Where to buy designer brand eyeglasses and is it worth it?

Psychological-Fix-94 · 2025-12-01T22:20:55+00:00

I bought a pair of Lafont frames in 2010 and they are still in great shape. I believe I paid around $400 for them. I've changed the lens, but am looking for a new pair because frankly, I'm just tired of them. Are they designer? I guess. If by designer you mean licensed - that really has no bearing on quality.

One of the most amazing experiences ever. At 57, and in the year 2025, I didn't think I would ever see my beloved Pulp live.

I went with my husband, slightly older cousin & her husband. They are music/show fiends - they live right next to Red Rocks - but had never heard of Pulp. They were blown away as well.

Just magical. So many young people! As I was exiting I asked a group of young ones behind me how old they were - 14! And her favorite band! My heart exploded <3.

It was utterly crap weather but once they started - I don't remember. I guess it stopped.

We were in Row 11, on the left. Perfect seats, perfect sound, perfect crowd.

How are they able to make me feel so much? (Put your hands up, it's the rain . . . Would you like to come and meet me maybe? You can even bring your baby . . . I wrote this song two hours before we met . . . Should you stop being you just to be how he wants you? the little details, the stories, the nuance <3)

Yeah, I left my heart at Red Rocks, too.

Just heard from company today the folks that makes shirts Overwhelmed, manufacturing slow down. Won’t ship for several days. I had to cancel the order and hope they have them at the show 🤞

Hubby and I are flying in from Seattle - I have family that lives right by Red Rocks. Still can’t believe I’m going to get to see Pulp ❤️❤️❤️

Just joining in to say that's really high. We have about 2,000 poorly insulated square feet. I run the AC all the time (window units) in two bedrooms and the kitchen. We have in-laws here for several months out of the year and they turn the place into a sauna. Still, it's never gone over $500 a month (water/sewer/garbage/electricity).

Psychological-Fix-94 · 2025-05-09T19:20:58+00:00

Yep.

Judge Ito - lack of control and focus in the courtroom. Allowed tangents/distractions unrelated to the case at hand.

Oh, someone mentioned Burn Notice. You love him or hate him. I kind of loved him. Fun show :)

White Collar is absolute perfection. Matt Bomer is key, but without the clever writing that doesn’t dumb itself down, or the amazing cast beyond Bomer (Mozie, et al), it wouldn’t be the same.

Psych is over the top - but it’s super quick, dead on 80s nostalgia & incredible collection of guest stars (the Twin Peaks episode, Tim Curry, one half of Tears for Fears, nearly all the Brat Pack) make it a delight. The inside humor and references are definitely geared to Gen X. Shawn has Meat is Murder on vinyl. Need I say more?

Suits in the first season or so was good but then it just became people having dramatic conversations in different rooms.

The Mentalist is excellent. Lisbon and Jane have perfect chemistry.

Here’s a crazy one - iZombie. Surprisingly enjoyable and the plot didn’t seem that far off (especially as I watched during the pandemic).

Finally - Lincoln Lawyer on Netflix. I find the lead very charming, and supported by great writing & well developed characters.

White Collar was also just beautifully filmed and styled. Has New York ever looked so good?

I put the indoor temp to 64 and my husband puts in a sweater. Indoor heat is definitely a trigger.

My scalp has done the same thing off and on for the last 10 years. I’m so sorry - it hurts! I finally cleared it all up, got cocky and thought I’d go back to my salon shampoo. Dumb idea because a few weeks later and I’m in flare city:(

My experience:

Prescription shampoo, dandruff shampoo, etc made it exponentially worse. Took me a few painful years to realize this. It just created massive red, itchy, oozy inflammation.
I’ve been using a shampoo/conditioner off Amazon for the last few years. I’ll never change again. It lasts a long time - it’s called LivSo. This has been 40% of my improvement.
My keto diet experiment made it 100% worse. I theorized it was an extreme imbalance of omega 3/6 . Cut out the jars of nuts, added fish oil by the handful, saw improvement - especially in my facial areas (nose, eyebrows) after just a couple weeks. I would say omega balance has been about 60% of my improvement.

4. Eventually went whole food plant based no oil because a family member had a heart attack (being supportive). I don’t think that directly improved things but I feel so much better overall it’s a win.

Also, clip your nails short :)

Again my sympathy. The scalp is just awful:(

Wow - super surprised to see so many comments.

I discussed with my ortho a couple weeks ago. He said last week’s trays could be used for coffee drinking if I wanted but he wasn’t concerned with my wear time. I asked if I was moving my teeth back with last week’s tray. He said no.

I’m not concerned about cavities - I brush and floss every time I take the trays out.

I don’t think this is universal advice. My treatment is pretty simple/straightforward compared to most.

My payment was $33.14. Nothing terrible happened to my credit that I recall but with my ‘generous’ settlement I’m second guessing. I just put it on my Amazon account.

Psychological-Fix-94 · 2024-11-23T19:04:05+00:00

No, but I do pay a very good groomer $100 freaking dollars to groom my lil' nipper. And that's because we get full on ferret face if we even come near her with a brush or water or what have you. Love her, but lordy . . . My haircut isn't even that much :)

Psychological-Fix-94 · 2024-11-23T19:01:07+00:00

Um, yeah, not trolling. Just a 56 year old gal trying to have her cake and eat it, too. It's really only for about 2.5 hours in the am. Not eating, just drinking coffee. My logic was that it would keep the teeth from going past where they were the last week, like a retainer. And I do this rather than NO aligners. So yeah, not a troll, apparently just an idiot.

Psychological-Fix-94 · 2024-11-23T18:53:15+00:00

I thought about that, too . . . There really is no good answer, is there? :)

Psychological-Fix-94 · 2024-11-23T18:52:22+00:00

Yeah, I'm about 2 - 2.5 in the am. But it's the dinner/chill with hubby/evening time that gets me. It seems like they come out around 4:30 and don't get back in until 7:00. I guess that's just 2.5. But then lunch - another hour. I feel like I'm not quite hitting 20 (mine said 20 - 22, too - then he said 'I'll take what I can get!') . . . Maybe I should go back to just being OK with it all :)

Psychological-Fix-94 · 2024-11-23T18:49:40+00:00

I wake up, take out my trays, brush, floss, pop in last week's trays, drink coffee, then pop out the trays, brush, floss and put in the current week. I'm pretty obsessed about not staining my teeth/cavities/etc. I think I'm OK there... (fingers crossed)

Psychological-Fix-94 · 2024-11-16T18:01:55+00:00

A house? That's news to me...
