Just one quick bitch, part two

[Yuri Bezmenov]

I'm leaning towards Nitto Invos now even though they're not speed rated high enough.
Anyway my car is off the road till I get them as it appears the shoulder wear is more frightful than I thought. I'm actually embarrassed at this point lol.

What's more important is treadwear ratings. You don't want to fork out a lot of money for some gooey gumball tires that have excellent grip but wear out in no time flat.

Get a set of tires that have good combination of traction and wear rates. It doesn't hurt if they can handle the occasional rain storm as well.

Also, you need to get your alignment fixed too, it sounds like you have a camber issue.  Camber improves cornering at the cost of highly accelerated wear rates. High camber angles only work with race cars that replace their tires on a weekly or monthly basis.  Unless you have a tire budget of $500 a month, high camber angles aren't worth the cost.

Yes I know! My camber on the front is way off for some unknown reason. I do hope it's adjustable

You're looking at Michi and Conti sort of money if you want the best of both worlds here $500-600+ per corner for that sort of bloody stuff!
A wear rating of around 300 is probably the best I can get within budget. My current ones were only rated 260. Pirellis and Nittos 220

Tired all the fucking time.





Ok not all. But it feels like it sometimes.

You seem to get an awfully high rate of eye infections odeon, have you looked into what might predispose you to them at all? might be worth asking your GP to check it out, given quite how often you seem to have eye infections as a cause for bitching about.

once the cub starts sleeping through the night and starts walking then you'll get a bit of a respite.  He'll tire himself out during the day time.

Okay maybe I'm misunderstanding about how breastfeeding works... I thought as long as you were doing that, you couldn't let them sleep through the night because too much milk would accumulate and you'd start to lose your supply. He'd probably sleep most of the night if I didn't wake him up to feed.

I think the doctors just go by if they are gaining weight but I think you might be right. I dealt with a preemie...so mine didn't sleep though the night regardless until he hit a year old.

[Pyraxis]

Mine's already on formula supplements because he wasn't gaining enough weight with breastmilk alone.

Lost mine just before he came home, then it took about 3 formulas before we hit on a good one. He gained and I kept losing...until my hair started falling out in the shower.

Make sure to take care of you while you take care of him too Py.

Already did that. The basic problem is the sheer number of surgeries I've had on that eye.

[Lestat]

Surgeries, for what? eye injuries fucking suck arse. Nearly had one of mine melted out of my face by boiling hot corrosive alkalis that were highly water-reactive, but believed to be something else, after fucking pigs in an illegal raid on the house tampered with a bottle and removed a label. Got hit in the face after the bottle exploded violently and fired a jet of superheated caustic, corrosive viciously strong mixed alkaline wastes, including alkali metal amides and alkoxides straight through a hole punched through/partly melted through the bottle cap due to the intense heat and rapid evolution of a fuckton of ammonia pressure.

Was unbelievably fucking painful, ended up having to go to regular eye specialist hospital outpatient followup examinations for months afterwards, after the initial ambulance trip. Apparently came within ten seconds or so of being blinded permanently, or possibly even actually losing the eyeball altogether, but got off 'lightly' with 'only' having my cornea seared off a large patch of the front of the eyeball that was hit, I was really lucky that I managed to react so quickly, in getting to the tap and using my fingers to force the eye open so I could irrigate it for ages with a strong flow of cold water, while it was spasming due to the pain, forcing the eye closed and with the instant combination of searing agony and swelling I had to use both hands just to get the eyelids open to get the water to it.

Cleaned it out thoroughly, added a local anaesthetic after the washout, whilst calling the ambulance. Did however, given the other eye was unaffected, manage to both finish the actual chemical synthesis I had been working on at the time of the accident, during which the stream of corrosive steaming shit, actually gritty with bits of caustic soda and caustic potash, could feel them under my eyelids, had hit my goggles at an upward angle that knocked them up over my eyes, exposing the eye itself, like white hot sand under my eyelids, burning all the fucking way, but with the help of the local anaesthetic, managed to bear dimmed lights just long enough to finish the itself, volatile, corrosive cryogenic section of the synthesis I had been doing, pack up and stash the glassware so the ambulance crew wouldn't assume I'd been 'up to no good' and start with any judgemental crap, didn't do the workup for quite some time, couldn't bear light for a long time after, but the cryogenic, corrosive phase was reacted, stripped and neutralized, the glass setup broken down for storage behind a fridge temporarily and the workup to recover the product worked on at the time was left for when I could bear dim light again at night, rather than having to stay wearing an eyepatch and covering my head, with the lights off on a shitload of additional painkillers (oxy), which I'm still on, although I don't need the eye patch anymore though.

Eye wounds are the fucking pits. I've never had a bollock blown, burnt, shot off or parked on with a truck tyre, but short of that, I can't imagine anything more painful.

The eye surgeries were to correct strabismus - both eyes, actually. The first two or three surgeries were performed when I was a kid and the techniques used were still undeveloped. My first surgery was among the first in Finland.

A couple of years ago, my ophthalmologist discovered that one of the lateral muscles was nearly torn off, requiring additional rounds of surgery. It's fixed now but there was scarring that had to be removed, too, leaving the surface uneven and prone to infections.

Do you still have AV Syndrome? I do - the V - but I've noticed the my left eye is gradually moving outwards at the bottom of the V.

My chiropractor asked questions about it, like why don't I see an ophthalmologist. Well I would but I need a certain thing called money. I really hope to get a job by the end of the year, that way I can get this sort of stuff sorted out.

I hope your eye infection goes away quickly, odeon.

[Lestat]

I'd have been damn wary about anyone poking around with sharp things in my eyesockets when they are finding out what works and what doesn't! bugger that, I'd want other people to go through it first to find out if its safe, and so someone can get some experience doing the procedure first, before I'd volunteer my eyes under the surgeon's knife for something like that!

I really hadn't noticed anything about your eyes, Ren, other than that I think they are really pretty
Well, and that hawt autie death stare of course. I think your eyes are one of the nicest of a nice set of features, physically speaking, your face has to offer Ren.
