Lady, I think yesterday was a low energy day for everybody...it is the change in weather it seems.....or all of the flu and colds going across the country.
The Grapes: My Father always used to take my brother and I to the store and he'd let each one of us pick out a HUGE bag of grapes....I mean more grapes than we knew we probably could stand...lol. I used to get sooooooooo full off of grapes. Many a time my belly stuck out from having eaten too many grapes...
But as I grew older, I knew when I'd reached my limit...and I still love grapes to this day!

Did you ever skate at the Sports Arena on Sundays? At Venice Beach on Satudays? And at the rink, do you know Nelson?![]()
quote:Originally posted by EbonyRose:
No, Nelson is Hispanic, from Guatemala actually ... wears a ponytail and I think he lives at every rink in the area! He's always skating.
I skated at the Sports Arena for years before I let them talk me into going into the rink. After that it was every Tuesday and Thursday until I moved away. And I still hit it up when I go back to visit. They don't even know what an adult night is here ... so, I usually get my roll on in the backyard while I'm cooking BBQ. A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do!
I never got into the Venice Beach scene ... I'd always end up playing in the water rather than skate. And I only went to the other rinks maybe once .. Rosecrans and Glendale.
You've made me homesick ... now I'm gonna have to plan a road trip to get my skate on properly!![]()

lol... So you are blind too huh?
Didn't everything feel too close or too far away at first compared to glasses?
Are you near sighted or far sighted?

Just curious, what prompted the switch to contacts?

Brotha HB,
I saw this before and laughed, because I remembered two things:
First: I remembered the first time I had put on glasses. My father had taken me to get the exam and get fitted for glasses....and when we finally picked up the glasses, the eye doctor put them on me and I looked all around saying, "I can see! I can see!"...Everything was so vivid and I don't think I will ever forget that; especially because my dad was laughing at my saying, "I can see....!" He said, "Those big ol' eyes and she couldn't see AnyThing!"
LOL...
The second thing: When I got my first pair of contacts, I was way too nervous because I couldn't stand the thought of putting anything "in my eyes"....I just knew that I would not like wearing contacts....and to be true, I hated wearing them until I got with an EXCELLENT eye doctor who was able to fit for my eyes. I will never forget the day that I put in the CIBA vision lenses...because they were the first contact lenses that I could wear that did not seem as if they were "sucking on my eyeball." In addition, I could wear them all day without any irritation!
I get fitted for my new ones next week...I've toyed with attempting to try different colors...LOL. They have some fun ones nowadays and I'd get a kick out of wearing different ones...

LOL@ "Fo shizzle my nizzle" in a Kresge post...
"Ignore" doesn't work for me, as I usually don't sign in until I post... But that's where our own internal "ignore" list has to be activated. At the point where people who live to get your goat have to outright lie in their attempts at doing so, they've automatically lost whatever argument they were trying to have, and so there's no reason to respond.

Day 3 with contacts:
I can now get them in and out in less than 10 minutes (for some reason my right eye goes a lot quicker than my left one - the right one can be done in seconds ... but I fumble around awhile with the left one).
thought of putting my finger in my eye is becoming less repellent. If for no other reason than it means that I will spend [b]far less time putting my finger in my eye if I just don't blink and get it over with.[/b]
I'm still not sure if I like it because I feel naked without my glasses.![]()
