Very safe option and I am too shy to show my chest lol

No eye candy for us?

 

[Lilianna23]

Ok. Quick medical question anti-VEGF Injections. Dangerous or no?
Asking for a friend...

The American Academy of Opthomology has a great article on this:
https://www.aao.org/eye-health/drugs/anti-vegf-treatments

Basically they're used to slow down or stop the formation of new blood vessels in the eye. Can be helpful for those with macular degeneration, diabetes, and a few other conditions. It can slow down vision loss or even improve it.

I would recommend the individual have a good, candid conversation with their ophthalmologist about risks and benefits. If it's a choice between slowly losing vision or maybe improving it, I would do it.

I have cataracts

I didn't think this works on cataracts. Why haven't you had them removed and lens implants put in?

@Oldermom935

My wife has a chronic illness
It's rare and not well known...and will not have a good outcome in the long run.
I don't like to talk about it. I'm surprised I even mentioned it here. I'm not looking for sympathy, just a FYI for you.

Sorry to hear this, RJ.

If the clientele is 50+ then why be open all night? I’m ready to be in bed by ten these days lol

Maybe you're not sure how the internet works?

We have members here from multiple times zones. When it's nighttime in most of the US, Europe is waking up.

Also, you're new here.
Welcome!

We run this thread a little differently.

Read the first post...goes over the "rules" so to speak.

I will summarize:
1. No religion
2. No politics
3. No drama
4. No hitting on the women-- dm the person if interested.... if they don't respond.... there is your answer.

I will add
5. For God sake read a profile before you dm the wrong person.
6. If your first post is heavy on the innuendo ..... you need to slow your roll

This thread is like the bar cheers or the corner coffee shop. We are FRIENDS here and not like other threads...we are fiercely protective of the vibe and each other. If this sounds like a place you would like, stick around.... if not there are eleventy billion other threads that will suit your needs.

To get an idea of the vibe I would scroll through the last 10 pages or so and you will see.

I try and shoot for 9 but last night was twelve and then up again at three...

I hate it when I wake up just a couple of hours after I went to sleep.

 

[Lilianna23]

Hmm... valid and yet...
Wait a minute... doesn't your rig run 2 shifts (day & night)? What was your counterpart doing if it was your turn to sleep?

my first thought, too

Naked + Pool + Thunderstorm =
hope to see you tomorrow

fixed it

retired coworker's mom had shots for MAC-D. She had both wet and dry. I never got lots of details but don't recall anything negative. They helped to slow the progression. She was in her mid-80s at the time.

That engine's probably bigger than my entire car
similar type?:

Accessibility always ups the difficulty score. Well done being on top of that one.

I read that too fast... Anti-Veg not Anti-Vag
Bad Likes, no

Welcome, newcomers... I think we have a couple new faces in the café? Here's our standard greeting penned by our own Missk:

There looks to be some new folks in the group...

And now... I'm off for an hour of PT before winding down for the night.
Sweet Dreams all...

Thanks, Likes! I didn't read ahead and posted the rules also. I should have known you would be on it!

 

[Lilianna23]

Night all

I hope you had a great day!

That's a good place to learn also. Their veins are so fragile!

I doubt I could start one now. I haven't started an IV in over a decade.

Sheeeeeit.... I bet you can throw one like a dart and hit my vein!!!

Thanks for the coffee and smiles OM!

It's been oppressively hot here lately; today was over 90°! Tonight, the clouds rolled in to cool us off. When I took my trash bins out, I noticed an orange moon! This is not filtered!

Have you been overdoing the spray tan again?

 

[nipplecaresser]

Nah.... for my bday I want this fucking deck to be done

Awesome, you're having a special deck made for it!

 

[Oldermom935]

Guess you like your coffee

And thats a problem because?

The first ones I ran had data tags stamped 1977 and 1978.
A technician was onboard doing and annual inspection and I told him it was impressive they're still running...
He replied
"Oh hell no! That ones a 1953 and that one's a 1957, those tags are when they got a factory reman!"

That was in 2017.

I have a couple of good running flathead straight eights. One was built in 1946 and it's a 1934 design. The other is a 1947 model and it is a 1939 design. Keep oil in them and don't abuse them (too much) and they keep on ticking.

I had cataracts removed and see so much better.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Hmmm. Well..., maybe that. And/or a light fondle. But nothing more!

Okay, but be careful not to get ostracized from the Group Grope.
