I knew what you meant

I think the gel levels lower and don't rise, but I can't recall for sure
i think it's the other way around. the eye is the roughly the same size from birth til death (unless we're talking macular degeneration or something). so if the pressure increases, it has to be due to an increase in vitreous humor, not due to shrinkage of the eye.

damn I could have sworn pressure in the eye drops by about 8 or 9%. So the eyeball gets a just a touch smaller

well think about what the rest of the female body goes through- swollen feet, swollen abdomen, general cushioning for the fetus. there's a lot more liquid content in there, why shouldn't it go to the eyes as well?

Ewwwww....Can we stop talking about this? You guys are creeping me out. Swollen people scare me. They remind me of drowning victims. :omy:

If my kid has access to french fries he won't eat anything else. We have to hide his fries from him until he eats his hamburger at McDonalds, and then he gets them as a prize.

you stash them away until you need a road trip toy, or a stocking stuffer, or a last-minute gift for a birthday party, depending on the toy, of course.

we're not allowed to go to mcdonald's, but if i could, i'd go buy all those strawberry shortcake figurines they have now. :(

My Mother in Law collected a bunch of the My Little Pony's for Haylee. I may have to go check out the Strawberry Shortcake ones and just buy the toys if they are cute.

My mom was a vegetarian when she got pregnant, then she started eating nothing but McDonalds hamburgers dipped in ice cream and creamed hearring. :barf:
