Lost the things some years back, apparently long enough back that I’m not allowed to use my old rx.

So, got a new rx, new exam, picked out new frames, should be here by Christmas.

    That’s always exciting. I’m due for a new pair. Bought one of those discount frames from online and never could adjust them comfortably so they slide down my nose all the time and are crooked as hell.

        … Do we have any preferred handkerchief brands?

        Fabrics?

        Prints?

        Or uh maybe, we have uh, a favorite level of sandpaper grit?

        Just, in general?

        … perhaps we could argue about duct tape brands?

          I prefer to start with a 200 grit then 400 and finish up with a 800 or even higher depending on the finish.

          I’ve never actually owned a handkerchief, but if I did it would be neutral grey. Probably cotton. No pattern, I’m not a gangbanger.

          Whew… That feels better. Thank you for being sensible and de-escalating this.

              By the way, duck brand duct tape is pretty good stuff. Much better than that off brand crap. I’ve also had good results with Ace hardware brand duct tapes, but honestly if the budget permits, gorilla glue brand all the way.

                … I now wholeheartedly agree.

                Yep, in that order, under those conditions, I actually have the exact same opinion(s).

                  Fantastic. What are your opinions on ac sir filter replacements?

                  Brands?

                  Rate of change?

                  I have a 4" filter for mine and it’s an awkward size so I usually have to order online but I have gotten by with a normal 1 inch thick combined with those cut your own green types.

                    Ahhahah!

                    Good sir, you appear have confused me with a homeowner, or perhaps HVAC technician.

                    Best I’ve managed is getting a HEPA filter of… I don’t remember the grade or dimensions…

                    … and duct taping it to a ‘mobile’ AC unit, so.as to attempt to avoid dying from the PNW Heatdome and also WildfireSmokeDome, from a few years back.

                    (We don’t usually have AC units in apartments around there… because… up untill literally that Heatdome… you didn’t really need them.)

                    … I do remember using Duck brand duct tape for this though.

                    I’m not currently dead, so, it probably wasn’t the worst choice, lol.

      I realized I had had the foresight (hyuck) to pick an insurance plan with significant vision coverage.

      And then I realized: Oh fuck, its almost the end of the year, those benefits don’t roll over, use em or lose em.

      So, less starbursting and better literal focus is my XMas gift to myself, I guess?
