You could DIE!

So, as a running theme, here's another 'YOU COULD DIE' moment.

We went to the eye doctor today.. presumably so that B could get her eyes checked, F could get her first checkup, and I'd get mine done too, since I think the only eye exam I've ever had was the one during grade school.  Needless to say, F wanted no part of it.. especially when the machine blows air into your eye.  Oh well.  She wound up getting good marks on the other tests with the doc, so that's good.

However, I skipped past my exam.  The doc spends EASILY 5-10 minutes regaling us with various stories of (always) guys who have 'always' had perfect vision, who wound up getting diagnosed with diabetes, cancer, glaucoma, or worse.  He was just always 'lucky' to find strange things in the eyes.

Then we go through the tests, and find out that I've got at LEAST 20/20 uncorrected.  no problems with the eyes at all.  Punk ass doc... freakin me out.  B and the doc got a chuckle out of it tho.

What an amazing witch.

Don't let the door hit ya where the Good Lord split ya.  Maybe Cindy Adams should ride her broomstick home.

Then..don't...go...back.

I don't know how many times I've had this exact discussion.

I swear.  If I knew going to Vegas would be this painful, I wouldn't have gone.

Definately thinking that I will be running from bus to con and vice versa.

Overheard this morning

(Trying to get F moving this morning - currently downstairs playing)

B: Hey F, can you come help me pick out clothes?

F: Yeah, just a second!

A few minutes pass.

B: Hey F, is this outfit ok?

F (still downstairs): No.. I come pick out for you.

B: Gee.  Thanks.

F (running upstairs): Hold on, I pick out clothes for you.

 

Ahh - the joys of a three-year old.

GUI Scripting Tools

I ran across a how-to for Sprog the other day, and it got me interested in a 'how do I script things if I can't program' type of way.  Sprog's kinda handy if you don't know really how to get from step A to step B... I just wish it had the ability to dump out your Sprog code to bash or perl or python or something.  The Sprog site pointed me at Automator, which apparently is a similar tool built into OS X.  So, I showed this to our local script master, and he pointed me at a nifty Windows tool called Scriptomatic.  This is more what I was hoping for, dynamicly generating code, in multiple types (even python.. woo!) that you can copy and paste in your scripts.  Pretty slick stuff.  I'll update if I find any other similar/better tools.
