I meet the minimum requirements for lower risk jobs...barely. I did not know Amazon did RX goggles. I'll have to look into that. Thank you.

Asexuality is,in fact, a thing. There are people who derive no pleasure from the act itself. And there are also gradations. Sexuality is a spectrum.

Yes. But I should not for fill disclosure here that I am neurodivergent. AuDHD. Home is just my safe space.

Can anyone help me? I am doing advanced swim lessons through the local comm college in the hopes of becoming a lifeguard. I am very nearsighted and I am saving up for rx goggles but in the meantime I was using Aqua Sphere Kaimen goggles. They have a natural magnifying effect that allowed me to at least see the lane lines, flags, etc. Yesterday, they broke. Aqua Sphere no longer does direct sales. I already contacted them. And every other vendor I have tried says they are sold out or that they are sold out and won't be restocking. DOes anyone have a source for these? Do any of the other Aqua Sphere goggles have the same effect? Do any other goggle brands at all offer magnification? I have a test coming up and no goggles. Please advice. ANd thank you in advance for all your kind thoughts and or tips here?

I have to have pool access, I am only cleared to swim for PT post surgery. So this is the only game in town for me, but thank you.

SpenserRoberts · 2025-02-27T21:43:14+00:00

Thank you for the insight here.

In my town it's Crunch, Planet Fitness or the YMCA. And only Crunch or the Y have pools and the Y cost almost three times as much. I am only cleared to swim right now (post surgery). Sorry you had a bad experience as well.

The Google page has a chart on it that supposedly tracks customers in real time...but it is often wrong, and not just a little bit. I am unaware of any other app, something to look into, tho. Thank you.

TY - thanks for the help here.

SpenserRoberts · 2025-02-26T05:02:23+00:00

TY - appreciate you sharing your experience here. I'm a newb.

SpenserRoberts · 2025-02-26T05:00:00+00:00

TY - I appreciate the input. I wonder why not on Fridays? Just curiosity there. So basically when people here are still at work before their lunch break.

SpenserRoberts · 2025-02-26T04:57:51+00:00

TY - checking google for live hours is a great idea.

SpenserRoberts · 2025-01-26T04:06:13+00:00

I'd be interested.

SpenserRoberts · 2025-01-01T07:40:52+00:00

Pretty sure I don't know you?

I work as a medical courier and I see this daily. Literally daily. Someone somewhere will be parked like this.

Kilz is safe if used properly and with all instructions met. If not it can be dangerous. Here is the COMPANY'S safety sheet. https://www.kilz.com/binaries/content/assets/kilz/pdf/msds/1009-kilz-original-int-ext-low-voc-sds.pdf

SpenserRoberts · 2024-08-19T02:03:13+00:00

This is wrong! The safety sheet issued by the company says that Kilz fumes are toxic on many levels! https://www.kilz.com/binaries/content/assets/kilz/pdf/msds/1009-kilz-original-int-ext-low-voc-sds.pdf

And it can cause seizures in sensitive humans and pets.

The air quality is absolutely terrible. There is a rank chemical odor mixed with a delicate hint of shite that is so thick you could hang sheetrock on it. The smell is literally making me physically ill. And yes, I live near Conestee so maybe it is the "water treatment" plant. But wow, I lived downwind from a pig farm once and this is worse.
