I hate those drops they put in the eyes. I know what one of them was supposed to do and did do, that was to dilate my eyes. The other drops? There were two or three other droplets added. My pupils were dilated, but my eyes have had this filmy feel to them all day. Though that persists a bit, it is better and I can now read again. That filmy eye sensation is simply a creepy feeling.
Okay, fine. I will not go private. I really wondered, there for a bit. Remember, the title of that post was "Pouting". Rather than being sent to my room, I was told that I ought to quit pouting. Ha! Well, so I will for a while anyway. I have a fine lip for it though, online or not. See... *pout*
I could not go shooting today. I was absolutely bushed when I returned. I did not knock on my neighbor's door, I came in, maybe blogged a bit, then crashed hard. I just woke up, refreshed and ready. I have some non-biblical reading to do, online mostly. When curiosity is piqued, I... must... investigate... I bet cats know that. It is why they have nine lives and breed prolifically! Doh! I must have nine lives too, but I am down to 3 or 4 I think. But I did find out, darn it! *grins* I did buy 500 .22 long rifle bullets today though, so with the other two or three hundred, I should be able to sight in the .22 and get practiced. I will only use 10 or 20 at a time, from now on, to sight it in. I will then try to adjust or take it for realignment if needed. I have about 1,000 rounds for my .22 pistol, to plink with. So, if the rifle is not right and I cannot fix it, I will pull out the pistol and shoot everything. I have not used it on the target yet, so I may have to do that. Though that 1,000 rounds for that is high velocity and tends to shoot high to aim. I hate that. I might have to adjust it too, for the faster rounds. Who knows.
To clear that up a bit, I use standard velocity .22 rounds (for accuracy) with the rifle. I use high velocity rounds with the pistol only because they are not as accurate. I need the accuracy for the rifle since I will be using it to shoot for the hunters safety course (and hunting after that). The high velocity rounds are remnants from trying various ammunition in my guns or they were bought thinking I might not be able to find standard velocity ammunition. When I run out of high velocity rounds, since I have found a place where I can get standard velocity rounds, from now on I will only buy standard velocity rounds for plinking or hunting or target practice. As well, when money clears up, I will probably begin buying subsonic rounds to try in my various guns. They are a bit pricier, and iffy in the guns I have, but I like the notion. They might even be a LOT more accurate.
After breaking fast, then having had two meals, then sleeping and tinkering for about 12 hours, my blood sugar is 160. I do think fasting, for me and for this if it is not an actual main thrust, will be good. Watch those headaches, though, as K9 suggested. I wonder if that is more for people with a normal blood sugar? As mine approaches normal (140 maximum), and stability below that, I will know more. I am turning into my own lab experiment! Who knew disease could be so fun! *evil grins?*
My brain is not quite awake. It was excited when posting comments, but how conscious I really am remains to be seen. It will depend on if what I wrote is understood. Same here, but I am not as excited, so... Good luck. Then again, I am keeping it simple. I think I am going to tinker on the machine, then prepare a decent meal, and then read. And, like K9, I had a lot of problems writing tonight. I had to edit like a madman, both with this and my comments. Go figure. :p
Oh, one more note. Now you may know why I chose the avatar I chose. In the movie Hell Boy, the first one, the FBI guy told Hell Boy he had a choice. He did not have to be what he is, was, or how he was made, give or take. Not only am I big, prone to being quite red at times (I can flush or seemingly sunburn (though I do not actually burn, oddly, and am prone not even to burn my fingers in hot oil while frying chicken... weird, almost forgot that), I too had a choice. I could have tried to be what some aspect had cast me to be, or to remain what people who loved me knew me as, and I did choose. I would like to think I chose wisely, and with God. Same same, in so many ways. As one of my favorites said many a time, "And now you know... the rest of the story". (I am not good with quotes, but I try).
To you, probably, good day by now. So... Good day!
Doom, whas' up wif yore eyes?
ReplyDeleteWhy is they puttin' slimy drops in yore peepers?
Sounds like youse ready fer a revolution--yeow but thats a lot of ammo, ain't it?
Uncle is huntin' wif a bow in jes a few weeks, so thas' what he is practicin'--bow shootin'.
Glad ya's eatin' decent and yep--hang wif' God. All the rest is fickle.
OH wait--I see (ha!) it's part of treatment--reading yore earlier post.
ReplyDeleteMercy Chile, did I know ya had diabetes? sorry to heah that. Be careful wif that metformin stuff--Granny Cracker got in trouble wif' it.
Looky, Doom, I seen what the exchange was wif' K9--an yeah, jes' be real. Doan worry none what other's think, jes' say yore words wif respect, but be true to waht ya think an' what ya know.
Not sure what all is happenin'--or did happen wif' other bloggers so I'se readin' backwards to see what I ain't knowed. But this is sure: doan go private unless ya keep some part to share wif' us. We would miss ya.
Hi Aunty!
ReplyDeleteWelcome:)
Oh, that ammo? It's all .22 caliber, not so good for war (unless you are a crack shot like K9!). I shoot 100 to 300 rounds plinking and to get in practice for an upcoming shoot I am required to do (and proficiently) in order to get my Utah hunter's safety card (required for hunting here, period). I use that 100 to 300 rounds between my .22 pistol and rifles, and that up to 4 times a week. It's just something to do. And, rather inexpensively too, being only $25 or so for 500 rounds, if I go with high velocity (faster but less accurate bullets).
My diabetes, recently, was putting blood sugars up to nearly 300. That worried the docs. I did not want to really worry them by telling them it was up to over 650 (blood sugar count, or whatever those blood testers count) and was that high for over 3 months. These medic types are a panicky lot. Ha! As I said though, the tests, they used the drops for the test, where supposed to be to figure out if something was wrong. I actually think they are trying to figure out WHY nothing is wrong with them, because of diabetes and high blood pressure. My foot doctor and other doctor are absolutely baffled, too, as to why I am not dead, let alone why I am absolutely healthy beyond my age, let alone disease. I find it funny and curious.
Oh, fine, one woman tells me not to go private... I sort of take a dim view on going private. But two wise women tell me not to go private... What is a man who seeks wisdom to do but stay public? Not much, so I am staying public. Plus, D.C. (Desert Cat) said he wouldn't shoot me on sight, so I am still good. :p
