Paul,
Eye can sympathise with you; have a cataract in the left eye but it’s not worth operating on yet, had one removed from the right and now have 20/20 in that eye. The eye doc putt a new lens in and I have to carry a card with the details in case I’m ever injured and unconscious. All the best with the ops and you’ll be seeing much better; but it’s not as dramatic as for deaf people who get their hearing restored, they discover that farts are not generally silent.

Thanks Foxy
An excellent link, truth telling is something some on here can't get their heads around, or refuse to acknowledge the truth. It's a fact 80% of the Aboriginal population was wiped out in a little over 100 years of European settlement. Their numbers have only recovered to pre-colonial levels today through the infusion of mostly European blood, and some say only those of pure blood should be recognised, well that's about zero and those who say that know it. There is no way to change the past, but recognition of that past will give us all, white and black, the opportunity to come together and move forward. It's not just some white people who need to change, some Aboriginal people also need to change their attitudes as well. Keep safe and prosper.

Thanks Issy,
Funny story, last checkup for DL. She put up the chart and said what line can you read; I said; "sorry the charts in Chinese"..."no its not, you just can't read it" ha ha my op lady is Chinese. Well did someone say KFC. She passed me, saying; no driving at night, no driving in the rain, no driving long distances or on unfamiliar roads, and wear you driving glasses, I'm putting it on your license. Told me to come back in 6 months, and the bad news, more deterioration and a referral to a specialist. At first I thought the eye problem was from diabetes, but seems not, that isn't the cause.

The trouble with articles like that Foxy linked is that some people actually fall for that stuff. Not many I venture, but just enough to stifle progress for the natives.

Most Australians support a First Nations Voice to
Parliament in some form. The following link explains further: http://theconversation.com/most-australians-support-first-nations-voice-to-parliament-survey-157964# Posted by Foxy, Thursday, 27 January 2022 12:59:36 PM
