Natter 75: More Than a Million Natters Served
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I've been putting off new glasses until after the move. My prescription is so out of date.
We're moved in!! We still have random crap over at the old house, but we sleep her tonight and it's where the coffee and the toothbrushes live. Guys, it's gonna be so cute when it's organized and decorated.
So tired though. And my shoulder is barking....I THINK I'LL GO TAKE THE FIRST SATISFYING BATH I'VE TAKEN IN 9 YEARS!!! IN MY DEEP TUB!!!
That's awesome, Strix! I had a very similar experience when I took a bath for the first time here last week (don't ask me why it took so long). It's not a great bathtub, but we have a tankless water heater, which means there's enough water to actually FILL THE TUB. The tub in our old house was deep and great...but the old water heater only filled it about three inches, so nsm good for bathing.
Once you start to get it set up, share pictures! I'd love to see your new digs.
Oh, there will be...pix. Heh.
One new neighbor has an old beagle and a younger beagle mix. Loxie is so excited! Our backyard is huge! I can't wait to have a housewarming shindig!
Yay Strix!
I'm too the point where I have a distance vision prescription, a second for computer and a third for reading.
I kind of hate my progressive lenses. I never really adjusted to them, and when I use the reading part of the lens, I still have to hold things at arm's length.
SO thankful that my vision is only messed up at a distance. Everything's still clear out to about 4 feet, which covers work, reading, drawing, and tooling around on the internet at home.
Yes please to pictures. Y'all's homes make me happy, expressions as they are of yourselves.
I had my eye exam...a year and a half ago, which was when the doc found the synechia. Treating that meant no new prescription at the time, and I've not been back. But it's getting pretty ridiculous how not-good my vision is. The PVDs are still present, giant floaty spidery veily things. The surgeon said scars from attempts to remove them were much more visible than the PVDs themselves. It might be worth it though, because at least the scars would be stationary and I could avoid them, unlike the giant space alien floaters, which while mostly transparent and sometimes entertaining, are always in motion.
Steph thanks for sharing that abkut you and Tim . It's nice to know I am not the only one.
Sorry your dad was being such a parent.
I need bifocals of some kind soon. I need prims to correct some kind of wonkiness with my vision and last time they told me I needed to wait until it was a bit worse before I got bifocals because of the prisms. A few months ago I started wearing my old glasses that have prescriptions that are really out of dye because I can see mid and close range better.
The monitors on the registers at work are really bad and it's hard to read tags. Our current registers are 35 years old, they run DOS. The monitors are black nd white, dim and have burned in images thst make it hard to read. We are finally getting the new ones on the 27th. Brand new monitors and tocuh screen. There is much rejoicing st work over this.
Also yay for new house Strix !
Oh, dear, Bev. That sounds difficult to deal with and what a choice for treatment! I wish you the best.
Incidentally, autocorrect wants to call you Nevada. It'll learn.
I like my progressives although I still have the habit of just taking off whatever glasses I am wearing and peering at things an inch or two from my nose which is not super effective. Also love my computer distance glasses.
