Same. If it wasn't true, why would they say it?

I am... Not smart lol.

Their cousin's dog was attacked by a horde of wild taco bells.

Hey look it's me with cockroaches! (It's fun sharing walls with households that have cockroaches. Sharing is caring.)

I like simpler items with fewer parts now.

So much this. Last time I brought it up, I was asked "what's the matter, you don't season your food?"

Uh... There are more seasonings than SALT, yo. You can add more of it, but once it's in there...

That's super cool! I knew a guy that would eat small ropes and pull it out his nose but... Wow that is next level. Thanks for sharing.

Honestly same.

That and I didn't want to buy solid oak furniture when I lived in apartments and had to move on a dime because the landlord wanted to jack up rent or pull something... Again.

When I was getting my diagnosis my doc asked me "did you do the assessment I sent you?"

Uh... I forgot and you first asked me when I didn't have a way to take a note. Sorry. :(

Definitely. It's best to know your own limits. (Akin to dropping something too heavy before hurting yourself.)

It's more likely than you think

That is definitely a thing.

A thought-terminating cliché (also known as a semantic stop-sign, a thought-stopper, bumper sticker logic, or cliché thinking) is a form of loaded language, often passing as folk wisdom, intended to end an argument and quell cognitive dissonance.

I have to prepare a little note card with bullet points on what I want to say/accomplish on my call. Bonus because I can also take any notes on the call if needed. It's helped me a lot, because a lot of my anxiety about calling comes from forgetting why I was calling in the first place.

The real LPT is in the comments.

When you take them off at night, don't put them lens down directly on furniture or anything like that. You will scratch them. You can either set them on a microfiber cloth face down, lay them the other way (lens up), or get a glasses stand if you're feeling fancy.

You could use your glasses holder, which is what I do when I travel, but I find that being able to access my glasses quickly is more valuable to me.

Also I get discount glasses from Zenni, Costco, or Eyeglass World. I never get just one pair because I am forgetful. If you can swing it, I would get at least one backup pair.

When you get a new prescription, you can keep one pair of the old glasses in case something happens to your current pair(s). (The plan being that you will not be completely screwed, you'll have a "close enough" pair until you can rectify the issue.) If you do that, store them in a case and label the case with the date you got that prescription. I would only keep at most one backup from your old pairs.

When I was on welfare, I got Medicaid. (Free health insurance from the government.) I chose the plan with no copays or deductibles. It was nice.

They had another plan where the copay was $3. I had it before I moved to the no copay plan. It's fine, but being on welfare at the time, every dollar counted.

Now I have my employer plan and my copays range from $15 - $50, depending on the type of appointment I see. I pay about $1k/month in premiums.

I'm in Kentucky, where you can buy alcohol without a membership. My local Costco has a separate entrance for the booze, no card needed.
