    Eye Correction

    How many PALS here have had corrective surgery for eyes since being diagnosed? I had to cancel my consultation last week because my dental appointment ran on too long. I had lasik in 2001 but it regressed and now I wear progressive lenses again. I'm hoping to get either lasik enhancement or...

    Good one-line jokes

    I found these on line. Enjoy. Today at the bank, an old lady asked me to help check her balance. So I pushed her over. I bought some shoes from a drug dealer. I don't know what he laced them with, but I've been tripping all day. I told my girlfriend she drew her eyebrows too high. She seemed...
