“Blepharospasm usually begins gradually with excessive blinking and/or eye irritation. In the early stages it may only occur with specific precipitating stressors, such as bright lights, fatigue, and emotional tension. As the condition progresses, it occurs frequently during the day. The spasms disappear in sleep, and some people find that after a good night’s sleep, the spasms don’t appear for several hours after waking. Concentrating on a specific task may reduce the frequency of the spasms. As the condition progresses, the spasms may intensify so that when they occur, the patient is functionally blind; and the eyelids may remain forcefully closed for several hours at a time. ”
Ok so besides knowing I’m becoming legally blind, I’m getting off my butt to get my $8,100 IRS tax bill, and $5k left of my daughter’s Pre-paid college fund paid off $917 balance of my MRI bill, by doing a bunch of movies, dancing, etc.
I found a doctor that can temporarily treat the uncontrollable spasms on my face and eyes with botox, as my current neurologist has put me on a total of 3 medications and it isn’t doing enough. Since the IRS has no sympathy for those who have a vision disability, and the stress they are causing me actually worsens my conditions, I can do adult movies and dance, which is virutally stressless types of work. Heheh.. So I can get back to preparing my daughter for a future for herself and before I actually become claimed legally blind.
>Peter Zaface writes on ADT: “I was thinking back to my first marriage, and I’ve got to tell you, it was an interesting experience. I married my now ex-wife in 1994. Her maid of honor was a young woman named Linda Shapiro. Linda was a really close friend to my wife; I didn’t know her as well as my ex-wife did, but we all hung out. My best man was a new friend at the time, also named Scott. Scott went on to become a great poet. My ex knew Scott first as they both worked at the same place. We got to know each other and we hung out on occasion.
“Linda Shapiro has also made a name for herself, but not under the name Linda Shapiro. Linda is now porn star Tera Patrick! Crazy world, huh? Actually, Linda didn’t become a porn star until the late 1990s. When I knew Linda, the last I had heard from her was that she was living in Idaho, going to school to become an EMT and nurse. It was a few years later that we discovered Linda’s new occupation. She’s a very popular porn star now. Keep in mind if you visit her web site you’ll have to deal with the usual porn-star web site content, like porn. A buddy of mine has photos of Linda signing the wedding license, so I’ll try to get those scanned and up.”
> AVN Hall Of Fame actor Randy Spears and his wife Demi Delia have organized the Jon Dough Memorial, a fund designed to raise the money needed to finance a proper burial for their close friend, the late AVN Hall Of Fame performer Jon Dough, who passed away Sunday, August 27th, 2006.
In an interview with AVN Spears confided that the late actor’s surviving family members “don’t have any money. That’s when I thought I should do something so I can bury him properly. We’ve set up a Paypal account. I put out a personal message to the fans in a blog that I consider it a personal favor for them to help.”
Click Here To Visit The Jon Dough Memorial at the memorial’s website www.myspace.com/jondoughmemorial, he further elaborates, “unfortunately there was no life insurance policy in place and little money to say goodbye properly. Money seems insignificant in the face of such a tragedy, however, these fine people have none.
“I implore you from my heart to help me lay my friend to rest. He deserves that. I need your help, please. Contribute anything you can, and what your heart feels. – Respectfully, Randy Spears.”
