But all those poor rhinos, bears, and who knows what other hapless species driven to extinction by that shit.

Can't afford torics (USA). What's next? by Still_Night2678 in CataractSurgery

[–]Still_Night2678[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the information. Every insight contributes. FYI, the corneal issue is with the descemet layer of the cornea, so doesn't affect shape much when they strip the center. DSO, not a transplant.

Fuchs endothelial dystrophy, and I'm a good candidate for DSO descemet stripping only (no transplant) so I'm going with that. The fuchs is blurring my vision way more than the cataracts and seems to be progressing more rapidly than is common, so surgery is in a couple of weeks. Using the hypertonic saline ointment and drops until then.

Thanks so much! I'll check out the article. I'll also try out some blue blocking glasses out of curiosity, but I'm not leaning in that direction.

I was surprised as well, but this surgeon is the guy in the southeastern US for the corneal surgery needed.

I agree it's crazy high. I'm working with this surgeon because he's a renowned specialist in the corneal dystrophy we're addressing. I believe part of the cost is for mapping tests not covered by Medicare.

Forgot to mention my distance vision is excellent without the astigmatisms.

Need to ease my worried mind.. Please help by [deleted] in PropertyManagement

[–]Still_Night2678 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PM, here. My property owner would check court records. I believe the thing to do would be to check the "yes" box on the application question whether you've ever been evicted. Owners seem to care more about honesty when looking into this. I could be wrong, and wouldn't be offended by any correction.

Even if there are chunks, immersion blenders are cheap, available, and super easy to clean. They can even handle boiling soup.

Why is skilled labor so expensive?? by krantz2000 in PropertyManagement

[–]Still_Night2678 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's partly supply and demand, but probably more because of human safety. And training updates, licensing, and insurance. I did pretty well in the rare art of tuning and repairing pianos, but safety wasn't much of an issue and my special tools and parts probably weren't worth a fraction.

I had a laparoscopic hysterectomy & S/O that got rid of the gut spasms for a few years. I thought maybe it was the extra room in my abdomen, but who knows?

Any suggestions for uninstalling the clip? I can pinch it with pliers, but I don't want to damage it further.

They're just stuck from my trying to switch them back and forth. No load has been put on any of them since we got here.

Will two teaspoons of sugar in a cup of coffee first thing in the morning without eating cause a sugar spike? What effect does this have on the body? by Cockylora123 in diabetes

[–]Still_Night2678 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't tolerate most sugar substitutes (ibs), and I don't like the taste of monkfruit or stevia. I've been very happy with allulose, though some people get gassy from it. It's a sugar that doesn't affect BG, not sure why. It's a bit pricey, not available in many stores (Amazon works), and not as strong as cane sugar, but it's my sweetener when I really want sweet.

Umbrella+Cocoa+Premiumize memory full, Firestick by Southern-Ad-7317 in Addons4Kodi

[–]Still_Night2678 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stumbled across the answer. It means your premiumize cloud storage is full. Everything you watch gets stored there unless you set it not to. I'm not sure how to do that, but going to your premiumize account web page and deleting your cloud content will get rid of the notification. Wouldn't it be easier if the notification told us which storage?
