YES Floaters but funnily enough I do NOT have any tonight !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT I would have been about 62 ish when I first had floaters. The they went away but lately I have them now and again !
That makes sense Darien .. age related changes and funnily enough I have been thinking my eye sight IS changing ... for the worst !!!! I bought some of those Clearwipes today from Chemist Warehouse and they do work OK BUT why should I have to keep clearing my lenses so often?

Most eye floaters are caused by age-related changes that occur as the jelly-like substance (vitreous) inside your eyes becomes more liquid. Microscopic fibers within the vitreous tend to clump and can cast tiny shadows on your retina. The shadows you see are called floaters.28 Aug 2020
Most certainly get it checked though (((((Moira)))))
How old were you Linda, when you first started to wear contact lenses?
Post by: Linda on April 02, 2022, 09:10:22 am
I can put my contacts in and out anywhere, I don't need a mirror or anything. I keep little vials of saline in my purse so I can take out a contact, put a few drops of saline on it and put it back in my eye. I started doing that years ago when Emma was in gymnastics and my eyes would get cloudy when I was at the meets, so I'd take my contacts out and put them back and then could see better. I didn't want to climb down out of the bleachers and go to the restroom so I'd do it right there in my seat. It's crazy what you can do if you need to.

I was thinking last night how I once went to the specialist Lyons Eye Hospital in Perth because I was seeing black spots floating around .... now and again .. They did eventually go away ... cannot remember why or what happened !!!!!!!!!!! I think I has some specialist treatment !!!!!!!!!!!! Insurance Paid !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today I find I am seeing the odd flying black spot again every now and again !!

You have always said your contacts were not comfy Linda I remember and Bonnie says the same from time to time. But she can wear glasses at the end of the day for relief. ((((((((((Linda))))))))))))))) It must be awful not to be able to see comfortably or easily. Ange never did get on with contacts. Lots of people cannot cope with them and I dare say they would annoy me IF I had to use them !!!!

