I had that problem with my dog. She was a diabetic. She lived 9 years, roughly. The vet told me if she could live numerous years, which is impossible for dogs, but if they could, the cataracts would slowly go away. I will say that I saw it happening on her. A very small dot on the center of her eyes/on the center of the cataracts, that very slowly got a bit bigger. Nowhere near what it needed to be though, by the time she died. I wish like hell she could have lived as long as dogs normally do, though. She went through hell, on her last night alive. We both did. I tried like hell to save her/keep her alive until the vet opened. I didn't have the 200.00 required for the emergency hospital. Bastards! She died about 30 minutes before the vet opened. Here I was, trying to bag her up, and get her outside, while crying my eyes out. Now that was a sh!tty day. Just a very few years ago. Three or so. My mother died June 25, 2013. I think it was roughly a year before that.

Could I be more depressing right now? Sorry! I should probably get some sleep, anyways. I have to run some errands, in a bit, and unfortunately for me, I have loads of business to do today. Woo Hoo! Lucky me!
It sucks not being able to afford health services. My dog is only 5 and he's blind, but I can't afford the cataract surgery
Thanks! It does suck, and then I see these Laser Spine Institute commercials, and I hate to hear those people carrying on about how great it is, when I can't do that for myself. Too expensive. Oh well!
Glad your feeling so much better Destiny. That must feel like hell.
For the past couple of weeks, I've been a 100 on the 1-10 pain and nausea scale. It's been miserable and depressing. I changed the way I do my meds, today. I altered them quite a bit, because I knew a part of this was the pills making me sick. Anyway, for the first time in a long time, I'm a 0-1 on the pain and nausea scale. I can't believe how good I feel. I must share this in my thread, and catch the hell up on this board.

I met a guy from Estonia this week. I think he wants to give me a job.
So I got an Amazon FireTV stick in an ... erm ... fire sale at Tescos.

It seems a decent little device and a lot more capable than a Chromecast but it's got the most awful user interface I think I've ever seen outside of a cheap knock-off brand.

Free and paid-for stuff is muddled together on the home screen with no way of telling which is which (and I got the 30 day Amazon Prime trial so have a large amount of 'free' stuff at my disposal) until you click on it.

I've got a feeling that I'll be modding the snot out of this thing pretty soon and installing a custom launcher.

I've just checked that mansion. Greystone.

There's tons of high end movies and shows that have used it.

Eraserhead, Batman And Robin, The Bodyguard, Ghostbusters 2, The Prestige, Rush Hour, All 3 Raimi Spider-Man movies, Trek Into Darkness, X-Men, Knightrider, Death Becomes Her plus loads of others.

Stolen from a massive gaming site in regards to that must have Solo fridge:



Boba Fett: What if it doesn't stay cold? This soda is worth a lot to me.

Vader: The Empire will compensate you if its flat and warm.
