I’m obsessed with American bands... my absolute favorites are The Smiths, Suede, and Divine Comedy then New Order👍
Then there's The Verve, Muse, Blur, the Manic Street Preachers... man, I love them all. There are just so many... and I'm never going to stop listening.
Is the Mull Historical Society an American band??? They have a few good tracks.
Usually, they’d play them at the local diner on Sunday nights... but that was like, two years ago.😁
It’s happening to me again 😢 I was stuck without contacts or glasses for an entire week, but that was maybe three years ago, or even longer...
Now my prescription has gone up on both my glasses... and my contacts too. Without them, I can't see a thing. I have no idea how I'm going to manage this...
You can just pick up one of those little suction pumps at any drugstore that carries eye care supplies... what was it called... 😁 maybe something like ExxonMobil...
..once you create that vacuum and get it centered, it won't budge. You just press it against the lens and it snaps right back into place..
..or if it slides up, down, or sideways—which happens to me all the time 😁—that little pump is a lifesaver. I don't know the exact price, but I swear, whenever my lens acts up and I realize I forgot my pump, I lose my mind!!!!!!!! Then I’m just sitting there, stressed out and panicking at the same time, digging around in my eye like a total maniac...
..just the other day, a tiny speck got stuck in my eye while I was riding the subway.. I started crying. My tears were just streaming down 😁 I looked like my boyfriend had just dumped me... and nobody has any clue that my lens actually slid all the way into my tear duct 😁 I hate this!!
My biggest fear, seriously!!!!!!!!!!!! Even if I'm wearing soft contacts, I'm terrified of this... because if they were hard lenses, my halves would definitely get stuck in my eye. It's way better if it happens with a soft lens...
Oh man... what a nightmare... I actually fell asleep with my lenses in front of the TV today and woke up with one at the bottom of my eye and the other stuck way up high... but whatever, I have that suction tool..👍 everyone who wears soft contacts needs to grab one of those...
Hard and hybrid lenses are usually the way to go if your prescription is high enough..
..I ended up paying for some hybrid ones $267 ..just a pair..
..been wearing them for 6 years now..
..took about a week to get used to them, then things improved..but they still feel weird sometimes..and on days when they sting, I know it's time to get them professionally cleaned..it doesn't cost much..maybe $10
..eye drops help..I personally bought Bausch + Lomb contact lenses..they're fine if something gets in your eye..or if there's just a tiny bit of irritation, like if you're in a smoky room..
.I always bring my goggles to the beach. My prescription is -5.00 in both eyes. Towel colors don't mean anything to me because all the colors at the beach just blur together anyway..😁 ...with the goggles, everything is perfect!!!
Look, it doesn't matter because I genuinely love them... but honestly, whenever I hear about a concert like that, I start saving up way in advance. I tuck that money away so it doesn't get wasted on something else I might actually need later.😁 Like some skin cream... 😁
I've been drinking some aloe vera, I'll let you guys know how it goes 😁
Honestly, I'm kind of over it... like, totally. Every single time I drink it, I have to go plug my nose just to get it down. Mine tastes like cranberry 🙂
I’m hitting up this forum because I honestly have nobody else to ask... I should probably just start my own thread and write a few posts there, but I also had to turn in a ten-page seminar paper today...
...has anyone actually tried Refresh Contact drops??? I heard they were the gold standard, but I'm wondering about the price tag...
I wear soft contact lenses, so I definitely need some drops, but I've never used any before.
But it’s finally letting up... now it just itches in the corners of my eyes..and they're a little swollen..I inhaled some chamomile while breathing it in so everything flew straight up my nose and I couldn't stop sneezing 😁..going to bed now..hopefully it'll be better in the morning..:
..barely slept at all today..so I thought I'd try some chamomile compresses on my eyes because they felt weird..like they were super dry..
..but after those compresses, my eyes have gone absolutely haywire..everything is bright red..I can barely even open them..it feels like there are a hundred eyelashes stuck in each eye..it’s stinging like crazy inside and underneath, though nothing looks swollen yet..did I maybe have an allergic reaction to the chamomile??? I can't get to a doctor right now, so maybe it'll just pass..my eyes are just horribly dry..I can't even settle down because this stinging won't stop 😢
You never know what life's going to throw at you... if there was some medical issue I could solve just by drinking urine, I’d probably consider it. But thinking about it now? Not even in my wildest dreams. 🙂
..brushing your teeth with pee is definitely not necessary... plain old water works just fine. Gross. 😲
..I tried that Noni juice once... and honestly, Betty Rivera14 is right. ..for me, Aloe Vera juice is the real deal—my immune system bounces back so fast!!!!!! A few ladies on this forum recommended it to me. 🙂
So, I dealt with this hives situation over the summer, and honestly, I still have no clue what caused it. My doctor mentioned it might’ve been triggered by taking some Tylenol right before heading down to the beach. Apparently, you aren't supposed to go out into the sun after taking certain meds because of some chemical reaction or whatever. He also suggested I might be allergic to acetaminophen, which is weird because I've never had an issue with it before.
..if you took a pill, it's definitely possible that was the culprit, since a ton of them can trigger a rash...
If you’ve got a rash that looks like mosquito bites, it sounds like hives to me. I had them all over my body once, and at first, I didn't even go to the doctor because I just assumed mosquitoes were out for blood...
..but I don't get why it would be swollen then..go see a doctor if it doesn't clear up in a day or two..
..if your foot is swollen right by the ankle..where is that bone located?..it could be fluid buildup..that can be kidney issues..my mom deals with that..you know this is just me guessing, though..
Don't go using any fruit acid creams... they might just irritate you more.
"Before you even think about seeing a dermatologist, I’d suggest hitting up a pharmacy first. They might have a specific cream that handles this perfectly."
There are all sorts of risks nowadays... all that junk leads to nothing but trouble. You've got to watch what you eat too... you know how it is. Try not to stress out too much—that's basically impossible these days. Just stay active... my grandfather smoked his whole life, right up until the end, but he lived out in the country. ..start cutting back on the cigarettes... ..and most importantly, you need the willpower. Because if someone actually enjoys smoking and isn't thinking about the consequences, they just don't have the motivation. Usually, people only quit once health problems start hitting them. Don't let it get to that point.🙂 My old man caught tuberculosis... he was smoking two and a half packs a day; that was basically his breakfast.🙄 He collapsed out of nowhere. I haven't heard from him in a while, but he looks like a skeleton now.😁 He's constantly digging through the fridge.😁
I smoked for about two years, but I wasn't doing it constantly. Now, I haven't touched a cigarette in over six months—and I don't plan to go back. All those health risks, especially heart disease, really get to me. Every time I think about all that junk I was pumping into my body for no reason, I feel better about quitting.
..rustycanyon50.. so you didn't smoke?🙂 Two years is a long time.👍..I used to be just like that, thinking "just one more won't hurt" when I first started. You'd tell yourself "just one more" and suddenly an entire pack is gone.
..how could I have completely blanked on the lightning and thunder..😲 I seriously hate being stuck outside when the storms start rolling in..🙂 and out here on the coast, it’s basically constant..
..plus, getting in and out of the ocean.. I’m terrified of stepping on some jagged piece of debris.. honestly, I have a massive phobia of getting something stuck in my skin... I hate having to dig little bits out with tweezers.. one time, a huge piece of grit from a toilet seat actually got lodged in my butt while I was wearing a watch..😲 absolute nightmare...
