll - she's gorgeous, of course). Unless SBW likes trolls.....
Why did you have your eyes dilated? Was it anything to do with checking your peripheral vision?
Just a general health of my eyes check. It's been over 3 years since my last opthamalogical (vs just having the vision tested) check. Something you should do every 3-5 years in general. I'm on flight status in the military so the health of my eyes is pretty important and I've had laser surgery (PRK), too.

:eek: Are you proposing a double-foo-date?
Well, hm.... Guess we could 4-way PM....
Nah, I don't think he could handle me. :rolleyes:
I have it done every year as part of an annual work employment. It's a good excuse to take half a day off.

I got a bad case of welders flash two weeks or so ago and had to walk around for 3 days with sunglasses on, even at night.

Oh you can take Skiahh, Vega. I told him how pretty you are. Besides, he's not my type. He's more like the big brother I never listen to.

Well if you're my sister (and therefore Jon's great-aunt), and skiahh is like your brother, well, that would just be too weird. :rolleyes:

We need to have skiahh post that pic of him again. The one on the couch. Oh! Show her your bed that I like too.

Your two pics from the Ugly Pics thread. :) I'll forgive you the mtb since you're wearing Lycra. :D
So, how s-l-o-w-l-y should we party so that you won't leave, skiahh? ;)

I tried baggies on the MTB. Kept snagging the saddle as I moved around. So I went back to lycra... function over form.
I've been told there are some baggies that don't catch, but at a hundred bucks a pop, it's not worth it to sample the shorts. Lycra works and is functional. That's good enough for me.

Why is the song by the Ohio Players on my mind?
SKIN TIGHT!

Runnin' folks in ditches
Baby about to bust the stitches, yeah
Skin tight (skin tight)
