Ah yeah the best season of the Floridian year has started!!!! HURRICANE SEASON! Who else is ready for hurricane Parties!! Tampa may start off with a bang with the pacific Hurricane Agatha may or may not turn into an Alex. <.< >.>

Ahem. Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

During the pandemic while trying to adhere to mask regulations for various stores, the strap on my mask caught my glasses in a way where the mask broke the earpiece off of one side of the glasses.

No problem. Some tape, some glue, and it held for quite a long time. Well, eventually that tape and glue adhesive melted and I haven't been able to get the earpiece to stay on. Ok, whatever, the glasses stay on my face. No problem, just be careful.

Took my glasses off casually last night and the other ear piece snapped off... They will still sit on my face, but if I tilt my head forward they easily fall off. Gotta get new glasses. *sigh* I wish I'd gone in on a back up pair, but this has never happened to me before.

Sticking to metal frames from now on. Not unbreakable, but at least I shouldn't be losing the dang ear pieces.

Ah yes, glasses. I've been dealing with them since I was 6 years old - a genetic problem of severe myopia I've had since birth - and they've always broken at the choicest moments for me. They'll withstand accidental whacks off the bed, somebody sitting on them... but they'll casually shatter mid-school lesson because they got lightly booped (happened to me when I was 15 years old). I'm quite literally blind without them so I suffer if I keep a pair for too long.

Hope you'll be alright.

I've had the same issue with plastic ones. Although I am trialling contact lenses soon, which I hope will be an improvement. Getting them out is apparently easy... still not too sold on how easy they are to put in, though.

The worst glasses I've ever had were rimless ones.

It‘s weird in the beginning, but you get used to it pretty fast. When I got mine I had a hard time „touching“ my eye (You don‘t really touch them directly, but you feel it nontheless) . I remember it taking about 15-20 mins to get them out the first time. It‘s not even a second to get them in and out now

I have a plastic frame that somehow endured me since 2016 now, which is a feat. Hope you'll get new ones easily Vyrerus, since a trip to the optician can be a real pain...

Ugh, the humid heat of summer begins again. And this area for whatever reason does not have a public pool, with the nearest one being on a military base 60 miles away. Apparently they want everybody to die of heat stroke or dehydration.

Sometimes I still wonder about my discord mates.

Damn, I didn't expect Johnny Depp to win his lawsuit at all.
I expected them both to lose tbh.

All it'd take is one person in the jury being all like '' nah, hashtag belieb all womenz ''.
That trial was wild tho.
There certainly was stuff that didn't make Johnny Depp look good, at the same time tho...
The context should be kept in mind that he had to live with a horrible and abusive person like that it's not too strange that he'd be pushed into having some bad moments.
Doesn't seem like he was like that at all in his past relationships either while Heard had issue with that and also just with people in general not liking her.

I think there is a lot of stuff in anyone's personal lives that could make them look bad if someone was recording them without their knowledge, and put on display for the world to see. Lashing out in anger at cupboards, having nasty arguments, or having substance abuse issues does not automatically mean that they physically abuse their partner. My grandfather would verbally abuse my grandmother day in and day out, I heard it all day everyday growing up, but he never hit her. He'd also put me down day in and day out, but he would always do that while yelling at her. On the other end, my parents both are drug addicts. When they lived together they would not only verbally abuse each other, they would hit each other too. Of course, however, when my dad had hit my mother it was more severe.

I won't get too detailed on my opinions on the case here, but I can definitely say I was also surprised at the outcome. I don't have much faith in the courts here in America. Maybe we will see him start doing movies again. Needless to say, I do support Johnny over her.
