Google "dream lenses"
There are actually several threads (maybe even more!) discussing those specific lenses
Just a heads-up though: they don't actually change your prescription. You just wear them overnight so you can see clearly during the day without any help
Once you stop using them, everything goes right back to how it was before
Also, this doesn't really apply if your prescription is higher than -4.00, and honestly, they're pretty pricey!

Where can I find some of that?
Lately, I've just been feeling so down, under the weather, and totally wiped out... just one thing after another!
Honestly, something like that sounds exactly like what I need right now—I'm practically begging for some extra attention and love!

Adam White15 said:Herbalife has truly helped me find my spark again, boosting my mental wellness and helping me feel more confident in my own skin! It’s honestly been such a wonderful addition to my life, and I feel so incredibly blessed that I started using it.🙂

I really, truly hope this is all just a case of some bad advertising and not actually how you're feeling deep down!
I mean, if that's really how you're looking at things at just 24 years old! 🙄

Adam White15 said:If anyone tries to follow in my footsteps, I’ll be sure to give them all the inside scoop on Herbalife!🙂

For goodness sake, is this 😬 just out of
sheer kindness
and the beauty
that's finally blooming in my body?

Wasn't she smiling at you with her eyes?
I mean, seriously, if you bring your ID and medical history next time, maybe she'll brew you a coffee, give you a shoulder massage, and... smile with her eyes too! 😬

brightridge59 said:No, I really don't think I'm overreacting!

They really shouldn't have let you in!
They really should have told you to wait until you had all your paperwork in hand before heading over! I learned that the hard way when I was dealing with the DMV last summer—total headache. 🙂

I honestly don't think the doctor should have called you irresponsible, even if that comment was pretty much spot on!
On the flip side, she actually took you in even though she really didn't have to!
She did you a huge favor, so don't be so salty in your response!

brightridge59 said:What's on your mind?
Is humor not allowed on this subforum? I was just sharing a quick joke about my morning coffee mishap, but maybe I misread the room! 😕

That’s just not funny!

You're exaggerating a bit here!

although

brightridge59 said:"I feel like you guys are being pretty irresponsible"

This just isn't right, seriously.

First, you’ll want to track down a new doctor and see if they're actually taking on new patients. Honestly, some of them are so backed up they won't even look at you,
so it's worth a few calls first! Once you find someone, you just have to let your current doctor know you're moving on so they can hand over your medical records and the official discharge forms.
After that, you take everything to the new clinic. Once they sign off, they'll handle the paperwork with Medicare.
In my experience, some doctors will even take care of the whole Medicare update process for you themselves!

The boss's wife is at it again 😉
😬A few whispered conversations can really stir up a storm

At the end of the day, he isn't exactly the only GP in town
She should just look for a decent doctor and move her practice elsewhere

That’s pretty much what I was thinking—honestly? Everyone at City Hall knows exactly what's going on. They even confirmed in an official letter that they approved the assignment because the preschool's account was frozen.

And get this—that preschool doesn't even have a building permit, if you want to get technical. Yeah, City Hall actually confirmed that to me.

The whole city is basically helping the preschool dodge the IRS through this assignment trick.

It’s just total anarchy here, really. You could write a whole exposé in the New York Times about it and nobody would even blink.

They’re going to screw over everyone waiting in line for their payouts
they're screwing the daycare staff because their payroll taxes, Social Security, and healthcare contributions won't be properly covered
they're screwing the government because it won't see any revenue from those funds
and they're screwing all of us, the everyday taxpayers, because we'll end up footing the bill

In short, it's just gross.

1) It’s likely my preschool-son would just cover the specific bills his preschool-father took out in his name
if he transfers the funds directly to his preschool-father's account, holy cow 😬
that’s exactly why they’re jumping through all these hoops
2) In the city, you really ought to raise some red flags about why someone would suddenly start paying total liabilities into a preschool-son's account
If the preschool-son himself pays them—assuming his preschool-father opened the account for him—the IRS isn't going to be too happy. Tax agents hate feeling like they're being played for fools, and that’s pretty clearly what's happening here
While it's true that this kind of setup is technically prohibited, there aren't any rules stating you have to provide certain BON indicators in these scenarios
It's definitely a bit of a gray area
But once the city is officially notified that the preschool-father's accounts are frozen, they can't just play dumb
At the end of the day, the responsibility lies with the preschool-father
3) There's no need to send the city an invoice for the preschool-son; we're strictly talking about making payments on behalf of someone else
The best move is to put a formal agreement in place between the city, the preschool-son, and the preschool-father

Man, it's heavy thinking about this stuff...

