PLEASE, PLEASE help granny today.  as most of you researchers may
know, granny has no time, no money, and enough work to keep all 500 of
youse guys busy.  she also knows the value of your time which is a
whole lot more than the measly $5.12 she usually bids.

her assignment this weekend is to find out all she can about
"retrobulbar hemorrhages," but granny would rather go to Oktoberfest
and drink beer and eat bratwurst without this task hangin' on her
headbone.

so, can we PLEASE compromise?  just bring me *links* 

-- DO NOT SUMMARIZE -- 

granny can do that.

as you SKIM the material, could you look for articles that might
address the following:

definition of RBH for a layperson
frequency of occurrence during cataract surgery
as RBH pertains to hypertensive change in the eye
description of cataract surgery

granny will be ever so grateful and reward accordingly should her
dinghy ever come in. THANK YOU SO MUCH and granny will promise to
hoist one in your behalf.  won't you PLEASE help granny get outta the house
this weekend?

{swoon} my hero! {heroine?}  granny doesn't need to check your
linkage, darlin'.  you helped her so eloquently with her Sister Mary
Joseph nodule and she was so glad she found *you* on duty and willin'
to do a pity answer.  lordy, granny sure ain't above grovelin' when
she needs something.  thanks *SO* much for pre-searching this one for
me.  she can now go to Oktoberfest with a semi-clear head.  I must
confess, granny tends to keel over after one beer so she hopes she
remembers hoistin' one on your behalf.  much obliged and if granny
*had* a payroll, she'd want *you* on it ... permanently.

grannylickit to you, too!

Hi Granny!

I swear, the way you put your questions and ratings are worth the
price of admission alone! :-) :-)

You have a great time this weekend - make mine an ale. 

Happy to help anytime, anyway I can. 

websearcher-ga

P.S. Hero ;-)

oh, yeah, granny's a pip all right but she's also a megabyte shy of a
short stack and two refills behind on her Thorazine script.

she will definitely have a good time this weekend.  she's heard
there's actually something called {gasp!} fresh air out there. 
a'course she has to be careful on the ale front so she doesn't repeat
The Great Drinking Accident of 1875.

granny keeps waiting for a kajillionaire in his white Charger to ram
through the front door of her apt. and take her away from all this
'work' stuff.  he'd need an updated tetanus, a'course.  granny's not a
big 'cleaner.'  she has her hands full with too many other 'projects.'

remember, a granny question should be a respite, not a resbite, for
you researchers.  you're *always* in good hands with her.  well, I'd
better get off before I'm arrested for impersonating an Allstate
agent.

cheers, webhero, and say hello to my other two heros webadept and
webadelweiss!

Hi Granny Bing!

How was Oktoberfest?? Did you keep out of trouble?

oh, dear boy, how lovely of you to ask.  yes, granny indeed had a
swell time away from her post.  alas, no bratwurst in any of the
tents.  instead, she had Beef Wellington on a stick and a charming
dark beer, the name of which she didn't catch over the oompa-loompa
music.  however, the best part of granny's little jaunt was her psycho
traveling companion.  for their next outing, they hope to recreate the
"Burning Man" ceremony.  standby with bail money.

granny did not dance.

thanks for helping on the above granny chore and remember, Otis loves
you!
