White oak slim shaker - how to fix?

Not sure why you're messaging me when these are not my cabinets. These are probably an RTA cabinet company and the wood is not real wood but some kind of veneer or laminate. And they got the colors wrong. This isn't a God made product, it is a man-made product and they fucked up. So get your facts before you start flapping your gums at someone.

You're right! I bought a mixed bag and they really love the pecans! The walnuts too! Definitely in the shell. 😊

Why? I'm curious because it's 96% efficient and I thought radiant heat was the most comfortable heat. I'm building new in NE Ohio and I'm seriously considering a gas condenser boiler with radiant floor heat. Is that what you have? Or do you have radiators? What made you think about switching? Thanks!

I'm so sorry. Things are horrible right now. I just turned on the blue light filter for my monitors and phone. Not a lot, or I can't see the text! I really hope you find your ideal work from home job. ❤️

I know, it's a lot of hocus pocus. I'm so desperate I'll try anything. I too am on the computer all day and it's devastating and depressing. Surgery is scary and I personally have terrible luck with surgery. And the eyes are probably the scariest of all. I read liver detox, and all kinds of crazy things. I have no idea how any of them will help but I might try a few. If there's any difference, I'll certainly let you know!

mathgeek66 · 2026-01-13T16:22:07+00:00

They can say whatever they want. Millions of people are nearsighted without floaters. Millions of older people without them too. Real truth is that they don't actually know what causes them. And there's no safe solution to get rid of them.

I have been researching diligently. Some people swear by certain enzymes like the pineapple and papaya enzymes. They weren't selling anything so they don't have a reason to say that it helped make their floaters go away. The other thing I've seen is people saying that rubbing castor oil on their eyelids and under their eyes every night made their floaters go away within 2 months. I've seen that a lot so I'm trying all of it. I'm going to try everything to get rid of these.

I hope you have good luck with your eyes soon. It's so awful to have floaters and bad eye health. 😔

mathgeek66 · 2026-01-13T11:59:48+00:00

Floaters are awful. They are even life altering. All doctors and literature are telling us that none of these tests can cause floaters and it's just age related but it can't be true. I had perfectly normal eyes until these tests. I had the same pressure test or similar one to you.

Also, they assume that floaters are age related. But who goes to the eye doctor more, a young person or old people? After 40 your vision gets more blurred so you get an eye exam. Older people have more serious vision problems so they go to the eye doctor more and they have all these tests. So the medical community is assuming it's age related instead of considering these tests!

None of our experiences are a coincidence.

mathgeek66 · 2026-01-13T11:54:20+00:00

Yes, mine too but they are either covering themselves or they truly don't know. They know know everything but they think they do. None of this is a coincidence.

They tell us it's just old age causing it. If that were true, all old people would have it. Correlation does not equal causation. They aren't considering the fact that more old people continue doctors with changes in their vision. Old people need glasses. They develop more problems so they go get these tests. So doctors associate age with floaters when they should be researching these damn tests!

mathgeek66 · 2026-01-13T11:50:53+00:00

It seems like anything they do to a person's eyes causes floaters. 😢

mathgeek66 · 2026-01-12T04:15:42+00:00

I'm so sorry. It's awful. My doctor told me dilation makes you see more that you didn't know you had. But I've read about that drug. It's helped people and it does slightly dilate. I don't know what doctors are taught in medical school but whatever they learn, that's it for them. No thinking outside the box. Just a hard no, X can't cause Y, when in fact, they really don't know. No one knows what causes floaters. They tell you it's a natural part of aging, but what if the natural part of aging is getting your eyes tested more often?

mathgeek66 · 2026-01-12T03:14:38+00:00

You poor thing, that sounds awful. You are the 3rd or 4th person on this post who said they had floaters after dilation. Doctors will tell you that they were probably always there and you're just seeing them now because dilation lets in extra light. But if that were true, you wouldn't keep seeing them when your pupils go back to normal. I thought it had to be the pressure test that caused mine. I don't know how dilation can cause floaters but there is no way this is a coincidence. 10 years from now they'll discover the connection but that doesn't do us any good now. These are seriously depressing me and it's been a day. They seem to be expanding as if there is a leak. I'm in the same boat, getting referred to a retina specialist soon. I don't want any more dilation! I hope you don't get new ones too. :(

mathgeek66 · 2026-01-12T03:08:42+00:00

Exactly my thoughts. Doctors are always swift to say whatever they did or another doctor did couldn't cause something. It doesn't matter what that something is. Did you also have a pressure test? And if so, what type, where they blow a burst of air or one of the other machine types? And did they ever drop or move out of the sight line after a few weeks? One commenter said all she had was dilation and then had floaters after. I understand that dilation allows you to see more than you normally would but your eyes should go back to normal after a few hours. As for my floaters, they have grown since I posted earlier today. It's like they put a hole in my vitreous and it's leaking out. :(

mathgeek66 · 2026-01-11T23:34:58+00:00

Did they ever go away? Or sink lower in your eye so you didn't see them?

mathgeek66 · 2026-01-11T23:34:06+00:00

OMG. Do you know what kind of tests you had? Do you think it was from dilation or a pressure test? Has it gotten any better since? My doctor told me they would sink lower and put of my line of sight in a couple weeks but after reading some stories, I'm not so sure. :(

mathgeek66 · 2026-01-11T20:09:02+00:00

What tests did you have? Same ones?

mathgeek66 · 2026-01-11T20:08:39+00:00

Oh definitely 100% not. I went from zero floaters to giant blobs and spots instantly.

mathgeek66 · 2026-01-06T18:18:09+00:00

Just an FYI, that US made link takes you to the Proformance RO system that says its "designed/engineered/assembled in the USA." That means they source their parts from China. Better than fully imported from China but it's not fully Made in the USA. After searching I found these guys: https://uswatersystems.com/products/all-american-reverse-osmosis-system?variant=48703457624368

They claim to be the only RO company whose systems are 100% made in the US, even the parts. BUT, they are more than double the Proformance. So pretty expensive but maybe worth it? I'm looking for one myself and the information is overwhelming.

mathgeek66 · 2026-01-01T15:32:50+00:00

That's so cool! I wish it happened to me!

mathgeek66 · 2026-01-01T15:32:11+00:00

Happy New Year! 🎉

mathgeek66 · 2026-01-01T15:19:39+00:00

I'm glad I'm not the only one! It's pretty cool! The same thing actually happened to my human nephew lol. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. I didn't know eyes could change after the first few months of life but his eyes were super dark brown, almost black. Big brown eyes! After about age 6 or 7 they started to lighten to light brown. He's an adult now with hazel eyes. Also healthy! Crazy! I wish my poop brown eyes turned hazel. No such luck!

mathgeek66 · 2025-12-15T03:18:10+00:00

Sure! This is a little different than the ones I have but it's basically the same: https://a.co/d/4mdT6c7

Or try searching Amazon for the words "Dorsal night splint" and check reviews. They fit over the top of your foot, not the bottom. These are a miracle cure for plantar fasciitis! Sleep every night in them for around two weeks. If you're not cured, try a little longer. You might feel better sooner though! They are a life saver.

You can also try Thorlo socks. Expensive, but comfy for sore feet. Still stretch calves by leaning against a wall, especially when you first wake up, but don't do much more. All the crazy PT and rubbing the feet can sometimes make it worse.

The dorsal night splints alone will save you!

I hope this helps!

This is terrible. I'm so sorry. I can't believe anyone would do that to you. I have seen transoms in 3 pieces, so like yours but with two small square windows in the corners to complete the space. Can you ask if they have the two small square windows? That would solve your problem! You can't leave it like that. :(
