I realise this is not perhaps to everyone's tastes, but I like it occasionally.......... & in extreme moderation.

1ml - Quite pleasant & a very "clean" high.

2ml - Questionable sanity.

3ml - Quest for oblivion

I currently have 100g of Incredible Bulk "leftovers" decarbing in the oven @120C, which will go into 900g of extra-virgin coconut oil for caps.

3Kg of unsalted butter also sitting in the oven to become ghee, which will also be infused for cooking.

Sometimes I wish I hadn't given-up smoking mid-2020, but I'm definitely glad I did & haven't looked back.

Edit: Forgot to mention that I also cleared about 20M2 of bracken & blackberries. 'Can't burn them off due to fire restrictions....:(

This place IS the BEST!!!! I've been buying glasses from them for years now, and saving a boatload of money. SUPER quality too. About 10% of the retail cost. Zenni Optical.
It would have been cheaper if I didn’t want contacts. For an eye exam and TWO pairs of glasses it only costs $69, but I also had an eye exam for contact lenses and ordered a few years of contact lenses

But if I only wanted to buy glasses instead of contacts, it would be $69 out the door for the eye exam and two pairs of glasses.

But do you mix it in grape juice like our OG Everclear, gangster pinny?

Where do you go to get the prescription to send to them?
Any eye doctor. The one difference is you need to have your PD (pupillary distance) measured to order online...or do it yourself like I did.

I paid over $500 for a pair that got chewed by my puppy I remember, then I switched to SamsClub and they were around $300-350 for a pair, and Zenni is around -$50 but far superior quality lenses. I can wear them for a year or even 2 and they are all still scratch free....and I usually get about middle of the row quality...there's a LOT of choices.

Yeah, I can’t get behind buying glasses online. I mean, I like to try them on. It’s not really about how they look, but more about how they feel.

If I’m gonna possibly be wearing something all day, I like to make sure I’m gonna be comfortable. And since I haven’t had a pair of glasses in 25 years, I figured trying them on in person was a good idea.

And yeah, how much is an eye exam where you’re at? My insurance doesn’t cover vision, but I thought two pairs of glasses AND an eye exam for $69 is a pretty good deal.

Maybe I’m an idiot?

I'm the same way when it comes to trying them on. There was this other place that I just saw. They send you 5 pair to try. I didn't look at prices though.

The prescription I got was from '13 and they where hesitant to right down the PD. They knew I was going online.

If I remember, they will give you a full refund if you don't like for any reason. And they come in different sizes of course. But you are correct, some are more comfy than others. I always buy 2 pair they are so cheap, but I guess I've been lucky as they have all been a good fit.

Yep, they don't like to give out the PD as they KNOW what you are doing with it. I see a specialist as I have cataracts, and he wanted an extra $50 to measure the PD. I said f*** that, measured it myself, and left him a scathing review on Google! Just got a letter from him actually, lol. Selling eyeglasses is their bread and butter that pays the rent, and probably every single employee and other expense. We have been getting robbed!!!!

I don’t want 5 pair to try.

I tried on at least 20 pairs, probably more, at the eye doctors...

Y’all do things your way. I needed an eye exam, and I didn’t wanna take my prescription and go online for hours trying to figure out where and what to buy. Then have a bunch of glasses shipped to me that I hate, and have to go through the ordering process all over again.

I guess my time is valuable to me.

I value my time. And wasting it is not very high on my list of priorities

The way I see it, for an hour of my time, I'm saving at least $300. But yes, the first order is a little work. Subsequent orders only take minutes though. I have bought at least 6 pair now, and saved a few thousand dollars.

Now you're just grumpy and sound exactly like me lol

It was my first time for me. And I even went with a totally different style. I did get the same old style also because it was $15 just in case. But for my first time I was satisfied. That's not always easy.....I can be a picky mf'er.
