My optician sent me to the hospital eye department as they said my cataracts need sorting. Saw them in 4 weeks and they were more concerned about my glaucoma which the optician never mentioned. followed up in 2 months next appt will be 6 mths

Interesting, my wife had her eyes lasered for cataracts and felt nothing. I saw one of my specialists after opticians sent me there regards cataracts but they said my main trouble was not cataracts but glaucoma, my eye pressures were 28 and 29 but yesterday after 2 months of eye drops they were 14 and 15. Basic thing they said was my age, but hopefully they will get no worse. They are pretty good with eyes these days and am sure you will be ok. As for missing words it is my memory in my case.
Seed seems to be holding, we all know the price is a steal but just when it bottoms every one has held fire.
Some of you are calling each other names again, there is no need for it. If you disagree with what is stated by a poster then just write your opinion with out calling them names. Every one is entitled to their opinion with out being abused by those who disagree. I have said this for years, and we have had periods with out name calling. Name calling looks like you are in the school play ground, instead of acting like adults.
I have learnt this over the many years I have lived and it gets a better response and discussion when done civilly.
to hospital today again, last Sunday had them call me at 9.30pm to say another appointment for Monday had been cancelled, probably because of the doctors strike.
Seed amazingly still have holders selling up, it just shows how disillusioned people are with Seeds BOD. Surly at this price it will start to rise.
You really are a disgrace, what do you want my birth certificate? there is something wrong in your heads all of you, who accuse me of not being in my 81st year. Did any one on here say anything when my dear wife and best friend died on May 20 age 80 after I had nursed her 24 hours a day. Did any one accuse her of not being 80. She is at rest now with Our Lord and our still born baby.
You really do need to look very carefully at your selves if you persist in saying I am not 80. I really feel sorry for your mental state. So be quiet and say no more.
Yes I try to keep alert, do have memory lapses, but the university of life has shown me what to think and comment on.
Well for your information, if you want to criticise me further , I carry on with Arthritis, Asthma, COPD (lung misshape if you do not know what that is.) Cataracts, Glaucoma, Mussel weakness of the bowl and bladder means I have to wear a pad. 9.30 Sunday evening Wick hospital phoned to say my appointment to see the specialist to look at my third hernia which is playing up, along with possible problems with one of the two that were operated on about 6 years ago at Raigmore Hospital, had been canceled for Monday.
Otherwise I am fine, limited in what I can do as my breathing is a bit dodgy. But mentally fit enough to put some of you in your place, who talk such nonsense. With the help of word-spell!!!
Although we vote Tory we have for the last elections voted for the liberals or what ever they call themselves these days, as they were the only party to dislodge the SNP (Scottish Nasty Party) up here, who were led until recently by the Wicked Witch Of the North, until her husband was asked questions bout the £600,000 missing from party funds.
Not happy at the budget giving more to the rich via their pensions, saying that will keep Doctors here. Wish I had a million pension fund. To be fair the Tories are trying to help some who do need it. Lets be honest they did very well and looked after all during the pandemic. That money they spent to help everyone who needed it has to be recovered. Sorting Putin out straight away while others lingered, another world leading action.
Oh yes I have offered my spare bedroom to a Ukrainian refugee. Hope those of you with space are taking one in. Sent £400 to Skiaf to match the collection our little church had for the Turkey / Syrian Earthquake fund. Not that I publicise it locally, none of you lot know who I am.
Very disappointed at the Blues first half display last night, recorded it while out playing indoor bowls.
Lets see if the Seed buyers can out match the sellers, surprised to see people still selling Seed, looks like I will not get my penny's worth of shares.
At Wick Hospital tomorrow for the eye specialist.
Take care all.
Please inform someone who is seriously considering to change from oil lamps to this modern electricity to light the property, what exactly are podcasts, remember I do NOT use any chat site's like facebooks or twitter. I read of people who spend hours on the facebooks etc, what exactly do they do for a living and their free time?
These sales at under 2p, who is going to buy while it continues to drop. Will be get to be able to buy at 1p. Most thought me suggesting to buy for 2p was silly. so do you think 1p is too far? I will not buy until it stops going down. Will buy at under 1p
The MMS are holding at 2p. They seem not to go below.
Always said if the lower paid were given more rather than extra given to those on 50k pa some receive, that extra money given to low paid would be spent in shops etc. Thus actually helping business's etc
A fixed all round % wage increase just makes the gap between the well paid and lower paid greater.
Properties need to be 50% lower to let ordinary people get a home of their own home.
When I was in my early 20s I paid three times my annual salary, managing a betting office, to buy a semi detached house in Sheldon Birmingham. So some one now on £450 pw should pay about £70k which is about 1/3 rd of what they actually cost now. Everyone would be better off with more to spend. Why has the cost of housing gone upo so much while wages of ordinary people have not?
The problem was multiplied when more married ladies went to work which only pushed up house prices as their combined income allowed them to push the prices up. Not sure why new homes cost so much in comparison, land must cost a lot more but wages of building companies workers are probably pro rota to the 60s.
One big over spend in a lot of places is so many pen pushers. computers were supposed to reduce time and paper but we have even more paper around.
I wanted to change my mobile phone from my late wife's name in to my name. Just change her Christian name to mine, simple, Oh no. I had to have a sim sent to me go 17 miles back to the shop to get them set up a new account, instead of simply changing the Christian name on the account. So cost of sim, postage, shops staffs one hour setting up the new account, and my cost of travel. Rather than change J-------- to J---. The worlds gone mad.
Local council office has girls sat chatting when you go in, filing their nails, doing very little . Get rid of some and get the pot holes correctly filled in, they came along and through LOOSE chipping in to the holes. Thank goodness I am at my age now and lived in a sensible period of time.
No doubt many of you will disagree.
dagenham often has a go and I had time last night to point out how silly he is.
All we can do is wait and see but Ed is happy with his wages, but will not put more in even at 2p
I only have a few these days, at 80 long term does not really apply.
To be honest I only keep a few for the chat on here.
When I asked what others would do if they were put in charge of SEED I got no response, even after saying what I would do. So no one can come up with an answer to our predicament
Maximum is £50k and other members of the family hold bonds for me and I usually get around £250pm. Your mother is not far out from what I get on average usually if she has £50k and gets £100, but some months I do get more. The most we had was £10k when we only held £10k between us many years ago. A long time ago someone who held £5 in bonds won the million, it is just luck who gets the big ones, some one has to win them. I always felt that having a £50k block would get more than if you had ten £5k blocks but it does not work like that as we have found out. When my wife was alive we both had the max amount but she always won more in value than me, it was her £5k bond that won the £10k. One block of £8k held by a family member for me had two wins this month with just 226 numbers between the winning numbers. This really surprised me.
As for dagenham I just feel sorry for him or her. He cannot even spell my name correctly, but can spell four letter words, over and over again, that comes of practice I suppose. These people are the type most simply ignore as they are not worth disagreeing with as they just go on and on trying to be clever.
I never mind people having a go at me, because while they are trying to upset me they could be having a go at someone who actually gets upset by such stupidity. If all they can do is try and find fault with others or have a go at them they must have a very sad life unfortunately and I feel sorry for them.
Back to 2p again after that little increase, one day the increases it may hiold, but when is anyones guess
