This is not true, a “good” optometrist will do these things if they treat young children. My wife’s optometrist lists himself and his fellow doctor as “behavioral” optometrists. They have a full program treating young children for various eye function issues at their practice. A phone call to an doctor asking if they…

Got a really nice coffee table book

I used an ipad and my iphone to create a video baby monitor while traveling recently. It worked reasonably well. I set up the ipad to look at the baby and used Facetime between the two devices and once connected I muted and turned off the camera on my phone end. Worked through all three floors of the house we were…

The TV series starts with the Cartoon Network series: Season 1 Dreamworks Dragons: Riders of Berk and Season 2 Dreamworks Dragons: Defenders of Berk (which are not on Netflix, both seasons are available on DVD) and then continued with the Netflix Series: six seasons of Dreamworks Dragons: Race to the Edge, all fill…

There is still nothing keeping people from purchasing peanuts or items containing peanuts from the various overpriced snack purveyors in the terminal and bringing them onto and eating them on the flight. Great Southwest is not going to provide them but are they going to screen everyone’s personal and carry-on items…

I believe you are confusing the “play station” with what is known as a “walker.” The “play station” is fixed in place, while the “walkers” were the death traps on wheels.

Northern Virginia?

What about The Librarians? I know it is not everyone’s cup of tea, but it filled my need for a genre show that was more lighthearted, campy, and fun than the current run of everything being dower, dark and broody. This show filled the hole left in my heart by the endings of Eureka and Warehouse 13.

You all are missing a big one. Dreamworks Dragons: Race to the Edge is a fantastic followup to the How To Train Your Dragon movies. The stories are compelling the characters are great and well voice acted. The whole series fills in a lot of detail that is missing between the first and second movies. The only challenge…

I think this differs provider to provider as my wife just had our first child and was seen 2 weeks after delivery and then again at 6 weeks.

MLS is not a FIFA recognized league as they do not meet most of the requirements (not adhering to the FIFA calendar, no promotion/relegation, and MLS doesn’t follow the FIFA guidelines on transfer fees being paid to players’ development clubs)

In Australia the way they get around the college eligibility issue is that young players get paid in scholarship money instead of outright salary. This way they maintain their eligibility to play in the NCAA if they wash out of the professional system. Seems to have worked pretty well for them as their men’s team…

Playing soccer since 1982 and it was already a thing then, so I’m guessing early 70's maybe into the 60's

I disagree with your zoo opinion and the night monument viewing. The key for the zoo is to drive and park in the bottom parking lot, I think it is lot D or E, then you start your visit by walking up and finish by walking down. For the monuments, you are missing out if you don’t see them at night, the Jefferson,…

I’m with you as a resident of the area for 35+ years, it is never called the DMV, people will refer to it as simply DC, or “The DC Metro Area.” If you are getting more specific, people talk about where they live as; Northern Virginia, Potomac, Montgomery County, PG County (never Prince George’s), Prince William,…

“Turn on the lights” seems like a vague test, it works great if you only have one light you are trying to control, but if you have multiple lights in various rooms or in the same room, I would think that is a more important distinction. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think the Google Mini nor the Echo can figure…

Question: What if you don’t have corrected vision (don’t wear glasses or contacts); therefore, don’t have a prescription and want to get lenses? Would I have to go to an eye doctor to get a prescription for 0 RX correction?

You may also have a legit soccer specific stadium complete by then, of course a 20,000 seat stadium won’t cut it for the Cup.

One of the problems we will see going forward is that as “improvements” are being made in DNA testing, the tests are getting so sensitive that it begins to question how the DNA got on the sample in the first place. I am not saying this for sex assault kits and the like, but for things like cigarette butts that are…

The Usry exoneration of the son doesn’t make any sense, unless it was a mixture they were interpreting incorrectly if the questioned sample was from a single source then the standard 17 marker Y-STR test, a 34 marker test and the current FBI standard 23 marker STR test should all come to the same conclusion of it…
