In real life I don’t like asking for recommendations here because I feel like I’d get overwhelmed with all the spectrum of responses. And I’d eventually pick the first thing my gut was leading me to purchase to begin with. Like I was going to ask for clutch recommendations. I needed one for tne wedding I went to. I knew I was going to get that random $200 one. Lol. So I asked my sister and she told me to go to this one fashion place. It was $4. that is why I usually find what I am looking at and then post a is this cute post in the randoms

The awake thing is what is stopping me from doing lasik surgery I found it absolutely fucking terrifying, but I'm so glad I did it. I have a DVD if my procedure but I haven’t ever been able to watch it. I didn’t have a huge problem with it at the time but I think the Valium they gave me helped😉 I don’t know how to spoiler so fair warning for those of you that a squeamish about eyeball stuff... I could see smoke, or whatever the hell it was from the laser, coming up from my eye while it was being held open.

I’ve needed glasses almost as long as I’ve had my period. Fuck my eyes and uterus. I've worn glasses longer than I've had my period. I'm cautiously looking into LASIK now, but I'm not sure I'd be a candidate or brave enough to do it. I'm nervous to mess with my vision and potentially make it even worse than it already is.

From what I’ve heard it depends more on whether your vision had stabilized. They wanted me to be over 21 and my prescription to have not changed in at least two years. Neither applied to me so I really have nobody to blame but myself. Oh yes, this is really important. Mine had been the same since like 16-17. Damn, mine gets worse every year I get my eyes checked.

It’s also annoying AF when someone states their budget and people come in just to “I would never ...” their price range. I kinda did this to you in the fall thread. It wasn’t how I intended it though. I saw sale and reasonable prices and when I looked I was more laughing at myself because it was still so far out of my budget. But as I said then. I’m working with a pretty slim budget.

My kids use native as summer slip on shoes. They are fine to walk through water and puddles and lakes and whatever other shit they walk through. And then I throw them in the dishwasher. They are essentially indestructible. ive never heard of natives before today. This seems like good shoe engineering. I like the idea of indestructible kid shoes.

Well otherwise we would never talk to you. Not true. I also get @ when someone brings up hitler. Like 99% of my tags are related to Gluten or Hitler. Maybe Hitler was allergic to gluten and that’s why he was such an insufferable ass. Full circle.

Girl. Love your eyes. My cousin almost lost her vision doing this because the contact fused to her cornea. I like you too much not to give you a hard time. I agree with you. I have these talks with myself too, and I appreciate the kick in the ass. Like, I know I’ll take them out tonight now but I’m so bad at being consistent. There's a kind you can legit leave in for weeks. I loved them - I think there called Acuvue Day & Nights?

Target has a shoe like Natives, Surprize land & water shoes. DS's feet were too thick and Natives dug into his ankles, and those Target ones worked out great.

This was my first summer experiencing Natives and they are like the holy grail of summer kids shoes. I love them and will never buy anything else

Yes it goes in with the rest of the bedding weekly. It really only takes s couple minutes to put it back on the duvet I always feel like I'm going into some type of wrestling match. Someone invented something to make this easier. It was on “How I built this” with guy roz. Will find. Hang on.

I can concentrate on it better An actually kindle is worlds apart from the kindle app. It’s a totally different experience Agreed. The Kindle Paperwhite is just like reading a physical book IMO. Although I will never get used to the location thing. I want to know the page#! Half of the books I get, page numbers are not an option. I do read on the app a lot though on my phone. The current book I'm reading has almost entirely been read on my phone. I don't bring my Kindle out of the house.

you have no idea. She was in so much pain and they do it while you’re awake. She wore sunglasses indoors for over a week. The awake thing is what is stopping me from doing lasik surgery You usually get a Valium in pre-op and it helps immensely.

Oh interesting! There is also the burrito method but I think it does take some time to get good/quick at it.

I was awake for my cataract surgery last year (#old) but they gave me a shot of midazolam before so I was fairly chill about the giant needle sucking things out of my eyeball. Good times.

I also need toric contacts and those things aren’t cheap. Even at Costco. So whenever I run out, I beg and plea for a free sample while next paycheck gets here and I can buy 6 month supply. I will admit I wear 1 month contacts for like 2 months or until they rip. I’m not contact rich. dailys my ass. You might as well just flush the money right down the toilet. I use dailies on the rare occasion that I wear contacts but my husband brings home samples for me from work. They are definitely $$$ if you are wearing contacts regularly.

I want lasik for the convenience because I hate not being able to see. But my UO is that I think my face looks better with glasses (or maybe I'm more used to it?).
I got contacts 2 years ago for the first time and I have only used like 15-20 pairs of dailies in 2 years because I feel like I look weird. It is better for the beach and sunglasses though.

I have dd's old one now since she got the iPad so I guess i should get it out and try it. In my head I think well if I am putting the Kindle in my purse might as well put the book in.

Opening the dishwasher means I’m going to be completely blind for at least 30 seconds though.
