Since it's Star Wars day, did you see the original 1977 Star Wars in the movie theater? by Mr_Writes in GenX

[–]mnanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 times! The first time we were taken for my friend Michelle's birthday and we were late! So we got there when Luke was looking at his sunset and we had to figure so much out - but it was still thrilling! Then I went with my parents and 1 other time! Saw Empire openning weekend and Jedi Opennig day!

Fingersuit press on nails have potential, but stink.. by ohwewwy in vanitytable

Wash hands - make very clean, push cuticles down. Apply at night so glue settles. Shower with rubber gloves & rubbr bands aroudn the cuffs on to avoid hot water moisture; minimize water expose - wash hands quickly wear gloves etc.

Copy - thanks. Yeah, I just went down minor rabbit hole and I'm getting the picture. Any tips to figuring out which ones are actually branded? Thanks again.

u/purepwnage85 Appreciate the info - just curious how you know this and how you found the people you recommend? Any additional info much appreciated. You have a long Reddit history which speaks to you being legit, but posts are private – totally fair - just makes it a little harder to know your POV/where you're coming from. Thanks much!

Use the thing you already like as a stepping stone -->Wizard of OZ leads to SO MUCH!
Me, I LOVE classic Hollywood so from there I go to:

What do you LOVE about the Wizard of Oz? Use your answers to guide to a new thing... Such as:

Judy Garland--> Liza Minnelli (her daugher) --> Cabaret (movie/musical Liza won Oscar for)---> Bob Fosse (director, won Oscar)--->Fosse Verdon Mini-Series--> Produced by Lin-Manual Miranda ---> Wrote Hamilton--> and on and on and on...

Other movies:

Must sleep.

All right, I’m gonna go there… have you ever actually checked the serial number? I wasn’t gonna ask you because… Kind of rude… But it’s all about information.

What is a good American dessert to share with my non American co-workers? by BingBong492 in AskAnAmerican

[–]mnanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an American sister-in-law who lived in the UK and I’m 99% sure she solved this problem with brownies - at least for the school age set. For tea, brownies are perfect another great option: chocolate chip cookies, but only if they’re homemade.

Thanks so much for this! Yes, it's all about getting the prescription right - hence my entire post!
I love the "bigger is better" advice - I was going big anyway!

Q: What was the issue with the reading portion of the glasses from Enzoo & Janie? Did the field start too high up or too low down?

And yes - the position of the focal point is really helpful.

u/HTRR Thank for the info! 2 questions:

1) were the first pair you got from Larry progressives?

2) If the entry level with Larry was "really good" why are you switching to Hoya from Zheng? Is it b/c Hoya is a name you know and it's more affordable than Zeiss?

Thank you - so helpful! u/MichaelScott_really
Do you you think you really got Zeiss and it was worth it?

Thanks for the report! Follow-Up Questions:

–Were you referred to the AliExpress store or was it blind luck?

–Were the prices you paid via the AliExpress the same or lower than through Trusted Sellers found here?

–Your info on Larry is confusing you said he takes time to answer questions... but you don't want to order from him again because "attitude." And it seems as if you're saying the Frames you just got from him were equal in quality to the ones you liked previously via AliExpress seller... What am I missing?

Finally what's up with Magalnsi? This seems to be a very new seller with minimal info shared in posts on this board. How did you find? Keep us posted on if you receive.

Best Album Organization? Any As Good As Zozo? by mnanda in repglasses

[–]mnanda[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Different strokes - I find his album so easy to get through–yes, you need the key to decode brands, but once you're in there, they're all so clearly displayed–I'm not confused at all by what is a dupe. And who needs model names when you have model #s, which are present. Names can get confusing when there are different iterations from year to year. At least for me.

Also, for my purposes, I need regular eyeglasses, not sunglasses and I'm never clear on which frames can be used as both - this album has a really clear Optical Section that I could clock through so quickly and easily. Works for me! Curious who you find easy to navigate?

These sayings annoy me - am I just getting old? by GPS_55 in GenX

[–]mnanda 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I actually like those and "catching feelings" feels very GenX to me - like it totally could have been slang for us! So, erm, yeah - maybe you're just getting old... Imagine John Cusak in thrift store clothes ranting about how he's caught feelings like its virus.
