Not in the market for new eye wear. I like glasses! I just lose a separate set of sunglasses. Which transitions solve.

I recently bought glasses for the first time in 25 years. When I was wearing contacts every day, I didn’t even own a pair of prescription glasses.

Then my gf told me on a whim that America’s Best had a deal for 2 pairs of prescription glasses and an eye exam for $59.

I was looking for glasses to take backpacking, cause contact issues in the backcountry seem like a pain in the ass.

When I realized how my glasses framed my face, I kicked myself for not wearing them sooner. I think I look better in glasses, and haven’t worn contacts in a couple months now. :cool:

But I just have a prescription pair of sunglasses. I’m too cheap for transitions, and they’re not dark enough for my blue eyes

I'm kinda surprised how many of you wear glasses.

Blind as a bat, and usually peering through a cloud of smoke to boot. o_O

Glasses do make some faces look real nice, it's true!
I have heard that they don't get dark enough for people. I think if I went on a serious hiking trip I would have to get something darker than what I have.

Yeah, I spend a lot of time outside. I live in a place where hiking is pretty big. This is the view from my livingroom.

They get darker as they age; I've used transitions for 30 yrs. Recently needed a RX after 15 yrs and didn't get them cause they go seriously dark, slow to fade and as soon as I'm out of the sun I can't see for 10 min til they lighten up

OK everybody sit down you ain’t gonna believe this.

Got a call from pharmacy approving my Otezla. Zero co-pay.

Same call discussing my Enbrel. For some reason now instead of zero co-pay it’s $12,000 a month. That’s right $12,000 a month for 4 Mini injectors.

Made several other calls. Being on disability, I make too much money.

I swear to God somebody better come get me.

That sounds like that Pharma boy from a few years ago who bought out a drug company and immediately huge jacked the price up of an old drug

Oh wow! You ever use it for wood projects? Off and on I've been trying to get a patch going for 35 yrs of timber bamboo. Had a good one down in my seasonal creek and then massive storms and flooding washed it away in '88/89. Started over and they flowered and died. But not just mine, bamboo is largely propogated by cloning and they will all flower at same time regardless of age (within the same lineage). It took around 6-7 yrs before nurseries had stock available again

We have some curing for projects now, but I don’t take care of it as much as I should and I lose half or more to cracking while drying it.

I may try to harvest something this winter when the humidity is more conducive to a prolonged drying process.

It just took off in that spot, I regularly have to trim the shoots it throws 20-40’ from the edge of the patch.

it’s getting a little lanky on top, maybe time for a haircut.

I always wanted to make a bamboo bong, it always cracked on me when drying though. There is a patch of the big stuff the next road over. I wouldn't plant it here unless it was contained somehow, very invasive.
