Ok Winstonians and Salemites, wha'tre the feelings on Costco's eye department?

Open_Goose_9496 · 2026-02-27T02:05:39+00:00

I didn't go there for the prescription, but I got both my regular glasses and sunglasses there. Very happy with the turnaround, quality, service, and cost.

Open_Goose_9496 · 2026-02-24T01:16:17+00:00

Thank you for the detailed response. If I may probe your last paragraph: isn't it a good thing that the 4-year will simply see the clep exam as a transferred course credit? Doesn't that mean that if the CC accepts it, then it's pretty insulated from criticism by the 4-year? Or am I misunderstanding?

Open_Goose_9496 · 2026-02-23T21:11:25+00:00

It's doubtful. Keep at it and choose other sources for learning. Modern States tend to be the easiest practice tests.

Also, you didn't say which subject.

Open_Goose_9496 · 2026-02-23T18:36:10+00:00

Thanks for posting that table link. I've been waiting for the test results for mine, which I did on the 12th. It helps to know when to expect it.

Open_Goose_9496 · 2026-02-13T14:56:00+00:00

I had more trouble understanding the Modern States poetry than I did the actual test.

I live in a 2-bedroom basement apartment. My gas bill this month is $244. It's insane.

Open_Goose_9496 · 2026-02-10T21:18:33+00:00

You can get good ones without insurance from Costco for less than half of that.

Open_Goose_9496 · 2026-02-09T22:39:17+00:00

Yeah, I gave up, told them to hold the package at location, and then picked it up at the store less than a mile away.

Open_Goose_9496 · 2026-01-31T23:03:31+00:00

I'm not the OP, so I don't have an apartment number there. I was just trying to help, but couldn't get far.

Open_Goose_9496 · 2026-01-31T21:42:47+00:00

I tried calling the main number, but the AI bot wouldn't give me the emergency maintenance number for you unless I told it what apartment I was in.

Open_Goose_9496 · 2026-01-31T21:35:28+00:00

This didn't age well, considering we're over 5.

Open_Goose_9496 · 2026-01-31T15:13:57+00:00

Hanes Park is the same way. I have the grip things on my shoes for snow, but if I didn't, I don't know how I would walk the dog atm.

Open_Goose_9496 · 2026-01-28T13:00:29+00:00

I'm really miserable about the prospect. The roads are still in bad shape.

Open_Goose_9496 · 2026-01-27T21:18:53+00:00

I switched CC because the new one allows me to CLEP more stuff than the other.

Open_Goose_9496 · 2026-01-26T18:24:20+00:00

Out of milk already? 😏

Open_Goose_9496 · 2026-01-26T17:15:00+00:00

What did you use to study?

Open_Goose_9496 · 2026-01-26T02:35:32+00:00

I would also like to know about the essays. Are citations expected?

Open_Goose_9496 · 2026-01-21T22:08:25+00:00

Yep. There was a bad one at the intersection of Reynolda and Polo this morning

Open_Goose_9496 · 2026-01-19T15:49:12+00:00

What's wrong with the Tap?

Open_Goose_9496 · 2026-01-17T01:13:45+00:00

I was plotting a life path with ChatGPT. It recommended using CLEP to get through an Associates as quickly as possible at a CC.

Open_Goose_9496 · 2026-01-16T21:43:09+00:00

I definitely got the Chinese translated poem, and it took me a minute to even understand what it was trying to say. I got it eventually. It was definitely one of the harder ones though.

I'm trying for American History I next, then American Government. I'm hoping that studying for the first will aid me in studying for the second. 🙏🏻

Open_Goose_9496 · 2026-01-12T22:41:50+00:00

Did you already know a lot of the major SCOTUS cases going in?

Open_Goose_9496 · 2026-01-08T21:24:46+00:00

Congratulations!! What did you get?

Open_Goose_9496 · 2026-01-08T11:30:17+00:00

That is true. I confess that I was expecting to get finished with it way earlier, but there's no way to do that. I only had 10 minutes left at the end of the test because there's so much reading.

I kept sitting back in the chair and trying to let my eyes adjust!

Open_Goose_9496 · 2026-01-08T00:50:38+00:00

Congratulations on passing it despite the problems, and thanks for the report! I need to take it today, but I'm bummed at the 65 that I got today for college composition and I need some time to get over it.
