When she gives people the whole carton of orange juice, she's really hitting on them.

If you've ever gone camping and got up from sleeping in your tent in the middle of the night; or live in the country and get up and then go outside at 3 or 4 am before turning a light on in your house... you'd be quite surprised how bright out it seems (awesome star-seeing!).

I experience this a couple of times per week and although I haven't tried reading a book I would be surprised if it was not possible. I can easily see everything in my yard and can clearly read things on items near me (ie : 10 feet away, ashtray that I left outside with silkscreened writing, oil tank label, hot tub badge/model tag, etc)

If OP is extremely nearsighted like myself it may make it even easier; since he can get closer and focus on the text on the paper at a closer distance than people with 20/20 vision. (ie - I can focus very clearly on my finger about 1.5 inches from my eyeball and can see very fine details)

Ok, but if I didn't have a family I'd just drink myself to death if I had PTSD... so maybe there should also be some considerations for people with nothing in terms of family / only relatives they never talk to?

What is your opinion of newer vacuums compared to older vacuums in terms of build quality and longevity? I have a couple of older Sears Powermate vacs that are still in use weekly (or more) and I wish I could still get parts for them... speaking of which, when you fix vacuums that are 40+ years old, are you typically able to find modern replacements (generics) for some of the parts? (ie - the little spinning fan discs in the motor area, etc)

Thanks for the info. If you had to choose a new vac to buy these days, what would some of the companies be that you would deal with?
