I'm not a fan of dilation.<br /><br />Selfie apparently tanked ratings wise so I guess we shouldn't get too attached.

W...I'm due back at the eye doctor in December. What I like about this place is instead of the puff test they put this little instrument up to your eye and it does three little puffs that are so whisper-like I barely feel them. In five seconds both eyes are done. <br /><br />As for new shows, we watched Selfie too and thought it was pretty decent. Then we watched Scorpion and we both really liked that. Had some great dry humor in there and it's a very interesting cast of characters. Very good first episode. We like Blackish too--that's a funny show. dalbador1https://www.blogger.com/profile/09877799102438622117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-19555495285206964472014-10-01T15:03:52.939-04:002014-10-01T15:03:52.939-04:00Everything exam wise is covered on ours but I feel...Everything exam wise is covered on ours but I feel like they charge too much for frames. Our ins only overs $120-160 on frames depending on the brand and so much on the lenses. Mine are fine. Unless I break them, I probably won't be getting new ones anytime soon much to their dismay.<br /><br />We like Madam Secretary too. I've always loved Tea Leoni so I was definitely going to give it a chance. We have to watch Scorpion on the following weekend's rerun because it goes against Sleepy Hollow and The Voice. After the first episode's ending it basically lost us but we're giving them one more shot. Good luck to your teams!Anele @ Success Along the Weighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03986921867517926199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-51886118882710092072014-10-01T11:33:43.230-04:002014-10-01T11:33:43.230-04:00Fantastic!

T...I was at the eye doctor's earlier this year. The Eye "Poof" test is okay, just annoying. I was glad I didn't have to be dilated, or take the alternative test which costs $30 (but is well worth it to avoid the after-affects of dilation) this year. Evidently, anyway at my age, dilation is an every-other-year test. So I saved $30, and the whole appointment was only $10, thanks to my insurance. Then I took the results to a cut-rate eyeglass outlet, and got an attractive pair of glasses (first new pair in 3 years) for less than $100. Of course that was also WITH my insurance coverage, otherwise it would have been closer to $200.<br /><br />We caught Black-ish the other night and didn't think much of it. We like Madam Secretary with Tea Leoni, and also Skorpion (I think that's what it's called--about the smart group of young people working to solve crimes--hubs is all about the crime procedurals). With all the sports on right now, haven't had a chance to catch up on the DVR'd stuff--hope to do that soon. On a positive note--Both our KC Chiefs and KC Royals won this week, and that is unusual and wonderful!!! I call them OUR KC teams, even though we are 200 miles from Kansas City, it's the closest city with professional teams. In between, we are busy rooting for the Nebraska Cornhuskers!

Their regular stuff is a little too modern for me and we also had a horrible experience with one of their bedroom sets but for birch logs and tea towels, I'm down.<br /><br />Yep when we need some variety, we pull out the old school stuff. Funny though how you can still remember every move 2 seconds before it comes up.<br /><br />I think Yahoo saved Community and it's going to be their first streaming TV show.

Probably better for my wallet that way.<br /><br />Old School Tae Bo! I just may pull out the Billy Blanks. Wonder what he's doing now...commence time wasting Google search.<br /><br />I have been out of the TV loop and tend to not add any new shows. Just looking forward to new eps of already favorites like New Girl, The Mindy Project, Parks & Rec, Modern Family. Too bad Community is gone. ;-( I'm sure it will have a rebirth on Netflix or somewhere a la Arrested Development due to the massive cult following.tigalileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474678867513488001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-29241139668364477052014-10-01T09:02:54.664-04:002014-10-01T09:02:54.664-04:00Let's see... eye appointment last June.

My vision was awful and then I had lasik and now I'm super careful about getting checked every year.<br /><br />It's not a sedan, but I love my new-ish car - it's a 2012 Chevy Captiva and I'm really happy with it.<br /><br />My problem this year was not adding any more new shows to watch, I just don't have the time. I'm going to have to cut some from my existing list I think. I did accidentally end up watching Gotham before Sleepy Hollow and now I'll have to watch that one every week.

I had the weaker dilation done yesterday but he said since I don't wear contacts and my vision hasn't changed over the last 3 years that I can go every other year now. The Mr had the stronger dilation done and was in misery all day. I don't think they should do a strong dilation that lasts ALL day. That's just not good for you.<br /><br />I didn't know they carried pumpkin Joe Joe's! Hmm, might just have to give those a try. The Mr's work will be thrilled with the influx of cookies!

After having my eyes mildly dilated continuously as a child (they thought loosening the eye muscle as a child would prevent even worse vision as an adult - it didn't work), I refuse to have my eyes dilated annually. I'll do it every 3 years or so, but you don't hear eye doctors telling everyone they should go get their eyes dilated do you?? Only those of us with vision problems have to be tortured.<br />Have you tried the TJ Pumpkin flavored Joe Joes?? They were out at the TJ here, but will be getting more today. I tried the pumpkin flavored croutons at TJ which I originally thought were a bit over the top. They are actually delicious and were a great topping to butternut squash soup.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05581253958511238775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-9307275515655940152014-10-01T07:19:57.291-04:002014-10-01T07:19:57.291-04:00Yes it was.

Yes, they have certainly soured us on the brand and what sucks is there aren't any affordable cars that wow us out there since every sedan looks the same these days.
