Macular degeneration?

 

Oof, yeah kind of why I was asking

No one with the exception of my brother wears glasses, but not my cousins, aunts, uncles, mom, or dad

Yet on Stephanie's side, she does, her sister, her mom doesn't but needs to if she reads, etc..and many of her other relatives so Theo's got what a 50% chance

 

yeah I'm pretty sure that's it. Both of them can't drive at night anymore, my cousin has it worse and had to all but quit her career due to it but she's a little older than us.

I'm not sure if I'm confusing that with what a friend of mine has, he had a degenerative eye disease too but was able to have a corneal implant or something to help. Whatever it is my sister/cousin have there currently is no cure for. I want to say it starts with an S, I'm gonna ask my mom about it because my sister just learned she had it a couple years ago and it's a pretty sensitive topic with her

 

@Speedytech7 what they have is Stargardt disease

anyway one of these days I need to get the laser surgery done because this time of year my eyes get all fucked up from allergies, contacts won't stay in for shit. Hate wearing glasses when I'm driving and at work because the periphery isn't as clear as with contacts

 

i was -5.5 and LASIK got me perfect


1000pct worth it, being able to wear any pair of sunglasses is also a win

 

in the grand scheme of things it was only like $3k? for something I was spending $500~ a year on in terms of contacts/frames/prescription sunglasses

 

I do wonder what it must be like to wake up in the AM and actually be able to see clearly...haven't had that since I was like 5 years old lol. Well, except for the handful of times I've fallen asleep with my contacts in by accident but that usually makes for a very uncomfortable experience

 

yeah it seems like it's getting more affordable. Still pricey but not like it used to be.

maybe I'll head down to Venezuela and get it done for cheap, come back missing a kidney

 

Fucking a..thought I heard a car revving up and down last night

Neighbor just messaged me and sent me two videos, last night and this morning

Seems we got an M3 thinking he's cool

Last dude that did that were the new neighbors around the block with their new Hellcat; cops got on his ass quick (we have cops as neighbors and shit)

And I hate to be that guy but out here...it's always the same fucking group of people

 

guys with obnoxiously loud vehicles at 3am in a quiet neighborhood be like

 

The way they live too, it'll be like a full family or three in one house (even though they own multiple houses)

Bunch of Teslas naturally, AMG's, GT350, Hellcats and now an M3

 

I mean, my lady killed an elk at 750 a couple years ago, some people regular poke out to 1000 or more but I'm not into that. 3-400 is good enough for me haha
Probably gonna buy a Maven when the ring comes

I wanna get a thermal scope for coyotes too but those are $$$$

also, sooo disappointing to get rejected for something I didn't apply for

 

My neighborhood is always loud, I like it TBH. It's the freedom to do whatever at whenever in the shop with the door open. I can sleep through a symphony of car exhausts and domestic violence anyway.

 

Music?

Bro, you need

 

That was me before kids, now I'm the grumpy old man shaking my fist at the window at 8pm when someone's brakes squeal

 

ISO Jack Black

 

The fuck lol. Did someone steal your identity to try and get into a music school

 

He's running 30+ on a 5mph road where kids play on the other side

Loud, I'm plenty loud myself here

 

They sent another email saying they made a mistake. I was accepted into their engineering program a couple months ago
