wurkit_gurl - 2008-07-17 8:54 AM Completely off-subject, but I was bad and slept in my contacts last night and now my left eye is all red and hurty... So I'm rockin' one contact right now until I can go home at lunch and put in a new pair.

Pulled that accidental move in college once. Was not fun trying to PRY the eyes open the next morning.

Funny thing is, I slept in my contacts ALL the time during college and grad school (esp. when dating someone - I'm so blind that during "gettin' it on" I didn't want to elbow the dude in the face or something). And never had a problem. Then back in September, my eyes said 'enough is enough'.

Isn't that part of the fun? 

But not very romantic...

I have a feeling tomorrow is going to be dead in here.  I won't be on either as I will be traveling up North for the SoR race.

Absolutely awesome city with a lot of great people.  Not at all what I thought of when someone said Pittsburgh.

BTW - maybe I was just lucky, but there seemed to be a disproportinately large amount of well-endowed women in the greater Pittsburgh area.

Romance is part of "getting it on"?

Yeah, so when you going to put up the Race Reports, bucko?!?!

Left over from another era.  They have done quite a bit to clean up the city.  I agree, it is not only clean, but quite pretty.  And I love coming out of the tunnel and you are all of a sudden on a bridge over the river.  THAT is COOL!

lisac957 - 2008-07-17 10:04 AM I regularly sleep in my contacts. I should probably stop doing that. My eye doc changed me to the Acuvue Oasis brand since I refuse to take them out they let a lot more oxygen in. Still should take them out though. My eyes are so bad though... and since I live by myself I REALLY hate the idea of waking up to sounds in the middle of the night and being so blind I wouldn't be able to identify an intruder. Yeah I think about that stuff.

That's what I wear now too, but my eye is still mad at me. Owie. At least I have cute glasses that I like now, and will wear at least at work (can't really sbr with them). I'm very near-sighted, so going without corrective lenses of some kind is not an option for me - at all.

What's your negative number for your contacts? I have some cute glasses from college (OMG forever ago) that I haven't updated the perscription because even back then, and with a thick frame, the lenses were so thick they were thicker than the frame. Helloooo coke bottle glasses! Sigh. I want Lasik so bad, but my eye doc says to wait until my eyes don't change for a few years. Hasn't happened yet. They will stablilize for a year, then get a little worse. My contacts are -6.5 in both I think...

One is -5.5 and the other is -5.something? They're pretty close in 'badness' now - for awhile, one was way worse than the other, but now the one eye has slowed in degenerating - guess that's good.

My glasses lenses aren't thick at all - unless you're REALLY blind, these days, they do a good job of making them not look like coke bottle glasses. I have cute rectangular brownish plastic frames with a little bit of red in them (hard to describe, but they're cute and give me sort of a Tina Fey look).

Romance is part of "getting it on"?

To quote the great lyricist, 50 Cent:

"I'm into havin' sex, I ain't into makin' love..."

Hey nothing says romance like "Oh, wait...stop, I have a nosebleed." 

Totally understand.  Still sounds like it will be some good R&R.

Holy carp! Though, in another 10 years, I'll probably be pretty close! I don't care what they say about reading, etc not really damaging your eyes. My vision got WAY worse in grad school - I was already blind, but my prescription went up, it seemed.

No, I haven't.  I was only in for a day and a half on a business trip.   But I can imagine how nice it is.

Well, I do believe I am out for the day.  Don't get another TAN pulled before I get back, if you can avoid it.

And now I'm off...to spread my own variety of negativity to the good people of Central Iowa (don't worry, JDW or Cami, I won't make it as far as Des Moines).  Maybe this feeling will wear off by the time I get to my first stop in an hour or so. 

crowny2 - 2008-07-17 10:18 AM I have 20/15 vision. 

GFY

I'd get Lasik, but I don't trust that in 20 years, my eyeballs aren't going to shrivel up and fall out of my head or something. Not enough long term studies on this.

That's because you are the spawn of Satan...
