    I'd like to have a spare head that I could keep in the fridge so that when I come home pissed I could swap the drunk head on my shoulders for the sober hangover-free head in the fridge.


    Good news for you!

    I'm sure people used the say the same about waxing. "Omg, just shave it every day!" Waxing suits some people better, lasts longer and all that. Lazering hair can be a permanent solution, once off thing and then you've to never worry about it again, or a longer term thing, knew a girl that had to get it done every six months or so she said, but that was it, twice a year and she was set till the next time, although apparently doesn't work for everyone.

    Not as sensitive as a vagina. But we all have things we would like to change. I'm up with the laser eye as well too, I forgot that on my long list. Definitely heard positive things about it and costs less in the long run considering all my glasses are designer and contacts are expensive too.

    Just get coloured lenses like. Going this far is ridiculous.

    I've worn colored lenses and they're fun. But I got LASIK so I wouldn't have to wear contacts anymore. And not everyone can wear contacts. I'm more curious to see what the actual results of this surgery are. Like I said, I think I've kind of aged out of it, but I'd be curious to see before and after photos.

    I asked my optician for tinted lenses and she said I was crazy, that people love brown eyes. Never did get my blue lenses.

    It depends really on what I'd be prepared to live with. If something bothered me enough to want to get something done about it then of course I'd pay whatever amount of money would be necessary to correct the issue, be it a medical or cosmetic procedure.

    A mate of mine pays about €3k a year for his glass eye and I used think it was crazy money until he showed me the eye socket without the glass eye... yep, definitely looked better with the glass eye in! :D

    A mate......sure.......One eyed Jack

    Ohh yeah, I didn't think of myself, lol, no I still have both eyes, just the vision is gone in one, you don't wanna go googling uveitis at this hour of the morning, but I only need to pay €7 for an eye patch because it looks nasty when it flares up :D

    I forked out €8k for a hip operation at 22 (ganz osteotomy to fix a 'click hip' that wasn't detected at birth) before I had medical insurance because I walked like daffy duck. The operation wasn't quite as successful as it was intended to be so now I'm having to go for a full hip replacement, which doctors are reluctant to do as they still say I'm too young at 38, but at least this time I have medical insurance.

    They don't really bother me as I'm used to the pain by now, but the slips, trips and falls are the worst bit (my balance is terrible! :o), and depth perception, but I'm used to judging that by now :rolleyes:

    My mate is well used to it since he tripped as a child and stabbed himself in the eye with a stick, but he drives for a living, never once been in an accident!

    Will your brain have to adjust the way it receives 'video' from your eyes after the operation efb?

    No. I like being unique the way I am without being tampered with.

    Your appearance changes every year like an inflated and deflated balloon. Over many years of this inflation/deflation scenario of putting on weight and then losing weight it causes crinkles wrinkles and other unwanted artefacts and lines on the body and face. The best thing to do is keep the weight exact at all times 100%.
