It was probably the obscene bulge in your pocket that tipped them off ... |
I was pickpocketed not molested. |

| regarding my eyes, do you think its because I had the LASIK surgery last summer that I have stopped being mistaken for a prostitute? Maybe it was the way my cornea was shaped that got the guys going...) |
Where did Yaramaz get the LASIK surgery done, and for what price?
In Montreal, now they do each eye for about $350 Canadian dollars (prices are getting cheaper) and most patients report good success with the procedure, but about 1% or less have problems, including problems with night vision and "glare and haloes" with some patients being unable to drive at night.....
Also, one has to remember that even with LASIK, most patients will need spectacles to read when they reach age 50 years or thereabouts. LASIK re-shapes the cornea, usually giving crisp vision to myopics, but sometimes oversurgery means that the patients who were initially very short sighted become long sighted, requiring spectacles for reading and close work.
LASIK is not completely risk free, but Yaramaz took the plunge and appears to have found success.....she should be commended for her courage for undergoing the procedure.....something many people have been too nervous to do.....

Haven't had any problems yet and I am a clueless newbie  One of my colleagues though seems to get robbed and mugged about every 2-3 months.
Never had to show some kind of ID either, thank God cause I don't carry any ID with me.
Never been mistaken as a "Natasha" but when I walk down Cumhurriyet Cad after dark I get mistaken for a transvestite and often cars slow down and the drivers wave at me to come/step in...something I find rather hilarious. |