Are your lenses always uncomfortable Linda, or is it just these ones for some reason?
Post by: Linda on March 31, 2022, 05:43:49 am
I don't see Emma very much but I will Saturday so I'll get some Justin information.
Post by: Moira on March 30, 2022, 09:42:07 pm
Do ask Emma about the Justin thing :) Grandma to Grandchild :)
Post by: Linda on March 30, 2022, 09:58:45 am
My contacts are quite uncomfortable, that's the bad part and they are really bugging me today and I don't know why. At least I can see, but it's sure nice when I take them out before I go to bed.
I need to find out more about the "Justin thing", I'll keep you updated if there is any news.
Post by: DarienJ on March 30, 2022, 07:56:32 am
I am relieved you can see to write to us, but I too wish you could wear glasses (((((Linda)))))
Post by: Moira on March 29, 2022, 08:48:14 pm
Methinks maybe your Emma, Linda has met more people while being at Wartburg... and has a broader outlook than poor Justin but I say that it had to happen sooner or later !!!!! Emma has more going for her in her life than poor Justin.
Luckily Bonnie can use her specs when she has any problems with her contacts so her problem is not as bad as yours ((((((((((((((((((Linda)))))))))))))))))))))
Post by: Linda on March 29, 2022, 10:00:31 am
I don't know what's going on with Emma and Justin, I didn't see Pam or Emma this weekend so I didn't have a chance to ask any questions. I'm sure Emma doesn't want to hurt Justin, he's a nice boy though not the most ambitious person for sure.
I'm glad to have two eyes again. I wish I could wear glasses and not have to mess with contacts but I can't so I'll just keep on with the contacts. They aren't very comfortable but I can see.
Post by: DarienJ on March 29, 2022, 09:15:25 am
My Emma will settle down eventually, she is young and the young learn by themselves what they can and can't do.
I am relieved you have your new lenses and that your eyes are more comfortable now, Linda.
Post by: Moira on March 28, 2022, 09:18:28 pm
I suppose Darien's Emma will learn as she gets older if she keeps on skulling alcohol !!!!! (((((((((((Emma))))))))))))))
Good that you can see properly now Linda and here I am moaning about how I have to keep cleaning my new specs. I do take them on and off BUT I don't know how they get so smeared and mucky so fast ! They are driving me nuts !
Post by: Linda on March 28, 2022, 11:19:52 am
It takes a long time to get my contacts because mine are different from most people's. Pam and Emma can go into their eye place and get a new contact on the spot and mine have to be ordered and made especially for my situation. It's been on order and it came now so I have two eyes again, such a relief!
Post by: DarienJ on March 28, 2022, 08:39:42 am
I am sure your Emma will just have a small flutter at the Casino and that will be the end of it. I actually hope she loses as that will encourage her not to do so again
Are you able to quickly replace your contact lens (((((Linda)))))?
Post by: Moira on March 25, 2022, 09:14:40 pm
Why do Australians say skull?
The use of scull is explained by reference to student drinking rituals that challenge participants to down a bottle or can of beer in one draught, like the long stroke used in sculling a boat. !!!
Of course SCOFFED is English !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry to hear your left contact is torn... I know nothing about contacts really so I hope it is fixed fast so you can see more clearly. ((((((((((((Linda))))))))))))) All we need now is Darien to have a problem with her glasses and we have all been in the same boat recently !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: Linda on March 25, 2022, 04:31:46 am
I've been getting by for the last few days with only ONE EYE. My left contact has a small tear in it and it hurts to wear it and I shouldn't anyway so I missed SKULLED and thought it was SKUFFED. I know Emma drank a lot but what skulled actually means, Darien will have to tell me. My new contact is on order but not here yet.
Post by: Moira on March 24, 2022, 08:48:09 pm
Scrape or brush the surface of (a shoe or other object) against something.
"I accidentally scuffed the toe of one shoe on a paving stone"
Nothing wrong with visiting a Casino to see how it works, been there and done that in Monte Carlo Casino in Monaco...also the casino in Dunedin and Perth ONCE ! An Interesting experience :) Lost money !

Trust me Emma consumed a lot of alcohol and skulled quite a few while I was there too!!!
Your Emma might have beginners luck next year then and win lots of money
Post by: Moira on March 22, 2022, 10:03:58 pm
True they do not make BIG diamonds (((((((((((Darien))))))))))))))) I am not a pizza fan myself !
As for your Emma Linda, it might be a good idea to go to the Casino for her 21st .. she may be lucky :)
The age for legal gambling here seems to be 20 years I looked it up so I am not sure it is right !!!!!!! But you can do Lotto or bet on a horse if you are 18 BUT IF you go into a brick building to gamble ...... YOU have to be 20 ! Pass !
Post by: Linda on March 22, 2022, 12:00:31 pm
I was thinking about Emma and her party today. We drove to Iowa City and back for Larry's chemo treatment so I had lots of time to THINK. What I thought about was the fact that here you have to be 21 to drink and my Emma will be 21 next January and she's not excited to DRINK, she wants to go to the casino on her birthday.
I should say here that in Iowa you have to be 21 to be able to gamble. Can you gamble at 18 in Australia or New Zealand?
Post by: DarienJ on March 22, 2022, 09:23:47 am
Everyone certainly was drinking and their were a lot of bodies that stayed overnight too, which is much better than driving home. I am sure they all had a great time, but we left after the cake was cut. Kylie had ordered a whole lot of Pizzas for everyone to eat, I actually didn't eat anything as the base gives me terrible indigestion. I wasn't hungry anyway. Apparently Emma didn't have a hangover the next day, she seems to be one of those people who don't get them!!!!

I so much enjoyed all of this. What all did they serve for food, I don't think I saw a cake but I'm sure there was one.
Emma is SO PRETTY and what a perfect little figure she has. Was one of the boys her boyfriend? I wondered who everyone was, at least I knew your family and even Liam's girlfriend. Kylie has a beautiful and BIG HOUSE, so nice for entertaining.
