I can't even apply eyeliner without flinching -- can you imagine me in surgery? :D Although I can put in contacts. Not easily,but I can. My opthalmologist cousin had Lasik and she still wears reading glasses. Do you need those? My eyes are really bad, but not as bad as Priscilla/Capt Noonie's. I still need to find my prescription to compare.

Ha! Bring it! My prescription laughs in your prescription's face!

Magnus 12-10-2015 12:49 PM
Last time I had glasses, I think my site was -5.0/-5.5.

I don't need reading glasses YET but as I get older, I will need them. But that comes with age so you can't really do anything about it. My doc said I probably won't need them any time SOON but we'll see.

It literally took 5 min. Just don't watch any videos before you decide to get it. I think that's the only reason I freaked out a bit. LOL

I wear frameless glasses and the light glare is extra annoying.
Yes, right!!?? LOVE that little table of course :D!

Do you remember the Friends' episode where Monica needed to get her eyes examined, but couldn't deal? Is that your eye twin :p?

Yesss, that is totally me! It was Rachel, but Monica was with her:

Every time I have an exam, I tell the doctor that I cannot do the glaucoma puff-of-air-in-the-eye test. We try and try. After numerous attempts with me jumping across the room, they give up or they fib and say they got it. :p

That is too funny!! I do okay with the puff of air thingy, the machine that gets me is the one you focus on the picture and you have to click when you "see" a dot flash, omg I am too OCD for that, like a Yorkie chasing a laser, it's frustrating! I ALWAYS have to re-do it...I just started wearing glasses/contacts 2 years ago, after having great vision all my life, I hit my 40's and stuff starts falling apart :( I have a love/hate relationship with my contacts, I wear them daily but late afternoon they start making me crazy! When I take them off its like coming out of an ill fitting bra :D I swear I can hear the hallelujah chorus start playing ;)

capt_noonie 12-14-2015 08:23 PM
You know whenever I have an eye exam and do the clicky flash dot test, they've always told me to click if I even THINK I see something. Funny thing is, I always have had floaters, so when I do that test I always think it's my eyes and not the test.

And speaking of TV shows about eye stuff, does anyone remember the Family Guy episode when Stewie talks about the floaty things? How you always try to look at them but they float away just as you do. It annoyed the hell out of me when I was a kid. I didn't know what they were. I thought something was actually in my eye.

Magnus 12-15-2015 08:14 AM
Be free of your glasses and contacts!!!!!!! Get lasik~~~~~ :D I wore glasses since I was.. 8-9? Oh the freedom......

One sweet day, when I work the courage up and when the eye doctor gets a straight jacket :D...Honest to God I don't think I could lay there...I am a wuss, lol! :p

MauiGirl 12-18-2015 09:14 PM
I got Lasik 15 years ago, and it was life changing. Such freedom after wearing glasses and contacts since 4th grade, and a -5 prescription. Being able to see at a distance was so liberating, and I don't mind wearing reading glasses (minimal prescription, the drug store kind).

MauiGirl 12-18-2015 09:18 PM
Hey everybody, my kitchen that I expected to have done my October is almost done. It is amazing, the teak cabinets are so beautiful even though I have not picked out drawer pulls yet, the appliances are incredible, and the granite which 80% went in today is beautiful.

I still have lots of my dishes and cookware stored in boxes in my living room, but so close to being finished, and have been able to use the kitchen as is for a while.

Oh, and the relationship with my awesome contractor...... couldn't be better. So happy :) Now we are upgrading my patio and pool deck, so more fun ahead. Life is good.

capt_noonie 12-19-2015 12:29 AM
Can't wait to see the pics!

Oh wow, how FUN to have a brand new kitchen in time for Xmas!! Come on now, BRING on the pics, my friend!! Can't wait over here! And when is the wedding :D?

Maximo 12-19-2015 04:20 PM
Sandy, I am very happy to hear the great news! Looking forward to photos of your completed kitchen . . . and to the wedding announcement. LOL Just teasing. I am glad you are enjoying so much happiness with someone special.

MauiGirl 12-19-2015 08:03 PM
Thank you all for cheering me on. Having a great guy by my side through the whole process has been wonderful. I could not have done it without him.

Wedding, huh???? Silly girls. We are having way too much fun in honeymoon stage to do that.

:) Oh Sandy - so, so happy to read of your wonderful times. I truly am - you soooo deserve it :)

Great big British hugs from 'us over here' :) xxx

MauiGirl 12-20-2015 10:14 PM
Thank you Sally for sharing in my joy. I am truly blessed, and so grateful for all the good things that have come my way. This has been a wonderful year, and I am excited to see what 2016 brings too.

Sally, I am so sorry about the loss of your father. Big hugs to you and your family.

In case anyone is just DYING to clean their own grouts instead of hiring someone to do the grunt work, the best combo seems to be:

Hydrogen peroxide + baking soda, leave for 30 min before scrubbing. Saw a comparison between different (non toxic) combos and this seemed to work best.

I get to have ALL that fun this weekend... oh the joy...... (any feeling my sarcasm?....) LOL

capt_noonie 03-24-2016 10:30 PM
Please don't tell me you have white grout. LOL. Our old house had white tiles in the kitchen, tiny 4x4 tiles and white grout. OMG I hated that kitchen. Loved the layout but the white tiles and white grout omg.

Thankfully this house we don't have little tiles. And our showers are solid surface so only the corners and edges are hard to get. The walls are all easy.

Thank you for this suggestion. Last week was very stressful (read anxiety caused major cleaning spree to keep from murdering someone). So I cleaned the kitchen tiles. We have tan grout but certain areas seem to look darker than the rest due to being high traffic areas eg. By the sink and dishwasher.

The H2O2 and baking soda really worked well with little scrubbing. I sprinkled/brushed the baking soda into the grout limes then had the H2O2 in a spray bottle and sprayed the grout lines. Waited then scrubbed with a small brush. Thanks for the great tip.

Sounds like you had just as much fun as I did! I used a drill and homemade attachment to do the scrubbing. Here's the before/after pictures.

Forgot to add this for the brush... I used this drill/brush to clean the bathroom tiles as well.

Mom wanted the plants off the floor and she couldn't find anything she liked. So I made this from extra materials we had at work. Took a while but I think it came out pretty nicely. :D
