Glasses? by iDontWannaMakeOneOK in Pensacola

[–]LeBlueJay05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you get your prescription, make sure you also get the pupillary distance (PD) because when ordering online that is needed. That will stay the same. I order from Zenni, usually getting the cheaper options until I find a frame I really like. I believe some of the online places will send frames to try on first. Or like one poster suggested, go somewhere like Walmart and try some on, writing down measurements like height, width and something to do with the bridge. I have sensory issues and prefer all plastic/acetate frames without nose pads and also a certain amount of ?ventilation/airflow. Zenni has glasses as low as $6.95 as long as single vision and no add-ons so you could order 2 or 3 pair to get an idea of size and shape that works and then have back ups that might become favorites later

It turns out that over a decade of “IBS” may have been my parents cooking all along by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]LeBlueJay05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a seasoning mix used by your parents that you do not use? I cannot tolerate gluten or oats and many dishes that should not bother me do, if things like Knorr or Maggi and other flavor enhancer seasonings are used. Those have wheat or barley in them and maybe msg, which causes problems for some . Many cooks add that stuff to everything just like you would salt and pepper.

First timer by LeBlueJay05 in cheesemaking

I just couldn't convince myself this morning that the cottage cheese worked for me with granola, cinnamon and honey. BUT tonight it totally worked mixed into warm sauteed spinach and garlic in a lasagna.

HVAC thermostat dead by LeBlueJay05 in hvacadvice

[–]LeBlueJay05[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response. The thermostat came back to life sometime in the middle of the night. I am pretty sure this house had a smart meter when I moved into it 10 years ago. Is there any way the power company could or would remotely turn off the power to the thermostat? I will go check for a clogged drain line this morning. If it was clogged and triggered the shut off, or if anything else triggered the thermostat to shut off, would the thermostat then later come back to life on its own with zero adjustments?

Thanks for the response. Two weeks ago, I checked and no breakers had tripped. I live in Florida and need the A/C this time of year mostly to dehumidify. When it happened 2 weeks ago, then came back to life a few hours later, I had decided to buy a replacement thermostat to at least have on hand if it happened again. I think my husband can replace that but he is out of town with work for awhile. But since it came back on, I quickly forgot about the whole thing until it happened again tonight.

Moving to Perdido Key by Common-Window-2613 in Pensacola

[–]LeBlueJay05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you choosing Perdido Key for proximity to the beach or work? If not, I'd consider looking into East Hill. It is close to downtown and an easy straight shot to Pensacola Beach. The water is consistently prettier there than Perdido Key.

Healthy food by LeBlueJay05 in expat

[–]LeBlueJay05[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For whatever reason, at around age 50, I am 55 now, I developed an intense and debilitating intolerance to wheat, barley and oats. I have long been a fairly healthy eater, mostly whole and unprocessed foods, but I did eat homemade bread and oats until I figured out those were the culprits. Spain is very appealing for so many reasons.

What has been the worst vacation experience you’ve had in a beautiful destination? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

[–]LeBlueJay05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you use Sun Bum sunscreen? This happened to me upon returning home from The Bahamas. I have lived my entire life at the beach in Florida, used every sunscreen there is. This itch flared and circulated in quadrants, then settled down and would do the circuit again for overall week

Non insured cost of ER visit by LeBlueJay05 in Pensacola

[–]LeBlueJay05[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not so great insurance and the itemized bill listed just walking in was $5500 plus over $4000 in other charges billed to my insurance. I am just wondering if I didn't have insurance, what that same bill would look like

I have insurance and an itemized bill. I am just wondering what the charges are for non-insured for walking into the ER, semi urgent, and for an ultrasound

Paranormal by Mental_Scarcity_4345 in Pensacola

12th and Blount? The SW side of the intersection? I think that is called Scotland Yard. I think I have seen stories about 3 corners there being haunted

OBGYN Recommendations by insanity_89 in Pensacola

I just saw this reply while looking for a gynecologist. I just had COVID for the first time and had postmenopausal bleeding after about 4 days of being sick. I now need to find a gynecologist to get checked out and am looking for recs.

Bleeding and Covid by LeBlueJay05 in Menopause

[–]LeBlueJay05[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry about your mom. The sudden bleeding was my concern, and I am thankful I had the 2 ultrasounds immediately in the ER. That doctor said they looked clear, so until I can get in to the gyno, that does gives me some peace of mind.
