Boricua Link ParentI think I get it now. Same thing happens to me when going from a very cold air-conditioned room to the outside world. So it's a lot less dangerous than I imagined. It's mostly annoying.I think I get it now. Same thing happens to me when going from a very cold air-conditioned room to the outside world.

Quick question:
How do you know if one pair suits you better than the other? I've always had difficulty with that and I end up asking for a second opinion because of it.

fog up terribly in cold weather.
Wait, that's a thing? I've never experienced it because I live in a tropical island. Couldn't that become really dangerous? Or is it more of an annoyance? I'd guess it depends on the situation.

Boricua Link ParentThat's basically my mother's philosophy for it. She doesn't like having things in her face so she only uses them when necessary. I, on the other hand, wear them all the time.

I, on the other hand, wear them all the time.
How often do you find it necessary to wear your glasses?

Boricua Link ParentWow! That's got to be annoying. Good thing you were able to get some lighter lenses. For how long did you use those thick lenses?no longer required to wear dumbbells on my face.

Are your lenses thick? I've read that it's a common complaint when it comes to strong prescriptions.

My first pair were dark blue and I loved the way they made me look (I still do).
while the interesting pair comes everywhere with me
What would you say makes that pair more interesting than the other one? Is it the color, the shape or both?

Boricua Link ParentI kind of get where you're coming from, but at the same time I don't. Maybe it's different for me because my rx, compared to others, is pretty low. Why do you want to ditch your frames? Do they...ditch the frames altogether

Do they get in the way a lot or is it something else you dislike about them? -

Boricua Link ParentI take biotech classes at my high school and the professor said the same thing when discussing lab safety. It was something about the contact lenses absorbing the chemicals. It also has to do that...contact lenses are worse if you get chemicals on your eyes
I take biotech classes at my high school and the professor said the same thing when discussing lab safety. It was something about the contact lenses absorbing the chemicals. It also has to do that if something gets spilled on your eyes, you won't be able to wash your eyes until you take them off. Those few seconds or minutes can make a huge difference depending on the chemical.

Do you wear glasses?
I'm nearsighted and I have a -1.25 rx. I don't need to wear them all the time, but I love it when everything is well defined.

Edit: I now remembered that around mid August there was a news report that informed that 100% of the island had power. I can't find it, but I remember watching it.

Boricua Link ParentIt seems the odds are in his favor. Let's hope the doctors find a way to help him. I imagine that would make him feel really happy. Especially with how close you two are.a ton of doctors working in his side

I also have been thinking it's probably time I did a surprise visit up there just to make sure all is well.

list it separately from the US
I feel that, even though its technically part of the US, you should list it separately. Mostly because the language and culture difference is pretty drastic. In the end, it's up to you.

Boricua LinkI'm from Puerto Rico! I haven't seen anyone else mention the island , so I'm likely one of the few puertoricans here.I'm from Puerto Rico! I haven't seen anyone else mention the island , so I'm likely one of the few puertoricans here.
I love reguetón. Even though its not the most complex or family friendly at times. They're just great for singing along and dancing.
This week I've been listening to:
Tanta falta by Bryant Myers
Bryant Myers is usually a trap artist so it genuinely surprised me when I found this track. It's about Bryant missing someone both physically and emotionally and how he doesn't want anyone else except the person he's misses. The chorus is a bit more graphic than the rest of the song, but it isn't really that bad.
¿Cuál es tu plan? by Bad Bunny, ft. PJ Sin Suela and Ñejo
Similarly to Bryant, Bad Bunny is a trap artist, but recently he has been dropping tracks such as this one that are reguetón. This track is a bit NSFW. The chorus just speaks for itself:
"What is your plan?
When you want to just tell me and we'll leave this place.
Nobody has to find out that I put it in.
But baby, what is your plan?"
But the song is worth a listen.
Mia by Bad Bunny and Drake
It's just worth a listen.
Bad Bunny and Drake are singing about how a girl is theirs (romantically). The song is a bit graphic because of the last line of the chorus, but honestly its not that bad.
The chorus gives a general idea:
"Tell them that you're mine, mine
You know that you're mine, mine.
You said it yourself.
While I was doing you"
