My friend got me an appointment with a GP ...
I understand it is an old story. I was thinking of the Disney film.
Do I have any reason to be concerned about the new Heartbreak virus or whatever it does?
Can you use some of the special glasses to correct your vision, or is it totally out of whack?
It's possible to do that, but the way it's been explained to me is that this is something that usually just goes away on its own. Right now I'm looking for medical conditions for which this could be a symptom, like advanced diabetes or brain cancer. If that stuff has been ruled out then the accepted medical practice mostly falls along the lines of "Come back to us if it's still happening in a year."
I've never officially had an A1C and that's really the only thing I'm sweating. At least brain cancer would be a quick end.
I've successfully replaced bent LGA pins quite often, but I have a very good close range vision, despite my age. An exacto is the best tool for the job. A magnifying glass is cheaper than a new motherboard. I know you mentioned that reading glasses aren't enough, but I expect a magnifying glass to be more useful for this. I admit that I don't know much regarding reading glasses, not needing those myself.
Why? Diabetes is quite treatable. Even with some reduction in average lifespan, you may have another 30+ years. With brain cancer of course it is not so much, but not so quick either.
Diabetes is just a very slow and very expensive death which for me would largely remove what little joy I could take in life.
Only if you trust your personal data to any number of large and largely unaccountable internet-based services. Facebook and Google apparently don't have a problem but Yahoo does, for example.
People born with it deal with it, so you could too. At this point you don't even know if that is the issue. Life in general is a slow death. Hang in there.

Fuck it. Just kill me.
I've thought this on a weekly basis lately. sigh.
Well this is the pub so perhaps you should also pour a glass and share your woes of late.
Interesting diagnosis.
I know a number of people with the diacritic, but none have the palsy.
Hah. Mine were submitted Jan 30thTime to do the taxes.

At one point I did not think it necessary if you know what I mean.
It's a little late to be starting nowTime to do the taxes.
Late is relative. Many have filed extensions.
I've always wondered about that because in order to file an extension, one must still calculate the taxes to pay anything owed or else you get hit with late fees and penalties. If you're going to file for an extension, that means you must have done most of the calculations anyway...
Doug,
I find that while taxes are complicated sometimes, it's beneficial to me to do them myself rather than pay money to someone else to do them. Unless a person is running a fairly large business, or has very complex investments, I'm not seeing why anyone would need to pay to have their taxes done. I filed as an S corp for a number of years. I now file as an independent proprietor because the costs of the the S-corp outweighed the benefits. I also do my mom's taxes which are actually more complex than mine due to pensions, Social Security, and some investments. In the end you and you alone are responsible for what goes onto your tax returns. I'd much rather do them myself than pay someone who might make a mistake. I find that so long as I keep a spreadsheet of my business expenses as I make them, doing taxes myself is relatively painless. No need to go through the proverbial box of receipts a week before April 15 like many people do.
Anyway, it worked out in your favor but it's a good idea to at least learn a bit about what your accountant did and why. Sometimes you might not be able to do your taxes yourself the first time, but next year you can copy what the accountant just by looking over the forms, and substituting the new numbers.
