I went to the eye doc yesterday after my eye was really bothering me for =
a few days and not getting better. Doc says, " You have something =
embedded in your eyeball. Do you have an occupation where you're around =
power tools?" Oops. I know better. I put safety glasses on for big =
jobs, but I had been unloading bisque and sometimes didn't bother =
putting them on when I grab the dremel for just a little burr or bleb to =
touch off. My eye is fine now and I'm feeling very fortunate so this =
post is to spank me and remind you all to put the glasses on every time =
you grab a power tool.=20

Hi Sylvia,
I am glad your eye is OK. What a relief. Thanks for the reminder. I
think many of us tend to be careless, when it is just a little job, but
eyes are so important, that it is worth that little extra effort.
Your warning reminds us all of this fact.
All the best.

Veena
