Fuzzy Eyes

For the last few years, lately, when I watch too much TV, too much time on my computer or phone, or worst of all, too much time reading a book, my eyes get "fuzzy."  Everything around me looks out of focus, like this:

It's like a cramp in the muscles behind my eyes - the ones that control the focus - and I can't see anything well, even with my glasses on!  I asked my eye doctor about it, & he told me the muscle cramp theory.



Sometimes, I can get it to settle down by exercising my eye muscles.  The most fun exercise is rolling my eyes - that works best if my kids are watching! lol!!

Anything they can do, I can do to!

Give a kid a computer, & (s)he can learn anything!

I saw this TED talk on Ted.com today - I get it now - I CAN do it! - This awesome talk tells of the experiment of making computers with internet access available to kids from all walks of life & around the world; and how they learn & teach each other.  It is an amazing journey to tell!  Aparently, nothing stopped the kids in the experiments - language, poverty, location, etc - if they had computer/internet access, they would learn & could learn amazing and advanced things, IF left to themselves!

Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled for the help, instruction, and interaction from and with you, my friends!  I'm just glad we're not having to teach ourselves bio-engineering!
