There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice π.

As one ages, their eyesight gets worse. Lots of light helps. In the warm light I wouldn't be able to read anything, knit, do crosswords or a whole number of activities. I'd still need to sit on the end of the sofa with the lamp in the cool light one to do much. The real annoyance? I still have 20/20 vision but I feel that I can't see half of what I could when I was younger.
I carry a small flashlight in my purse just in case I'm at a restaurant with bad lighting and terrible contrast on the menu.
Thats insane, my vision is emphatically not 20/20 but since an eaye is nearsighted, i think it helps improve my low light reading somehow. I dunno, !RemindMe 10 years haha
