Early June I went online to the site with my downloaded prescription from my eye Dr. office. I logged in and fed the 1800-Contacts site the new script. I got a message saying they had to check it with my eye Dr.

The prescription had changed. Previously I had been 4.0 in both eyes and was now 4.5 in the left eye, but still 4.0 in the right eye. About a day later I get a message saying my prescription is verified and I can place my order. So, I go in and place my order for two boxes of each eye.

They send me four boxes of 4.5.

So, I logged in today and I can’t find any evidence of my current prescription. The most recent prescription I can see that they have in file is from 2022, back when I was 4.0 in both eyes.

So I get on the chat and they try to tell me that they went off my most recent prescription, which was still valid. Which if they did they would have sent me four 4.0, not four 4.5. Also, last I checked my 2022 prescription would not still be valid as of 2026. Then they said their warehouse just made a mistake.

They are going to expedite my correct contacts to me and I have to use an emailed label to send back the wrong stuff. Frankly, I’m not even sure what all they are sending me except that there will be 4.0 in there and I’ll just keep two of the 4.5 for my left eye.

For anyone looking to use them, they are not being careful and you may find the lower price comes with extra hassle. I know, first world problems, but I wasn’t planning on going out all 4th of July weekend in my bedtime glasses.

I have a 10 week old Frenglish puppy and I was looking online at stroller options for him, but I’m feeling conflicted over the entire notion of putting a dog in a stroller.

On one hand, he’s a dog who will presumably do dog things if he’s treated like a dog. He should be out sniffing the ground and walking. Using his nose to understand the world at ground level is important for development.

On the other hand, he has a flat face and could overheat easily during the summer and he is also small and would struggle to keep up for any length of time walking around. Or get stepped on when we are out places. Plus being up higher means he has more people-level visibility, and they love people.

If I was to get a stroller for situational use, what situations? Because I could see myself becoming stroller dependent with him pretty easily, since he’d be contained and it would just be easy.

Let me run a scenario by you guys and see if it is hopeless or if there is an avenue: My veteran is 100% T&P. He came back from his last tour in about 2007 (I think, but I can clarify with him.) Due to timing and certain rule changes, he had a time limit from when he started using his GI Bill to when it would expire.

After he came back he started a semester in college while having no idea he had TBI. Between the pressures of life as a young father and inability to concentrate, presumably due to the TBI, he never completed that semester. Unfortunately, that started his “clock” on his GI Bill.

He got his 100% which includes the TBI the VA acknowledges is service-connected a few years ago. He’s been doing great, those kids are adults, and he’d like to school but we really don’t have the money. Is there any hope in fighting to get his GI Bill back?
