I knew you weren't supposed to laminate a ss card but never knew why. So I looked it up. Security features in the card are interfered with when a laminated layer is applied. Applies mainly to cards issued prior 1983. Some earlier cards may or may not have security features. In any case it is not illegal to laminate the card.

fateful day on August 1st, 1967. Next to each of the 50+ names is our new Army service number and social security number. As I mentioned, I still have it.

Do Army dog tags still have your SSN on them?

1959 Frigidaire Custom Imperial. It's amazing how some of those vintage appliances are still in use today.

that were ideal for coasters. My coaster began life with wheels liberated from my Radio Flyer wagon, eventually replaced with genuine Soap Box Derby wheels. Later, I installed a steering wheel I liberated from a ‘49 Ford at the nearby wrecking yard. One day a buddy and I were booking down the steepest hill in the neighborhood when we hit a bump and the steering wheel came off (no nut). We crashed into a curb, probably going 25 MPH. The impact launched both of us across the sidewalk and onto a lawn. We just laid there, groaning for quite a while. No one noticed.

It's when the number of people younger than you starts to decrease that you have to be worried.

I have been waking up to blurry vision and use eye drops to clear my eyes in the morning and lately it hasn't helped. My eyes are staying blurry most of the day. I don't think I can drive like this. Had cataract surgery on both eyes years ago and also had the YAG laser procedure after the cataract lenses got blurry, which cleared them up, so it's not that. Have been increasing the size of text on my computer so I can see, which helps a bit. Made and appointment with my optometrist for next week. We'll see what he says. Maybe just a sign of aging... but it has come on kind of quickly.

Hopefully it's minor and can be fixed/corrected.

Was thinking maybe age-related macular degeneration (AMD). I think I remember Llarry talking about having this problem.
Will probably get a referral to see an ophthalmologist. Had a really good one but changed insurance to get a great cardiologist. Why can't all the good doctors be in the same network? |
