Surely not! We always stick to the subject don't we?
Its just thinking outside the box and the key to that is to have a very small box!

I've noticed that often you run into some may sub-discussions they often warrent thier own threads!!!

i've really just wanted to say hello informally to everyone and get to meet people.

To be honset i think KC is a bit if a bum deal and we all could do better without it, so just to get to know others experiencing it informally makes us all feel better knowing there's people out there in the same boat.

Anyway ((stands up)) I'm dan, i work as a nurse, and I'm an alcoholic....... wait wrong support group..... I have KC, newly diagnosed. I've suddenly decided to become a druid (they have a really cool way of life) i have a small allotment and love to grow food and bake. I listen to every kind of music going, and have a very laid back way of life.

Where possible we do split topics as moderators, howver soemtimes it is note easy as some annoying people have a last paragraph bringing things back on track :x

Any way you ahve seen my posts, have wife, daughter, two rough collies and three cars.

Frustrated racing driver as KC has meant I have had to retire for a third time :x

Twice down to KC :(

So glad I got extra qualifications so will stick to the day job as an R&D chemist :D

Hi Dan

My name is Brigid, and I live in Manchester. I was a primary school teacher, (Early years Specialist) but found this increasingly difficult to manage thirty small children and two very small contact lenses.

Now I work at the university with future teachers. They are not much easier to manage than the small children, but are more understanding about "bad eye days".

Recently, (July) I was prescribed with new contact lenses which are much bigger than I had before. They are great because they don't fall out, are easier to find when dropped, give me really excellent vision and are very comfortable once in. They are not great because they are difficult to get in, very difficult to get out and hurt like :evil: for the first hour or so after being put in. To the point that I have to sit in a darkened room with my eyes shut for the first thirty minutes.

Cheers
