again at Midnight - in case someone has missed this cult classic it has
something for all of us - Ferrari Daytona, Porsche 911, Cobra and a Mercedes
Gullwing along with a crazy motorcylce, van, police car, etc all racing
Wow! Where are the rest of the pictures for this one?

If you come here illegally you get free health care, as much as you can
use, any ER has it. Nosebleed, belly ache, machete in your neck,
whatever. And you can get a gun too, just about anywhere except in the
bluer states where you have to get them on street corners in unsavory
parts of town.

Well, sort of. They'll give you emergency care. They won't give you
anything else. If you have a chronic disease, like diabetes, you're
pretty much out of luck...except that

At the risk of sounding like a smart-ass, have you guys tried contact

clue to change is when things start looking like I am looking thru plastic

No, I don't. But there _are_ three washer things. I lost one down
between the firewalls once. Two flat washers and the wavy spring

I got in close (but not quite THAT close -- she was married to an airline

Turns out that the disposable contact lenses and the $200-a-pop / clean and
reuse contact lenses come off of the same line. The only difference is the
packaging.

There is a significant difference between extended wear contacts and

permeability in all contacts slowly drops as the contacts age and
build up proteins, which causes swelling in
