    Do It Pt.2

    You go to Ohio University and they are angry about drinking? OIC, you are underage....yup that is one of those stupid things they are really pushing on these days. But, OU is one of the top party schools in the country, no? At least you don't go to OSU, cuz if you did you would be screwed.
  2. Vision insurance usually just gives you some type of discount ~15% the rest is up to you. If you have an HCSA you can use that and write the surgery off. None of the procedure hurt, the post-op feels like snowblindness. Your cornea has amazing healing abilities, they give you some dopey glasses to wear to bed for a few nights but the cornea reattaches in like 24 hours. I was 20/25 immediately as well, could have driven home except for the dialation drops. The best feeling was throwing my glasses away right after the surgery and walking out to the car able to see.
  3. We used Helicoils on the BBC we ran in the dragster. Worked great, easy to install.
  4. I have had it. You need to know a few things before you get started. Most of the problems that occur post-op are related to getting the surgery done on the wrong machine. Not all offices have every type of machine so they will "sell" you on the machine they have. If you have a bad astigmatism you probably need a NADAR machine, if you have a large pupil diameter, you need a Bausch & Laumb Technolicas machine, etc... So I suggest NEVER going to the $299/eye place because they only have a visx machine and those are the cheapest and only fit about 10% of candidates. Get more than one exam (they are free) and make sure they are telling you about the lasers. I had mine done at Lasik Plus, they have 3 different machines (though the NADAR is in Cincy) and they seemed very good at what they do. Here is how the surgery works. You do a pre-op appointment where they check your exact problem out, then they make sure your corneal thickness can withstand the surgery. Then they come up with a suggestion on which surgery/laser you need and give you a quote on pricing (with some options). You come in on operation day, fill out some paperwork, take a vallum and wait for them to be ready. They take you back into the operating room and you lay under the laser. They patch one eye and put a device on the eye they are operating on. This device first draws a vaccum on your eye-ball and you go completely blind, then it inserts a scalpel and makes a horse-shoe shaped cut into your cornea. This is where it gets strange, they release the vaccum and flip your cornea back. You are basically blind but can make out some light etc... You are told to look at a red light and the laser starts firing. Depending on how much you need done the laser runs for a few seconds up to a minute or two. Basically it is burning a new prescription into the meat of your eye-ball. Then they flip the corneal flap back down and move to the other eye. I started out 20/400 and finished 20/15. The procedure took 5 minutes total for both eyes and I can honestly say it is the best money I have ever spent. I have 5 or 6 friends that all had it done and they say the same thing.
  5. I would buy a corporate suite at the shoe and hock tickets for next year, that'd prolly turn a profit.
  6. Wait, who is wanting to be employed Pete, or someone else?
  7. Opinions? I see an Adjunct position open for them and am interested in some side money.
  8. There is a big difference in someone handing you a gun and saying, "point it that way" and taking a professionally prepared course. I used to live in Minnesota and at 12 every kid takes firearms safety in order to go hunting. Topics covered are things like weapons safety, first aid, target identification etc... More than just "point it that way". Seriously do not fear the unknown. There was an incident a few years ago with some guy shooting up a school and one of the kids saw the guy's rifle jam. He picked his moment and knocked the guy out, it is not bad to know how they work.
  9. http://www.nbc4i.com/news/10111865/detail.html HILLIARD, Ohio -- A warning was issued for the parents of children in Hilliard City Schools on Thursday.Hilliard police said they are investigating the attempted enticement of a Hilliard Davidson High School student, NBC 4 reported.

The man was wearing a black ball cap and had two earrings in his left ear.Police searched for the driver, but were not able to apprehend him.
  10. Um, go to the New Albany shooting range and take a class. It is good to know about guns, for many safety reasons.
  11. Um, I couldn't have my gun with me because the restaurant has a sign stating no firearms.... Crimials have all the rights.

    Surveyor

    I need to have a parcel of land surveyed for a lot split... Anyone on here a surveyor?
  13. Either Grainger or TSC would leap to mind. You would be amazed the kind of pump hardware TSC has.
  14. If it is more than 3 oz of liquid you cannot transport it thru security. If you buy it on the other side of security you should be Ok. Passengers may have the following items, but must declare them to TSA at the screening checkpoint if items are not contained in a clear transparent re-sealable 1 quart (1 liter) size plastic bag and/or are over 3 oz. (90ml): * One clear transparent re-sealable 1 quart (1 liter) size plastic bag containing liquids, gels and/or aerosols in containers of 3 oz. (90ml) capacity or less per container. * Medications (liquid, gel and aerosol) * Liquids (to include juice) or gels for diabetic or other medical needs If you pack it, double or triple bag it and wrap it in your clothing and you should be OK. You used to be able to carry it so long as you didn't drink any but alas the terrorists have yet another annoying victory.
  15. Isn't OSU a state funded school? Who is getting the revenue from the ESPN Only broadcast? I am pretty sure they are on thin ground here, if the state funds the athletes, the citizens should have a right to view the game in some way.
  16. I don't do web-design but if you go to http://www.yomdesigns.com I can vouche for him. so can hwilli
  17. I think the gift on the first sweetest day as a couple is wood..... I suggest giving her the wood.
  18. I have heard similar stories of shouting OH on the Eiffel tower in Paris (France not Vegas).
  19. during the middle of the day, toward morning like 10 - 12, Target in hilliard. MILF central.
  20. I can neither confirm nor deny the presence of nuclear weapons onboard ships, submarines or aircraft. Please direct all further questions to the NIO.....
  21. Dallas is so flat you can watch your dog run away for 3 days. Last time I was there I didn't see much, good steaks and bars.
  22. As a student you can give your tickets to "family" and you just give them your ID. So, get your friend to hand you his ID for the game. Really they don't care about it because this loophole makes the whole thing too hard to track. He can upgrade the tickets to normal price but why bother? FROM: http://athletics.osu.edu/answers/football/2005JuneFAQ.html#11 11. Can I give my student season ticket to someone else to use during the season? Yes you can give it to another Ohio State University student who is enrolled for the autumn quarter and has a valid Buck ID or you may give it to a parent or sibling – no upgrade necessary. If you give your ticket to a parent or sibling you will also have to give them your student ID for admittance at the gate. Back to Questions 12. How do I upgrade my ticket if I cannot make a game and will not be allowing an immediate family member to use my season ticket? The Ohio State University Football student season ticket is sold at a discounted rate and its use is intended for those who are current autumn quarter students. If a student elects to allow a member of the general public to use their student ticket and does not want to give them their ID to show at the gate the student may upgrade their ticket to the public rate. Upgrading is available on a game-by-game basis the week prior to the game the student wishes to upgrade. Upgrades will not be done the day of any game. The student whose name appears on the ticket must bring their season ticket and valid student ID to the ticket office to facilitate the upgrade. The cost to upgrade will be based on the difference between the student discounted individual game rate and the public individual game rate as well as a service fee that will increase with each subsequent upgrade during that season.
