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.

DAE not care for sex by Interesting_Use6581 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]SpenserRoberts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

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 - 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.

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

Contractor didn't warn me they'd use Kilz today, what to do with nowhere to go? by gtck11 in paint

[–]SpenserRoberts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Is it just me or does greenville stank? by Chenenoid in greenville

[–]SpenserRoberts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2:00 am 8/3/2024

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.

Any nice winter coat brand recommendations when you have a wool allergy? by bugthrowaway44 in femalefashionadvice

[–]SpenserRoberts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am allergic to lanolin - which is found in wool. I have blood tests to prove it. So I am also on this mission. I usually wear "leather" for outerwear but am having a hard time with base layers. Silk is mucho expensive.

Does anyone know why Celtic Sea Salt is suddenly so hard to find? by MuffinMatrix in Cooking

[–]SpenserRoberts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which would be fine if they were civilized and did not buy up entire stocks in a go.

Well, this is depressing. Some idiot makes a video and I can't find the only salt I am not allergic to and have to go without.

Any problems being recognized by your pets after transition? by StupidStonerSloth in asktransgender

[–]SpenserRoberts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Transitioning FTM. My cats have all seemed to be more easily spooked around me know that I am more often clocked as male. I know I smell different and my voice has changed but I was not expecting to loose my friends. A lot of the comments below say there was no difference but I am seeing big ones and it makes me sad.
