Related: About this forumDowntime for Democratic Underground on Monday, February 26th
This discussion thread was locked by Skinner (a host of the Announcements group).
We are expecting to have some downtime tomorrow, Monday, February 26th around 3pm ET while some upgrades are performed on our servers.
We do not expect the downtime to last more than an hour, but unexpected things can happen.
Thanks

(11,400 posts)I was looking into that a little bit back and got distracted with something else. I'll see what I can do.

(19,612 posts)I wasnt complaining, but Im deeply grateful if it could be fixed. If you type without contractions it reads like youre being a jerk in the headline sometimes, and if you use them and theyre lost you look lazy at best.

(4,033 posts)Then I'll be having cataract surgery and won't miss y'all.
(For all you young whippersnappers out there, believe it or not, cataract surgery is now done on an out-patient basis. Arrive at 11:00 am and expect to leave between 2:30-3:00 pm, seeing better than you have in many years.)
(Just joking about moving the downtime, of course. Thanks for the heads up.)

(68,461 posts)I envy you. My cataracts are not yet bad enough for Medicare to cover them. Soon. I hope soon!
Stonepounder
(4,033 posts)and they never asked 'how bad'. The opthamologist said 'now' and we scheduled it.
Stinky The Clown
(68,461 posts)The eye doc is the one saying my cataracts aren't ripe yet. Second opinion and Medicare goes along with that.
Stonepounder
(4,033 posts)Although I had my left eye done about 8 years ago and at the time they told me I had a cataract growing in my right eye that I would have to have done 'eventually'. Then I went to the eye doc a couple of weeks ago and he told me that 'eventually is here'.
So, tomorrow off to 'ambulatory surgery'. Total of about 4 hours for the pre- the op and the post- then go home.

(9,791 posts)I had both of my eyes done last year. After 60+ years of wearing glasses all I need now are reading glasses.

(18,282 posts)... I could see what WHITE really looked like. TV was SO SHARP i scheduled the second one to be done asap. The eye drop issue was cake. One thing I didnt know what the second time they give you the 'really good drugs' they arent so ' really good the second time'. They arent as effective and i felt something like sandpaper touching my eye and my nose kept itching...but no discomfort at all. Even tho I had the lenses corrected for far vision i think I would have preferred to have had them corrected for reading instead.
Have fun! see ya on the other side!

(5,901 posts)We all probably need to give our eyes and brain a rest from the stuff were trying to keep up with these days. Spend some time in fresh air63 degrees in my neck of the woods.
We will come back shortly, refreshed and ready to resume our positions at the laptop or tablet.
Good luck with those Upgrades! We will be eagerly awaiting them. 😉
