Very nice.
I spotted they had the whole boardwalk pub reserved for them along with a large section of the boardwalk itself when I was leaving work.
It was p1ssing rain at that stage

Long threads make life hard for the Boards.ie hamster

Blitzkrieger

good stuff, all go ok? Its a good idea getting both eyes done separately, I remember being told by two different providers that both had to be done together!

corked

was meant to get them both done but had a problem getting the clamp around the first eye!

Also glad just to get the one eye done in case of a problem.

So, how is your new laser eye? Good for killing?

corked

it seems fine, just ichy now and again but i cant touch it. A tad bit red but the one that they attempted is looking worse.

Attached pictures!

I've never been part of a general chit chat thread before.

Hmmm, MY NEWS: I bought some halloween cookie cutters this morning online.

Maybe my lack of exciting updates is the reason I usual avoid these threads.....

I got squeamish at the thought of eye clamps. :eek:

Blitzkrieger

Me too. By far my least favorite part of laser eye surgery. :eek:

DeleveleD

I wish I had laser eyes... instead all I have are finger pistols... pew! pew pew pew!

miss_shadow

wtf why would anyone want anything like that anywhere near your eye. it's like getting an injection in the mouth. eeeeek

D'Agger

Got a cut on my eye a few weeks back - had to go to CUH and get it checked out - they check pressure by getting this rod to touch your eye

Doc told me to stop blinking - wtf was I supposed to do - it's a reflex!!

deRanged

oh man. that would freak me out. I hate anything near my eyes.

oeb

I had a stye removed from my eye once.

You know that injection you get in your gums when you go to the dentist?

Well the removal starts with one of them ....... into your eyelid :eek:

I would have thought you would have just used your unusual skills to make it disappear - like a coin does in your hand

Yeah, had something in my eye before last xmas. Went to cuh, doc looked at it and said I can see it. Put drops in my eyes then came towards my eye with a .... needle!! I jumped back, wtf like. A needle to catch the piece of plastic. He gave out to me too. Meanie.:o

D'Agger

I had a lady doctor who was sound however she failed to mention that the drops she put in my eyes to allow her find the cut on the eye were yellow....I looked like some sort of mutant in KCs getting my food after....only noticed when I got home

Same happened to me. Had conjuctivitus in both eyes and in the GP's office she put in these drops for me and told me to head to the toilet on the way out to give them a wipe, of course no mirror inside there. Went into college for a few hours with my eyes caked in this yellow layer. Looked like a serious drug addict. Was wondering why i had been getting such strange looks off people :P

nursemar88

Firstly----ouch

---

now i know why i still haven't gotten laser eye!! :eek::eek::eek:

Secondly yay new randomness/general thread!! :)

And thirdly... guys I just wanna get an idea here... i recently did a course to become a make up artist. I'm just wondering would any of the ladies(or mens OH) on this thread be interested in volunteering for free make overs?? Basically I need women to practice looks on and to be part of my portfolio. Thats all im asking really... Let me know what ye think or ye can PM me. Thanks

miss_shadow

i'd be up for that!
