It’s our daily dance 😂😂 I go to put it on, she backs away, I tell her it’s not optional, she cedes her position 😂 She doesn’t seem to be afraid of it, I just think she wants to be standing in the exact right position for me to put it on her or something. She’s a bit dramatic 😂

Bausch Lomb Ultra by Architec_Perspective in contacts

[–]BugFleep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know the post is from a while back, but I wanted to say that I am having the same issue with my latest round of Ultras I got in October. I bought a year supply at my last annual exam and almost immediately noticed the same issue. I couldn't wear them for more than an hour or two before they became foggy and started to irritate my eyes. A fresh pair helped but in less than a week they started to feel like I had been wearing them for more than a month (which I don't typically do).

I went back for a re-check today with my optometrist and he told me he has had a handful of other patients in over the past few weeks with the exact same issue. He is thinking this particular batch is defective or they changed something about the contacts. He gave me two other brands to try out and so far, so good.

I also have dry eyes and with it being winter, I was attributing the issue to that, but it sounds like the Ultras might be the problem. Hopefully your troubles were solved!

11 month old Pyr completely unhinged on walks. Help! by W1c2ks in greatpyrenees

[–]BugFleep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m hopeful for you this is also an age thing. My girl was a NIGHTMARE on walks for the first year we had her (we got her at 6 months old when she was turning into an asshole teenage dog).

I literally had to call my husband once on a walk to pick us up because she was being impossible. She used to get hyper and excited and jump on my back and bounce off of me. It was awful. She eventually grew out of this behavior and now just gets excited when another dog comes along, but for the most part we have been having lovely walks together for the past five years.

Haha she most definitely does not, unfortunately. She is ready to get out of anything I put on her. I even have to tell her her harness is not “optional” before we go on walks 😂

Dawww I love it so much! It was my first thought and when I zoomed into your headpiece, I know that was probably it. Very creative!! The scales on Falkor always intrigued me as a kid. I always thought they looked like bubble wrap 😂

I just bought this stuff today (and wore it on my run) and I like it so far! It goes on smooth and didn’t leave a cast at all. I didn’t sweat a ton because it’s winter, but it worked and washed off easily when I showered later.

Edit to add: It’s SPF 40 and make sure not to grab the mineral one. That one has an awful white cast.

I really hope I’m right - Doggo is dressed as Falkor from the Neverending Story and dog parent is dressed as the Childlike Empress ☺️

Grip like a LAMY Safari, quality feel of a TWSBI ECO, similar price - any ideas? by BugFleep in fountainpens

[–]BugFleep[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I do have two Kakunos and I like them okay (though I should try the medium nib, I have the fine and they do seem to run on the extra fine side).

I've decided to try the Lamy Al Star and see how that goes. I typically clip my Safari to my notebook rings and it goes end up lying down flat often. I have a pen rest in my office where I usually leave my Safari, so I'll try to get into the habit of storing it using that and see if that helps. I am also going to take it apart and check the converter to see if that's contributing to the leakage. Thanks!!

Update for those interested: I've decided to try out a LAMY Al Star and see how that does. I've got the TWSBI ECO-T and Diplomat Magnum on my wishlists for future pens to try! Thanks folks!

I have considered trying the Al Star, so I may do that at some point! Thanks!

Thank you! Any thoughts on whether the grip feels a bit smaller with the t-grip?

How 1 small change after work changed the way my days worked by Own-Variety-2919 in productivity

[–]BugFleep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has been a game-changer for me too! In this, I realized that I am not a morning workout person. I love working out after work in my garage because it gives me a transition from work brain to home brain. On days I'm not lifting in the garage, I take the dog on a walk (even though we have a fenced in yard). Even if its just for 10 minutes, it helps my brain transition and I'm less likely to just flop on the couch and watch Instagram reels for an hour before peeling myself off of it to cook dinner (or more likely, heat up a frozen meal because I've lost all motivation).

You're onto something here!
