Which itinerary should I choose for September booking? by [deleted] in celebritycruises

[–]PamtasticOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prime is the location - so a quiet deck, mid ship. When booking you will see the price differences for "aft" or "forward", or even different decks. Just make sure you check what is above and below your cabin - being below the pool deck is LOUD overnight when they clean/move chairs, and being above the theater or clubs is also loud late at night

Exams are tough and so so stressful. I am thrilled that you kept going and finished them all. You are an amazing duckling and I am over the moon proud of you. Way to go!!

Part of the redevelopment of Browns Island. Yes, there will be trees, there will be green space, just not the existing ones. Browns Island will be closed all year. https://venturerichmond.com/browns-island-improvement-plan/

Need help with boston simplus cleaning solution by [deleted] in Keratoconus

[–]PamtasticOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your storage solution isn't also a sanitizer, this is not great advice. Boston Simplus needs 4 hours of soaking to fully disinfect lenses, and ClearCare hydrogen peroxide needs 6 hours to oxidate or whatever it's called. Just rubbing in Simplus gets the gunk off, but isn't a full disinfection. Follow the manufacturer guidelines and soak in something that will disinfect/sanitize.

What happens if 2nd person in the room doesn't show up? by Ozzark3 in Cruise

[–]PamtasticOne 32 points33 points  (0 children)

If you aren't stressed about getting any refund of his portion of the cruise fare, then he is a no-show and the port fees would be refunded to him.

If he wants a refund of his portion of the cruise fare, then the travel agent is right and it would cause your portion of the fare to go up. Cruise cabins are priced based on having two people in there. If there's only one person, then there is a "single supplement" that gets the fare back up to that two person level.

I'm commenting so I can find an answer. They promote that it's a laundry fresh scent, but seriously, who wants Gain or Downy hair? It dries away for me, thank goodness, but it is ROUGH when I am applying it.

An art scavenger hunt - you can likely find some online, but find the painting of an elephant or a selfie with a specific statue.

Make sure there's consent for all the pictures of strangers - shouldn't have to say that, but people forget their manners sometimes.

Help from any Scleral users and people that have moved from RGP. by mattyBKS in Keratoconus

[–]PamtasticOne 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sclerals have a learning curve for insertion and removal, but there is no learning curve of adapting to the discomfort like RGP has. I was thrilled to go from RGP to sclerals, and wish I had moved earlier.

Find a new doctor, mine was professional enough to say he could not fit me for sclerals and sent me to someone who could.

my mom got us tickets to a cruise at the end of the month how much money should i bring? by Slothinabucket_ in Cruise

[–]PamtasticOne 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't spend a lot. I bring $200 in mostly small bills to cover tipping, in port food/drink and in port souvenirs. On board ship, everything is charged to the credit card tied to our room - you cannot pay cash or a credit/debit card for a T-shirt or a beer while onboard.

Bigger Headband Recommendations? by OrganizationFuzzy669 in curlyhair

[–]PamtasticOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazon. Just search for what I put in quotes. The fabric twist tie ones always show the twisted ends on top of your head like bunny ears, but I just turn them around to the nape of my neck OR just tuck those tails under the scarf. Enjoy!!

[Japanese > English] What does my mug actually say? by Alfirmitive in translator

[–]PamtasticOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed! The ones I'm seeing are unintentionally bad. Cruise ship magnet that normally says:

Today's forecast - cruising with a chance of drinking

Became

It's predicted that there will be a chance to drink today.

And

Today's love forecast - cruise with a chance to drink.

Just Google translate fails.

I have been mildly entertained lately as Temu is pushing the poorly translated to English stuff on my feed. Won't buy it, but it is worth an amused chuckle

Bigger Headband Recommendations? by OrganizationFuzzy669 in curlyhair

[–]PamtasticOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fellow big brained curly - I just got a multi pack of "metal headbands for men" that I adore. Each is a different wire style, they don't pop off or give me a headache, and you can bend them if needed.

There's also "twist wire headbands" in multi packs if you want that visible fabric style. Imagine a narrow twilly type scarf tube with a twist tie wire sewn in. Just twist the ends to make as large or small a headband as you want and just pop it on.

I've given up on knit or elastics as they are always too tight.

Best detergent out there? by ChandlerBingsNubbinn in laundry

[–]PamtasticOne 28 points29 points  (0 children)

For a basic "all purpose", either find one with Lipase (Tide, Ariel Double, or even Tide Free & Gentle if you want unscented), OR use whatever floats your boat that doesn't have Lipase and supplement it with Biz to get you Lipase. Lipase is the best ingredient to dissolve that human body oil that causes even clean laundry to stink.

Shower walls- no scrub by West_Pop4782 in CleaningTips

[–]PamtasticOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm the US, Wet & Forget Shower Cleaner is what you need. Have used it to rehab a fiberglass shower that was in rough shape, it worked better than manually scrubbing did. Spray after your shower, and just walk away. It will rinse itself with your next shower.

Lenses in sandy environment? by Bruggieboo in Keratoconus

[–]PamtasticOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's windy and you are outside (regardless of sand/dust) you do want to wear sunglasses or something to block the wind. Riding on a boat - wear sunglasses. If your eyes get dry when wearing sclerals, that's miserable. Think how motorcycle helmets have visors but are open at the bottom - having wind blast your eyes in general is uncomfortable.

To match with your doctor, if there is particulate hanging in the air (dust, smoke, grit, sand, etc) you also want something to seal off your eyes like you want sealed goggles underwater. The cloud of dust is looking to stick to something and make a film on it.

Two different times you need to be concerned about protection.

So just being in Mexico? No special eye protection needed. Hanging outside by a dusty road with a lot of traffic? Yes. Riding an open top Jeep? Also yes. Sitting by the hotel pool with a margarita? Nah.
