@EdH:

Scotomas…

migraine with visual aura, poor man @EdH  hope you have a good neurologist

PM me in case not

I've been getting them on and off for a few years - I think I've had maybe 5 in the last decade. I've logged them all but no uptick in frequency. My NHS GP thinks its nothing to worry about as they are so infrequent. Maybe I should go private to get them checked out properly tho, d'you think?

It sounds quite typical, and you don't have to worry. Difficult to do anything against the aura (the scotoma), for the headache you could try a triptane if ibuprofen doesn't work.

Yeah… I’m good with it. Enjoying the warmth and comfort of my IHJ-79 already. Having had a summer of exclusive sneaker usage, I’m also happy it is finally Wesco time.

@neph93 BTW, I thought of you while taking my outdoor shoes off which were soaked from rain and ice pellets.  Thinking about how nice it would be for heated floors and somewhere to sit down…

My metabolism used to be my superpower. Eat shit all day every day; lose weight. Now I’m in my early 30s and gain a stone if I dip a rich tea into me brew.

Figured I didn’t need an expensive denim jacket because it doesn’t get worn that hard like jeans.
Got wrangler in black. 40 dollars
Less than 1 month later it’s already broke . The snap button came off the right pocket and I don’t know where it went.

The other budget option is Levi’s which is made with stretch denim…

And I really hate the feel of this. It’s so thin and cheap feeling. Are there no decent black denim jackets for under 300 dollars??

@Jeanmoreau The buying/selling section of the forum is your friend and many deals can be found…

[jordanscollected]

There's some more entry level brands that should be higher quality than the wrangler, levis, etc.
@Jeanmoreau

I haven't owned this denim myself, but i have their t-shirts and sweats and they are pretty nice quality for the price.

3sixteen’s type III’s come in at 285USD. The truth is you get what you pay for though. For 150USD more you get a type III that will last a lifetime.
