Month: June 2022

Computer Vision Syndrome

Concerned about the impairment of my short sightedness a.k.a. myopia,
I opted to do a bit of research this morn.

May 2022, I visited my optometrist, and he removed my license restriction.
Testing showed I can see quite fine long distance.

Although he didn’t find any reason to increase the prescription for my reading
glasses I’ve taken note of the effects experienced with usage of the computer,
cell phones and Kindle on my tablet.

At times I’ve found it necessary to utilize a magnifying glass to view the words,
especially if they are grayed out or in fine print.

The results of my findings (after bringing up several sites) spoke of continued
direct exposure to the blue light emitted from LED devices and the damage
it can cause to one’s eyes. Ouch!

Although thankful my eyes aren’t suffering from the list of symptoms stated
in that article, I shall take all info read into account and begin to limit time
spent in Blogosphere.

It’s likely, too I shall delete several apps on my phone and replace usage
via Kindle with paid out-of-pocket paperbacks, a preference of mine which
allows me to highlight and ear-mark pages for future reference.

Although technology has proven quite beneficial, eventually we consumers
discover the somewhat tyrannical portions of constant upgrades, updates,
blinking ads, change of formats, complete change of programs, and issues
we didn’t create followed by a request for payment to repair.

I don’t intend to disappear 100% after auto-renewed for another
year. I’ll pop in from time to time to check on those I consider special
virtual friends, the ones with whom I’ve interacted with the past
several years.

Stay safe and enjoy your summer!!

A letter per week ~ K

https://nopenotpam.com/2022/06/12/a-letter-a-week-k/

place = Karawatha Forest, Australia
emotion = keen
adjective = kind-hearted
verb = keep
my animal = Koala

Sometimes in life one forms opinions and for certain I always thought the
‘Koala‘ was a bear.
Wrong??
“It’s a marsupial whose adorable features give off the impression it’s a bear.”
Research stated:
“There are approximately a dozen Koalas” in the ‘Karawatha’ Forest, a nature
reserve near Brisbane, Australia.
This cutie is far from ‘keen‘, an observance made while watching it stare at a
plate of toxic Eucalyptus leaves.
‘Keep’ it away from a karaoke machine. It’s sickening high-pitched cry sounds
more like an elephant.
This animal, an epitome of a cartoon teddy bear, is far from ‘kind-hearted’ to
humans.

Look you can purchase the stuffed version (mother and baby) at Amazon ~ aww how cute!

Simply 6 Minutes ~ June 14th

today’s prompt: winter scene

Winter wonderland . . .
Each night I take a stroll thru the center of the historic town.
It snowed today (six inches plus) and thankfully the snows were plowed.
A strange scene captures my curiosity.
WYSIWYG (acronym ‘what you see is what you get’)
I rather doubt I can make sense of this picture so best I take a snapshot
for talk reference – tomorrow’s topic at lunch.
There appears to be a young woman sleeping soundly wrapped snughly
in her sleeping bag only her face, hand and head are exposed to the
elements, the frigid temperatures>
This makes absolutely no sense.
Is this a rooftop on the ground since I’ve never seen a chimney placed
on a street.
And why does the snow covered ground resemble a quilt?
Maybe tomorrow I can think clearly, ask questions and find answers.
