Twitch Doctor

04 March 2004

*Eye* have a serious situation on my hands. As it turns out, I have an eye twitch and have since MONDAY! Yup, that's right folks. Four freagin' days. What's a girl to do?

I have no idea what causes it, no idea what to do for it, but I officially feel like it's mocking me now. For instance, I'm talking to Julie at work and the eye starts to twitch. I feel like it's laughing at her and I get embarrassed! Owwwwwkay you say. Well, I'm letting you all know that as long as it's my problem I'm going to make you read about it.

PLEEEEEEEEASE send suggestions or help or my tombstone will say, "Here lies Margaret. She didn't go to a twitch-doctor and died."

And then the twitch doctor, he told me what to do
He said that ....
Ooo eee, ooo ah ah ting tang
Walla walla, bing bang
Ooo eee, ooo ah ah ting tang
Walla walla, bing bang...
Ooo eee, ooo ah ah ting tang
Walla walla, bing bang
Ooo eee, ooo ah ah ting tang

Twitches are common, much like "floaters" (little black bits that appear in your peripherals). When I went to the eye doctor, I said, "Some bleeder claims I have floaters." The doctor replied, "That's exactly what they're called and the most typical cause of them showing is a sudden change in your diet, or you recently swam in the ocean and the saline of your tears does not coalesce with the salt from the water." Twitches are quite parallel to floaters and surface due to much the same reasons. Your twitching may be due to the water pressure in your shower, creating a delayed spasm of your eye and/or a certain lack of food you've recently tapped out of your diet. Why'd you stop eating beets? Smile...those are some common causes, love. Being real, or till mention of the beets. On the bye, you need to visit 'Tonic' Uptown. You won't gather you're in Uptown, once inside. That, too, may cure your twitching of late. Some proper shaking of the backside, or gawking at the vast multitude of metrosexuals. Kisses,
JEC

Margaret, on a serious note, your dying. That twitching is a sign of a ...ahhhh.....a brain tumor.
NOT! It is either Stress in your life (Ex: Steve) or you need a new RX in your glasses. The new rx thing has always been a cure for me. Come down here to me and I will take good care of your eyes.

Dude - Floaters?!? Nah- Twitches are common
Says who?!?! When's the last time you got an annoying twitch?

Your twitching may be due to the water pressure in your shower
Maybe we should turn our shower setting from Twitch-Inducing Floater Crazy Pressuer to normal...
or a certain lack of food you've recently tapped out of your diet. Why'd you stop eating beets?
How do you know what she eats?
On the bye, you need to visit 'Tonic' Uptown
Ok - this statement is true. I hear that Tonic is the bomb-diggity. Maggs, I want to take you there with Steve. Three stories of party-techno mostly, madness.

Mama Juanita suggests you take more frequent breaks from the monitor and fluorescent lights above your desk. Go to the loo and rinse your wee, beady eyes and return to sopheava.com only when absolutely necessary. She adds, "Y'all be havin' a fine weekend now."

Holy crap batman! It's 12 hours and counting since the eye-twitch :-). Debbie's right though, I need some new glasses. A trip to Wisconsin Vision is in order.

When have you known your oldest sister to not be right Margie?

I am truly touched by all the love that's being shown on this post... We love you, Margaret, and we're behind your quest to find the cure for the common eye twitch no matter what! I think we should all pin little pink ribbons on our shirts next week in honor of our beloved Sopheava and her Twitch.

Smooch!!! XOXO
