OOH OOH Pick me! I have a bunch of ideas for grants. REALLY good ones too, not just your ordinary elephant poop sculpture of the virgin mary.

I saw this number once "For a good grant call 1-800 SHA WNEE" but I never called...

Hmmm, which one best exemplifies eye twitchies? I like the head smacky one because that's what I feel like doing when my eye starts twitching.

At work we used to say that a twitchy eye meant you were coming into money.
In fact my friend and I made it up one afternoon as a fake old wives' tale, and got a lot of pleasure from hearing it repeated. I'm sure other offices have been brought round to the new-old belief by now.

We figured that having twitchy eye was annoying enough to warrant some kind of prize from the Universe.

Shawnee123 · 01-24-2011, 01:12 PM

Wouldn't that be awesome?

But I call them Old Husband's Tales.

Shawnee123 · 01-25-2011, 08:39 AM

My eye is still twitching, and now I have one of those funky little spots (do they call them 'auras'?) where everything is a certain part of my sight is blurry, looks like little zigzaggy lines. Crap, as I typed this I realized it's growing.

WTF? Hard to see to work, or even read what I'm typing. I went to bed at a decent hour, trying to rest my eyeballs.

a Google for twitchy eye aura says you are having an eye migraine, which is usually painless. Also known as a silent migraine.

Shawnee123 · 01-25-2011, 08:51 AM

It's grown. This sucks!

I googled how to get rid of one. Basically...ain't gonna happen. I guess it'll go away on its own, but when?

Spexx? HELP! Any ideas, Eye Man?
