Pluggers by Rick McKee for December 30, 2014

Well, that should reduce the number of individuals who identify themselves as pluggers.

I had cataract surgery years ago and they told me floaters would probably increase…. can’t say I’ve noticed any real difference. Tinnitus — minimum of five different tones at this point … good news is none of them sound like insects.

Pluggers hallucinate the darndest things.

I’ll take the bee any day over floaters.

Ah, I liked the M-14. When they started replacing it with the M-16 I used to tell people I’d let them fire a clip of M-16 at me if I could fire three shots at them with an M-14…at 1000 yards. But I never got to shoot anyone. A good thing, I guess.

Floaters are little bits that have broken off of the retina and “float” around in the fluid inside of the eyeball and can be seen. They can be very distracting, especially when new.

dancing spiders in your vision….got mine from a pine needle tearing my cornea.

Hits home—-afflicted with both.

I swatted at a floater once!.Damned near knocked me out…

Gray strings or spots inside your eyes that you can see, and that move around, making your eyes much like a living and sometimes annoying snow globe. On the other hand, if you are stuck waiting for a long time for someone, you can amuse yourself by moving the floaters.

what are floaters? LMAO!!!!!

What kind of bee gives milk?

A Boobee lol, barely……..

It’s good to know I’m not alone.

While I’ve had floaters all my life, I’m 60+ and only wear glasses when I want to read quickly. What I have been getting, however, is the hallucinations. Almost always in low light I’ll think I see something like a spider close by, but when I look there’s nothing there. The odd thing is, we do have spiders and when I see them out of the corner of my eye there is an emotional reaction before I actually see them. Not so the “hallucinations.” Getting older is like visiting a new planet sometimes!

Ear infections gave me tinnitus, which I’ve had since I can remember. I’ve developed more and more floaters since my 40s and 50s because of extreme nearsightedness. I retired partly because the floaters were making it hard for me to count chromosomes under my microscope.

Bees are an extremely important part of the ecosystem. Without bees millions of fruit trees, among other things, would not get pollinated. Bees are very much endangered by many of the pesticides. Please don’t swat them. Instead plant plants that attract them and don’t use pesticides.

Tinnitus ugh boy do I know
