New to contacts, much harder than thought.
Comments (35)UPDATE: Went to practice session #3 at the eye doctor and was able to get contacts in and out of both eyes. The left eye was harder. The way I got them in was to NOT look in a mirror, pull down just the lower lid, and stare straight ahead. Another optician joined in to help. She saw my nails which were as short as they can be. She said I need to pull the contact down with the pad of my middle finger and then try to pinch the contact off my lower lid. They were out of the lenses with my prescription so they sent me home with just practice lenses until a trial set come in. I need to practice everyday putting the contacts in and out. I am so relieved to have gotten this far! I'm actually glad to just have the practice lenses for a while. I forgot to ask about the mono or multifocal. Thank you all for the help. I did make a word document with all the advice. I may need to refer to it sometimes if I run into trouble. edited to add: I ask about those plunger things to put in contacts. Those are only for hard contacts which I will not be getting. This post was edited by debrak2008 on Tue, Jun 10, 14 at 7:20...See MoreChoosing a washer is harder than choosing a new car!
Comments (12)Constanceann; Sorry to hear that you are having a problem picking out your new washer. I would like to say this to you though; Many of the post that you read out on the net that are reporting problems, Alot of them are user error. I'm not saying that all are and that there are not problems with machines, however, most people will only speak/post about problems and people who don't have problems rarely say/post anything. An example of this is on the sears website. On the 5th page of reviews for Kenmore FL model 48116 the person reports that clothes don't get wet that are in the middle, and that they don't come out rinsed. Well, with a statement like that she actually says two things here. One is that she is overloading the machine. She states that she can only fill it 2/3 full--hhhmmmm something doesn't jive here. I also know that this machine does 3 rinses in it's cycles. I know this as a friend of mine has this machine (3 yrs now) and I get to see it run. There is also the option for extra rinse on this machine for a maxium of 4 rinses. My HE3 that I bought 5 yrs ago only does 2 rinses in its cycles with an extra rinse option for 3 rinses. Most odor/smell problems comes from people keeping the door cloesed after use and not using enough detergent for their soil/water conditions or using too much and not using hot water and bleach for whites. As stated above, I have had my HE3 now for 5 yrs, It's been moved twice, and as of this post today, I have not had one repair done on this machine. In my manual it said to throw out the shipping bolts once removed and if moving the machine, us a dolly from the side, not the front or back which I did when I moved it. I have not had any issues with mold or a smelly drum. When I moved into my new house 5 yrs ago, it was on well water with a whole house water softner. Even so the water had a very high iron content. I went to the store and got some "yellow out" to wash my whites with once a month. Now I'm on city water which is medium in hardness. I do switch back and forth alot from liquid to powder detergent. In my personal experience I have found that using the sears ultra plus seems to clean the tub and seals as well as strips the laundry from any detergent build-up. As far as tangling goes, yes, sometimes I do have tangling. That is when I was a load that contains alot of PJ bottoms, and long sleeve shirts. I reduce this by folding the PJ bottoms and placing them in the drum. It has been discussed on here about a learning curve when going to a FL, but I never understand that statement cuz I never had that issue. Yes, you do have to sort laundry differenly to wash similar fabrics together, but you should be doing that in any washer. I'm going to leave it at that. My point is, some people will exaggerate issues they have and makes easy fixes into huge problems. Again I'm sure that there are issues out there, but also try and read between the lines as......See MoreThis is So Much Harder Than I Expected
Comments (31)It is not easy to lose a parent, especially one that has been so involved in your life. What wonderful memories! Like you, both of my parents died under the care of Hospice. I am an only child, so I was the official "caregiver" in charge. My mom's passing was very quick, having been on Hospice only 4 days. Her illness was lengthy and horrendous so it was a blessing. I went to give her her 2 am morphine and she was gone. I was not there with her nor did I want to be. I did not think I could stand to see her pass. My dad was on Hospice for several months, which meant we bonded with the Hospice team. The chaplin, social worker, nurses and his daily care aide were all wonderful. I cherish the time we spent together, and even at the end when my DH and I were staying with him 24/7 we had many good times. I was giving him morphine and other drugs to keep him comfortable and was at his side, holding his had when he passed. It was beautiful. I never thought I could do it, but I have nothing but positive memories. I miss my parents every single day, but feel so blessed to have had them for so long. They were incredible parents, grandparents, etc. Our family cherishes the memories. I'm sending prayers to you and your family. May you find the inner strength that you need to get you through this time. You father is one very lucky man to have such a supportive family. It's time to let him go with dignity and in peace. PM me if you want to chat....See MoreHelp!! Decorating bed is turning out to be harder than it should be!
Comments (15)Thanks everyone! Ok, so far I’m nixing all the extra ones except maybe the 2 gray linen look ones. I’ll look for a long one in a sea glass color and maybe a throw to match? My room has a lot of brown furniture in it. An antique pine desk and chair that will stay and a table that I think I’ll paint white. It has way too much brown in it, consequently I need the lighter gray. Ignore the duvet, it has brown in it! Definitely need more options. Not a lot of stores where I live!...See MoreBaby Pinky
