I was, but I think I let it lapse. There is no group here, so it is difficult.
Higs, Kather> Katherine, are you a member of the Red Hat Society?
50 is the qualifying age.

Such a beautiful son you have. Nice quilt too! Thanks for sharing, Carol in TN
It is not that bad, Jan, BL had a video made. He always does that so they can see how things went etc. We all got to see it. You can always get up and walk out. It was interesting to see. Very clever how they use microscopes to do all that very fine surgery in an eye. Everything is small.

Noreen, that does not necessarily mean that one is mature at 50 though.......LOL
Els
You can become a member at any age, but if you're under 50 you must wear a pink hat and lavender clothes. You must be 50 to wear a red hat.
And I think the whole point is that we don't have to be mature at 50 :P
BB
though.......LOL
They used to be Els, but not any more. Now they use a very fine ultrasound probe to break the lens up and then it is aspirated (sucked) out.

Els
True!

Ummmmm.....only if you can tell me how to detach the small boy that loves his Toronto Maple Leafs quilt!

LOL, well, I didn't want to ask when one is old enough, mature seemed like a nicer word! Like DH says tho (being a man of the Peter Pan persuasion).... I may grow older, but I don't grow up, LOL! Noreen ;)
I could take him, too. He is a sweetie, after all.
Higs, Katherine
sounds to me like we are all, either in our second childhood then, or recycled teenagers..

I'd say I'm probably a recycled teenager personally, I rather like that as a description: Thanks Cher, I may have to use it on occasions if I may Love & higs Christine
