I just want to give you a great big hug.
You know who deserves a great big hug? The waitress at Denny's. She helped keep me calm. I don't even remember what time it was because I didn't have my phone. I was the only patron there at the time.

This isn't the first time I've been in a situation that wasn't... favorable... for lack of a better word... and I know panicking and freaking the fuck out doesn't help anything.
 
I'm glad you're safe Kuro, and that local LEOs were on it!
Word

I'm not even exaggerating when I say it felt like a nightmare. I've told friends many times before that losing my glasses and not being able to see is one thing I'm incredibly scared of. That's what happened last night.

At home if I knock my glasses off my nightstand, whatever... happens sometimes if I'm marathoning a show and konk out at 3 AM, I can feel my way through my room to find them. Out on the street? That's a bit different.
 
I'm glad you are alright Kuro. I'd love to hear the story, but I respect your decision to not share.

My really horrific life experiences, I don't talk about much because they're so bizarre to the point of sounding unbelievable. I think that's what gave me peace and calmness because it was a really terrible situation but I know I've been through much fuckin worse than this.

Also, how was your birthday?
 
it’s so beautiful here with the changing colors on the deciduous trees. there are low hanging clouds on the mountains in some spots and the sun is setting. 😍

Kuro-thank goodness nothing got too out of control. I understand the feeling of helplessness and it is very anxiety provoking for me. I am so glad to hear that you kept your cool. Lots of practice I bet.
 
It seems the frigidaire gallery line of ovens are about 1/2" narrower (the slide-in part) than other manufacturers of the same size (the size is measured by the width of the door.) If my calculations are correct (and they rarely are), with a little sanding and grinding, i think i can shoe-horn one into place.
 
losing your glasses is very scary, I've taken to carrying contacts as spare glasses when I travel. I should probaly put a pair in the truck.
Throughout my life, I've changed between contacts and glasses. They are very different with correcting vision and I can't easily switch between them because it gives me vertigo. So, I'll be wearing glasses for 4-5 years and then I might have contacts for 4-5 years.

I was 8 years old when I first got contacts because of my karate training. Hard to do with glasses.
 
My lovely partner bought me a secret society membership at one of the local breweries in town. I get a growler and 20% off growler fills forever, plus a special bigger glass of beer (20 oz) each time instead of the regular 16. To me, the best part is the glass, it's just a much better glass for beer than the standard pint glass. It brings out the beauty, flavor, and aroma of the beer.

This sounds like a good birthday.
 
Yeah, plus it's just kind of cool to feel special. I've never been a part of something. I was always that dude on the outside, helping and providing, but not in the mix.

When my friend got married, I was the reverend. The rest of the groomsmen got matching flasks and took a bunch of photos together. I wasn't in them. But I was the one that legally married them. That's always been my role, watching others have fun and connect, but not being part of it.

Symbolically, it's just kind of cool. I walk in and they know me. They give me a special glass. I'm in the club now.
