On the home front, my kitties and dog and bird were happy to see me.

And, my sight is starting to cloud again. I had cataracts done a couple of years ago. So I was thinking they were growing back.

A quick google tells me that is impossible. What actually happens in a small percentage of people is that clouding occurs in the lens capsule and this can be corrected (according to the internet) so I'll obviously have to wait and get the scoop from my doctor.

I've missed 2 or 3 appointments, first because of being out of town and second because of the virus. So must get back there.

Good I'll probably soon have an MSR, but depending on when an appointment is available, maybe not soon enough.

Procedure is probably laser - I'm self diagnosing now. But, better to have some prep rather than be surprised and anxious.

Yes, my DH had cataract surgery done and he had to have laser again a few years later in one eye. The doctor said that sometimes can happen. Quick procedure done in office.

Thank you for replying. Right now any interaction is concerning.

You’re welcome and I understand. He has had some other eye issues not related and said this was a very minor thing to have taken care of compared to retina issues.

Tomorrow is Friday, not Saturday. Tomorrow, July 3 is Friday, not Saturday. Tomorrow is trash day because it's Friday but you do get to sleep in and not work. Today is Thursday, you watched the bold type which is new on Thursday's.

Again, tomorrow is Friday.

In case anyone else is struggling with this. Also pretty sure I'll still have to tell myself in 2 hours that it's Friday tomorrow

I went to the dentist and the eye dr last week and was more comfortable at both of those places than I am in a store. My only issue at the eye dr was I had to pull the mask down below my nose because I kept fogging the lenses up when he was flipping between things, you know the is 1 better or 2...

What bummed me out was nothing had changed, so the headaches and tiredness I've been having isn't because my prescription changed, at least in my contacts. It did in my glasses, which I got back today. I normally give my eyes 1 day a week break but with having to wear a mask and since I've been running a lot on Sundays, I haven't been wearing my glasses. I need to do better at taking my contacts out early and wearing my glasses on a day(s) I know I won't be running or needing a mask to see if it helps.

Yes, I keep forgetting what day it is. And I work and it’s not remotely so it should be easier to remember, but it’s not. I work on the weekends so I keep telling myself that’s why my days are mixed up.

Glad the appointments went well for you. Sorry you still aren’t feeling up to par. I hope you feel better soon!

Good morning experts! Can you all settle a bet for me please?
My friend insists that all Chase cards are offering 5x points on groceries now. He says that his SW Chase cards are offering that deal.
I have 2 SW Chase cards and can find nothing of the sort. My CSP and CF are offering 5x points for groceries though.
Is my friend correct?

I have no idea what day it is anymore. With not working and then my DH always home working - every day just runs together. The other day we had a 5 minute argument about what day of the week it was... sad but true, lol.

I have to laugh at this because it is totally me right now. On Tuesday night I took my nightly pill (the kind that come packaged with a day over each window) before I brushed my teeth. When I was done brushing my teeth, I couldn’t remember if I took my pill. So I opened the pack and saw that Wednesday’s pill was still in there. So I figured I must not have taken the pill, because of course I now thought it was Wednesday. So I took Wednesday’s pill. About 30 minutes later as I was trying to fall asleep (you know that time when your brain thinks about all the things you forgot to do) I realized it was Tuesday and I just took two pills in a 5 minute window. Thankfully, it won’t hurt me. But, yes, I’m struggling with knowing what day it is.

Disney finally emailed me back after two weeks or so of me sending in an email. They said anyone who bought APs from a third party will be receiving a check refund if they requested one. That makes me really happy since sam’s club wasn’t offering any kind of refund

have they given anyone the actual amount they'll refund,or is it different for each person?

Good morning from VGF DISchurner peeps!

I am excited to report that PlanePrincess and I each finally have the Hyatt card in our Chase arsenal! A support link was used and the corresponding DISer has been notified. It’s been a long time coming to go from LOL/24 and under 5/24. We did take advantage of the situation and added a CIP for some more UR points merely days before Chase started tightening things up. We initially thought about being the DP for another business SP app but decided against that. Cancelling Ashford Castle and getting back over 270k UR points with no immediate travel plans in sight pretty much cinched it. We find ourselves in the unique position of not having umpteen trips on the horizon. This has us slowing our roll and not heading immediately towards LOL/24 again.

We should be back under 5/24 in the fall and will go for a final Chase card. Earlier this year we upgraded the Chase Boundless BonBlah card, which we’ve held for years, to a Ritz Carlton. So we will be churning the Chase BonBlah. The Amex Brilliant BonBlah will be downgraded and the Amex biz BonBlah which we’ve also had for years back when it was the SPG biz has been cancelled.

This will finalize my reorganization of BonBlah cards, structuring our Chase Quinfecta UR cards and portfolio of hotel cards almost exactly to my ultimate goal. The only thing missing is an upgrade offer from our no fee Hilton cards to a second Aspire card for each of us. To be honest, I’m kinda glad it hasn’t happened yet and I’m not calling in for an upgrade offer either. Right now I need another FN cert with a $450 fee like I need a hole in the head. Well, that’s my churning news for this week. Hope everyone is doing well!

I'm not sure if you have a headache from new glasses? My (wonderful) eye doc discovered that my eyes are so (ridiculously) sensitive to change,I can only tolerate one BRAND of eyeglass lens without getting a headache... In case this might be helpful info for you My insurance was auto choosing one brand over another once when I got new lenses,and it took some detective work on her part to figure it out....

Nice..... for some strange reason I want hyatt card.... I have no idea why since I have no travel plans.... it's calling to me. I'm likely smarter to go for the BOA card with the cashback at this point.... I'll wait to see if Hyatt gets a better bonus (maybe)

 

[palhockeymomof2]

have they given anyone the actual amount they'll refund,or is it different for each person?

When I spoke to the AP pass holder line, they took my info and said I would be contacted via phone or email probably after the parks open

 

[hsmamato2]

Ok, I'm still waiting on my UR cruise refund...still haven't seen the points come back to my acct..... Now I'm struggling to recall how long it's been since I had that phone conversation.... argh. It's been at least 1 full cycle, maybe two.... anyone else have a DP on this?

 

[MarBee]

Still on the tipping subject, how much is the tip supposed to be now?
I have to admit that I generally still use the 15%, and then add a little extra.Mainly because 15% is easy to figure up in your head, where as 18% requires some figuring.

Not all cards offered the 5x and it ended 6/30..the new CF 5x categories are Amazon and Whole Foods

SW was 3x points during the promo.

Thank you both! Now to go rub it in that “I told you so” to my friend

 

[hsmamato2]

So I answered my own Amex question.... via chat, I asked to cancel Surpass,reason 'not traveling right now' they offered a PC to basic, so now I hold 2.