I don't think you quite caught my drift 😬
Let's break this down a bit more clearly
If you're saying you're against organ donation unless it's for family, then you should be just as firm about only accepting an organ if it comes from your own kin
Basically, stating that you would never, under any circumstances, agree to receive a donation from a stranger

Does that make sense?

Roger Martinez8 said:Can my primary care doctor—the one holding my medical records—actually note down a refusal to donate organs to anyone except specific people I designate? Or does that only work if I list my next of kin?

Look, I'm not saying I'm flat-out against it,

but I’d only ever consider it for the people I actually love—people who mean something to me. As for that mystical, "love thy neighbor" type of altruism? No chance. I'm just not that saintly.

Besides, I'm not about to let some random stranger decide what happens to my body after I'm gone.

What I'm really wondering is: can a doctor actually write that "but" into my file? Specifically, that I opt out for everyone *except* certain individuals? It's a bit heavy to sit there and try to list exactly who those people are, if I'm being honest.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for it—but selectively. Period. Honestly, listening to those "holier-than-thou" types judge me just makes my blood boil!

If we're going to start talking about "selective" giving, let's be honest and talk about "selective" taking too! 😬

I really need to keep up with my exercises, exercise more

frozenhawk11 said:It’s a legitimate health issue that people often overlook just because they don't know any better. They'd much rather chat about what someone's wearing today! Honestly, I totally get why they do it.

But really, how can anyone offer advice or support if they haven't walked in those shoes themselves? 😕
There's no need to let it get to you or feel hurt by their lack of understanding.

When you say he gave up sports because of his self-esteem, what do you mean exactly? Was he feeling too big or too small?

Post this over in the "Parents & Kids" subforum instead.
I really think you'll get more helpful advice and better quality responses there!

Robin Hall4 said:Honestly, if she ever had to deal with twelve bathroom trips in a single day, she’d drop twenty pounds in no time!

My dad has been dealing with colitis for 25 years now, so he definitely keeps his weight in check thanks to that, 🤷

but about seeing a neurologist? Especially since you're having vision issues...
there's this wonderful private ophthalmologist in Chicago who specializes in working with neurological patients.
Plus, you have plenty of great neurologists to choose from out there!

Robin Hall4 said:autoimmune disorder

Which one specifically?
What kind of diagnoses are we talking about?
And where have you been seeking treatment? Any specific hospitals or departments?

Alexander Palmer9 said:Alright, let's get real here... where are you guys actually buying clothes?
I’m usually busy grinding as a regular Maxy Poker subscriber, but I spent last night scrolling through some shops and honestly, the prices nearly gave me a heart attack. Since spring, everything has gone through the roof—just basic, everyday stuff. 😲😁

So, where can I find an actual decent piece of clothing that isn't just black, gray, dark brown, or navy blue?
Or one of those unavoidable vertical stripes.😱
Or a cut designed specifically for women over 60...

Hey! If you're heading toward Maximilian Park, there’s this little shop and tailor right on Maximilians Avenue—just to the left of the path. It's tucked away just past that Jordan's place!
About a month ago, they had some really great finds at super reasonable prices! I actually picked up a little something for myself that was such a steal.
I think there was something similar happening over in Petrinja too, though unfortunately, I can't quite remember which part of town it was!

Honestly, I have no idea how many times I’ve repeated myself already—my bad! 😂 👍
I’m definitely not an expert—not a pro or anything—but whenever my colleague finds these amazing deals at reasonable prices, I’m all in! For instance, finding a great shirt for like $15 feels like a total steal to me. Such a win! 😍

velvetrider16 said:I don't touch medication. Not even antibiotics in the last six months. My one exception? Sinus headaches. They are absolutely brutal because I had sinus surgery, and the pain is just unbearable now—honestly, at one point they were even checking me for MS because of how intense those pains felt 🙄
Usually, I try to dodge pills by reacting immediately with drops or ointments, but occasionally I just take the path of least resistance. That happens maybe once every six months... I actually took a pill this past weekend because I was traveling and didn't feel like suffering through it for two hours.

I don't take anything else. Even dental work? I go through it all without anesthesia, except for extractions—and I only had to use it once for that. Everything else is raw. I even had my damn sinuses operated on while fully awake, though that wasn't exactly my choice 🙂

Which specific sprays or ointments are you using to help manage that?
