Post Your Last Purchase XXVIII

[webslinger85]

Much needed new pair of glasses. They are exactly like a pair of Oakleys i fell in love with, but the Optician found these for me at half the price. Looooove them

As well, my first ever pair of prescription sunglasses, as my vision has become slightly worse, i felt like it was time to get a good pair of sunglasses

That is a very attractive looking dock; Twelve South have some lovely stuff; indeed, I wonder whether that would work well with iPods……

Anyway, please do let me know how you find it….

I have it in silver, it'll work with just about anything. The front (or back, can't remember which) slides forward and back to accommodate thicker devices or devices w/ various sized cases (even a phone in an Otterbox Defender). And there are three pieces included to adjust the height of the lightning cable (which will push it up further into a device or case). Just be aware - it works with YOUR lightning cable, it does NOT come with one.

Very happy with mine. It's metal, not plastic. Looks sharp w/ my black Plus on it.

After two years with no dock for either my iPhone or iPad mini I decided to get a twelvesouth HiRise in black.

It'll worth with all IOS devices with a Lightning connector.

Last thing to go on my card that wasn't food:

Last major purchase:

Got a simple point and shoot camera to go places my DSLR simply doesn't fit in well. Like long walking days and concerts where they aren't allowed. Or if I just want to pack light but take better pictures than my phone and have something with a zoom lens. The zoom and the larger sensor are the big pros over a phone camera, as good as they are now days.

Congrats! I had mine done a year ago. My vision was terrible before, but now I'm 20/15 in both eyes. I encourage everyone to get an eval. Best money I've ever spent

I got PRK done about two years ago, for free, on the Army's dime.

Also had it done about a year ago, my only regret is that I didn't do it much earlier!

Do you guys (possibly girls?) ever miss wearing glasses?

I like wearing glasses.. I just hate having to wear contacts in order to wear sunglasses. And I don't like prescription sunglasses, because then I have to carry both my glasses and sunglasses with me and it's a pain.

My last purchase was a few new tubes for my fat bike. I have a flat and figured I should have some spares:

I just found the most attractive mechanical pen ever. Just ordered the Retro 51 Hex-o-matic ballpoint pen in matte black.

While looking for a pen I also picked another rival from Germany - the rOtring Rapid PRO technical drawing pen in matte black.

can of compressed air

10 pk dvd-r

Vivitar 28-85mm f/2.8 lens

Bought this lens for only $5 at a local shop. It has the same mount as my Pentax K1000, so I can't wait to shoot with this lens.

Just bought this for my desktop pc. I have decided to invest in an SSD for the first time

my latest purchase

32GB Space Grey iPhone 5s

 

[t0rr3s]

In addition to my 01 - 05.

 

[ninn]

how was the actual procedure though ? I keep hearing its rough .. meaning anxiety wise. I can't even put contacts in lol.

I'm like that too. Years ago, I really wanted contacts but couldn't put them in. My surgeon gave me ativan to take 30 minutes before the procedure and another one to take after I got home and then a nap. I remember waiting for the first pill to kick in and then I remember waking up and watching tv at home.

Do you guys (possibly girls?) ever miss wearing glasses?

Not me. I have always hated wearing glasses.


Here's my last purchase. 1986 head and 1990's cabinet.

$5 for a f2.8 lens. That's a steal!

Will it work with a slim Spigen case?

It's fully adjustable for height and depth so it should work with 99% of cases.

 

[French iPod]

Soo excited to get this monster. (no pun intended lol).

Annd of course this.

Third monitor!

I've been taking Multivitamins for years, I'm not sure if it's a placebo or not but it really does give an energy boost and well-rounded in general.

I wear glasses, (and have done since I was a very small child). Actually, I find the idea of using and inserting contacts…..unsettling; thus, I have two pairs with me at all times, my standard glasses, and my sunglasses.

Almost twenty years ago, I decided to get prescription sunglasses, and merely carry them in either my briefcase, or a coat pocket (or occasionally a jacket breast pocket) all the time.

Now, I did find carrying spectacle cases a bit of a nuisance; thanks to recommendations members of this forum on other matters, (such a briefcases and so on) I was made aware of the existence of a few excellent US leather companies, specifically Saddleback and Colonel Littleton. (Thank you fellow MR members who recommended these companies).

While I succumbed and bought briefcases from both (very different styles, but both are excellent), Colonel Littleton also made lovely high quality soft leather spectacle cases, one of which I bought and now use daily for my glasses, and which has aged exquisitely in the year and a half since I bought it.
