I had a friend at University who used to carry his lenses in his mouth, wedged up between his upper lip and the gum ridge that held his upper teeth.
He always used to say that he was careful about cleaning them afterwards, before he put them back, but I never saw any evidence of that care being exercised

i feel we have diversed slightly from the original thread but i hope it shows that life goes on for all us KC sufferers and has said before, one of us has been there and done it all before so your among friends who really can relate to to your problems

i always say with KC a sense of humour really does help you get through the bad days

Carol,
I favour women who go for the natural look, never got the hang of the taste of makeup during a drunken snog
Never sufferd eye infections, but then again the area I used to play rugby was probably pretty sterile after it got irradted with nuclear fall out from the Chernobyl disaster. Iradiated myself a bit on the farm I worked at, I used to put milk on by Frosties straight from the cows udder, as fresh as you can get.
It was a good few days before we were told to start tipping the milk down the drain because of the readiation!
Take comfort in this, as we are predicted to live until we are into three figures, you still have many years before you reach middle age. Plus I think mental age is more relevent, in which case I am not a teenager yet

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
My chat up line when I was at college was 'Look deep into my eyes and you can see my operation scar.'
The girls would and they would have to get close, well then it is all too easy to steal a kiss
Now married to one of those dumb blonds
I mean my lovely gorgeous careing wife
On the subject of computers, I have just droped a drawing pin in the curser arrow keys, so now when I move the curser I get a stabbing paing in my finger.
Any ideas beyond stop using those keys?
