Agree on too many options these days. This is lame but I don’t know how to turn on the streaming devices we have (Netflix, Prime, regular Apple TV, Disney etc). DH has showed me how before but I just don’t remember . So I only watch regular tv unless DH is home—and even with just regular tv, I am behind on my shows, lol.

Oh no! Lol. I’m mostly Netflix and HBO Now these days for streaming. No cable.

Welcome back, and good luck on the Invisalign. My sister did that for similar reasons as you and she found it worth it. (she had braces when she was younger but some of her teeth had moved over the years)

As for Star Wars you didn't miss much except I know you like some of the charms. I will let you know if any of my 3 do not work out for me

I wanted braces when I was younger but we did not have the money for it. I always said when I’m older I’ll get it! And then finally when I could afford it I put it off for way too long. I should have done it 10 years ago already lol Better late than never!

I saw the cute little charms! I think I would like to at least get 1. And I also like the Vader bear but it’s going for like $110 on eBay. I’ll keep watching for a deal.

 

[Syren]

Welcome back!!! Glad to hear you’re good and been good with the buying. I have a friend talking about getting Invisalign. Is it mostly for teeth straightening?

It can also help correct most bite issues as well. I think my treatment is so long to deal with my overbite. In about a week and a half I go for some attachments, they attach little tooth colored buttons to some teeth to help with movements. And I’ll also be getting elastics to wear in one side to help correct my bite. I have a feeling I’ll be super depressed for a few days after lol I admit the first 3 days with my trays really had me questioning my whole life hahaha I got over it so I’m hoping I can quickly adjust to the next phase. You really have to change your daily habits. I can no longer just snack whenever I want or drink a sip of coffee. Meal times have to be planned. A lot of people do say they end up losing some weight due to not snacking as much!

Yes, my sister totally missed just having a snack when she wanted. It would definitely reduce my calories! lol

 

[Syren]

A Big WELCOME BACK Syren. Really good to see you. Glad to hear you have been keeping busy and not buying bags, lol. Good for you that you are doing Invisalign for yourself (even though I am sure you already have a pretty smile ).

Awww thanks! I have been good lately lol I finally looked at the Coach site a few days ago and I’m not interested in many bags. Definitely some cute things but nothing that is really calling to me.

Coach sent me a text to check out the Star Wars collection which was a real slap to the face since I’m locked out. How rude lol

LOL The last day of my last tray lined up with a day I went out to a brewery so I was a rebel and just drank some beer with my trays in. I wasn’t worried about staining since I was switching them the next morning lol

We're the opposite in our family. DH doesn't know how to access the other options besides regular TV. My daughter gave me access to her Netflix account so I watch that when I run out of shows, but right now I've got plenty on regular TV. I never watch anything when it is broadcast. I record everything I want to watch and then watch it later, cutting out the commercials. I have Amazon Prime but I've never put it on our TV. I'm already overwhelmed with regular TV and Netflix even though there are some Amazon shows I'd like to watch.

I live with my mum and we havent turned the TV on in weeks. We are either reading books or Im looking for bags or my mother is embroidering.
We have Netflix but always seem to watch the same things over and over....which defeats the purpose of having it.

DH is a newshound so he watches TV all the time. He loves documentaries. I love fiction. I don't want to learn; I want to be entertained. I always do something while I'm watching TV - crossword puzzles or playing on my tablet. I used to knit or crochet. I haven't done that in awhile.

 

[Luvpurplepurses]

Hi everyone! Long time no purse!

I’m going back a few pages to try and at least catch up a little lol I’ve been pretty busy with work and life so haven’t had much time for purse stalking. But that means I haven’t bought anything! I’m still locked out of FOS so I’ve completely missed Star Wars which sucks but maybe I can score a few things I’ve found on eBay. I could try my outlet but they never have anything good anyway lol

I’ve been doing good with my workouts still which I’m pretty proud of And I also started Invisalign a few weeks back and that’s been so much fun let me tell ya lol My teeth were not terrible, most have questioned why I’m getting them. But I mostly hide my teeth when I smile since they’ve always bothered me so I don’t think people see the issues. It will be a long process at least 20 months. FUN!

Welcome back @Syren!!

I have a very large crossstitch UFO I have to finish...its 15 years old and all I need to do is the backstitch...but have lost the backstitch chart and its a two colour one.
Should finish it instead of looking for bags.

I am a lot like your DH I think (isn’t he less adventurous when it comes to food? If yes, that is like me, lol). I don’t watch live tv either — I record and watch later too. I forget if it’s on Netflix or A Prime but in the last 6 months, we watched old tv series like Deadwood, Justified, and almost done with The Wire. We also really enjoyed a Japanese series called “Midnight Diner” — we need the subtitles though since we don’t know the language.

That’s great that you are always reading. My DH often reads on his Kindle. But I haven’t read much in years, lol (I used to subscribe to a few magazines but I fell behind in them so stopped subscribing). DH always says that I should read more books instead of spending time on TPF (ggrrr!) or looking for purses. He actually wanted me to read the Marie Kondo book (slight hint there, lol).

Oh wow okay. Do you have to take them out everytime you eat or drink?

My guy friend, in his 30’s, recently had braces. Metals ones taboot. He had
to change his eating habits. Certain foods he couldn’t eat and other foods would get stuck and then be a pain to clean. He didn’t do Invisaline. Prolly cause he’s cheap. Lol. He could have afforded it.
