Pink Eye and Picture Taking

by Sandra Williams

Eyes: Ne¾a ÈerinUgh. I was already behind on laundry and now pink eye is spreading through our home.

Everything could use a once over anyway I suppose. Disinfecting doorknobs, laundry and doling out eye drops will keep me busy today.

About Pink Eye

What’s the difference between pink eye and a “cold in your eye”? My dad used to call it that but wondered it if it’s the same darned thing. Inquiring minds want to know.

At MedicineNet.com I found out there’s viral pink eye and bacterial pink eye. Cold symptoms often accompany viral pink eye so dad was right. Both are contagious so either way the children have to stay home today. Antibiotic drops usually are not required with the viral type but prescriptions are often given out anyway because they look similar.

I’m glad this happened before their birthday party because I just booked the bowling alley and they’re looking forward to it. No matter how many children I allow them to invite, it’s never enough.

Beginning Photography

I did receive my new camera for my birthday but I’m still figuring it out. I took a couple pictures for my candle blog and cut off my husband’s head so still need practice. The software wouldn’t install on my computer but it didn’t look that useful and I can operate it without it anyway.

Have a budding photographer in the house? Most kids love taking pictures. At BetterPhoto.come, Beginning Photography Tips:Top 10 Techniques for Better Pictures will give you a good start.
