Ashbash Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Contacts are the worst. I really just can't do it. I can do it for a few days and then my eyes just hate me after that. Most people seem to have no problem with it and I think I'd rather just stick to not being able to see much or glasses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildbreeze Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I wore them for around 5 hours today before they started to bother me a bit. At this point, I don't really want to back out of using them. My parents paid for the exam and the first pair of contacts. These should last for a month... Then I can decide if I want to have more or not. I just find it really weird after 7 years of wearing glasses to be able to see my face without being super close to a mirror. Plus, having the correct prescription is lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I swear by contacts. I've worn them pretty much daily for the last 11-12 years. I do anything I can to avoid wearing glasses, since they usually give me headaches. I tried out contacts when I was 15 and just couldn't do it. My eyes burned, I couldn't even begin to try poking at my eyes. I gave up and tried again the next year and had none of the issues I previously had. I've been wearing them ever since. They aren't for everyone though. Some people can't wear them at all (My husband can't. His eyes are so sensitive, even an eyelash in his eye feels like a piece of glass) or others can't wear them comfortably without a bunch of trouble, like my sister that has to get more expensive types that allow a ton more oxygen that normal ones. There's also just getting used to them. Until 2 years ago, I only had to wear one contact, due to one eye that was near perfect vision and one that was terrible. I don't even feel the contact in that eye because I'm so used to it. When I finally started wearing one in my other eye, it drove me crazy for weeks because I could feel it in my eye since I wasn't used to it. Now, I don't feel either one. Sometimes if I worry I lost one, I actually have to go look for the faint line in the mirror to be sure. Wildbreeze 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runningbanana Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I absolutely love my contacts, i don't even own a pair of backup glasses (which is probably a bad idea). Other than when you accidentally get them inside out and you feel like your eye is being stabbed they're awesome. Most people don't take too long to get used to them, after about a month I barely even noticed that they were there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildbreeze Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Yeah, the contacts definitely don't bother me once I forget they're there. But when I remember, I can't help but blink and be bothered. xP Next week I'm going to get my wisdom teeth out. I'll be glad to be rid of them, but all the same... I'm a little bit freaked out. I've never been put under anesthetic or had any sort of surgery... New adventures, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duma Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Good luck with that Wildbreeze! I hope it will go easily and without after pains for you. New adventures for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashbash Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Ahh good luck Wildbreeze. I was supposed to get mine out about 6 years ago and have yet to manage to do it. Not so much out of fear but it's so difficult to find the time for it! Let me know how it goes! I've been around a lot of my friends after they've gone through it and they all seem to think it was nothing, so hopefully that's the case!

Wildbreeze Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I'm home from getting my teeth out, and thus far... it's not too bad. They had to try a few times to get the IV with the anesthetic in, but once it was in and they'd hooked it up... Everything got a bit blurry, and that's all I remember. :P They woke me up and I walked drunkenly to the car. At the moment I feel like a chipmunk--my face is numb and my cheeks are full of gauze. But I have a milkshake to eat with a spoon once the bleeding slows down, and I'm not in pain yet. I guess they were easy to take out--the doctor gave me my teeth, and they're all whole. If you feel like you need to have yours out, Biedazzle, I wouldn't worry about it. :) The doctors know what they're doing, and it's fairly quick and easy to get done.

Spritzie Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 That's great! I'm glad it went so well. My sister and I had ours removed forever ago, by the same doctor, but we had totally different experiences. Her's was super easy, mine was terrible, but I had a bad reaction to the anesthetic, where they had trouble getting me to wake up and I was super sick afterwards, probably from that.

Duma Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Hi SophieEA! Welcome to the "hang out and post" topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SophieEA Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Thanks! ^_^ I've always played Neo alone pretty much except the odd good friend I've made, so it's really strange to suddenly start using a forum like this...I don't connect with anyone on the Neoboards really.

Duma Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I was the same and still have some of that in me. That is why I want to get all the avatars by myself without lends. But it's nice to be able to help people and to talk to them/ask questions about things I couldn't figure out etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naamah D. Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I can't believe that I've been with my pets for this long. I've only put one pet in the pound, but that was really long ago. I truly love all of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SophieEA Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Argh, the game ratios have mostly gone rubbishy. :sad02: For me personally, anyway. I can still make a fair amount per day but it takes way, way longer. Anyone else having woes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 This month's ratios are a big disappointment compared with last month's. I haven't taken the time to revise my list of daily games yet, but I know I had to remove quite a lot that I had been playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombiiesque Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Yup, for someone like me the game ratios got really messed up as well. Oh well, I had a feeling it was coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
:)Doc Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I am having woes, because I keep taking hiatuses and then coming back randomly. Lol, I need to just stick with it. Hello again, all. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Hey Doc! :D Do we need to use duct tape to keep you here? For me, I'll have one good month with ratios, then the next is so-so, then good, then so-so. This past month was the best month I've had in ages.

Duma Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 And I just got a response from TNT about the not being able to log in on neopets with another nickelodeon account I wanted to use as side account :D I hope they'll be able to fix it so I can make more pets! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Valentine Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Weird how you can do that with other Nick World games, but other Nick World games can't do that with Neopets. Their system needs fixing :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duma Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Yup, and I hope it will get fixed now. *crosses fingers* I really want to use that username and I am waiting for almost a year now to get it fixed and to be able to create new pretty pets. :) Edit: I've received another reply on my ticket: A solution for your issue has been suggested. Yes, this is a known issue. Unfortunately for now we have no workaround to get those to work on Neopets. Sorry about that we hope we can get it resolved soon! I guess I won't be able to create my new pets yet :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
:)Doc Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 So like I was sitting down watching something today and then it kinda struck me- I am ready for the Altador Cup this year, already! :D Wildbreeze 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
