Take a “spicy pic” from Google Photos and order it on a large canvas sent to your exes home and their job.

Long ago an ex-boyfriend walked into my condo unannounced and refused to leave.
He stated he would leave at his leisure, and I believe short stature told him that he would leave now!
He poured his beverage on my carpet, and this is when I got the fire extinguisher from under the kitchen sink and blasted his ass out of my place, it worked beautifully as he was stunned

I don’t hold grudges, as it’s not healthy; however, as a lifetime prankster, I can’t resist a little petty revenge pranks for fun. 😉 I just simply enjoy making mischief, even when not warranted, especially on family and friends. For example, when my daughter was finally moving out after college, she kept bringing me her dirty laundry. I told her to do it herself, but she always had an excuse. So I decided to have some fun and turn the washer onto HOT. Then I dried her clothes on HIGH for a loooonnng time. Giggle. Her size 6 blouses fit like size 2’s. lololol. It was hilarious when she tried them on. 😉 She ended up taking half of my clothes. Lol We wear the same size in clothes and shoes. So all is good.
Another time when I was a teenager, my godmother Beverly would not let me drive her sacred, sexy, red 1969 Galaxy convertible to the prom. I was furious, as she shared her clothes and shoes with me all of my life. We were very close. This called for a little petty revenge on my lovely godmother. I remember Beverly mentioning on summer day as we were hanging out by her pool that she just purchased her first set of radials for the Galaxy. And they were very expensive, as it was the mid-1970’s. My sophomoric mind sizzled with delight, and my hazel eyes winkled at the thoughts of the Galaxy sitting on four flat tires. The next Monday morning, Beverly walked out for work in her skirt and stilettos only to find her sacred ride sitting on its rims. What makes the deed better is that I was wearing Beverly’s favorite blouse, her favorite jeans that I turned into cut-offs and her favorite sneakers without socks. Giggle. I owned her. lol.
Thanks,

Sight is critical to making sense of and connecting with the world around you. Unfortunately, more than 2.2 billion people worldwide experience vision impairment from conditions like refractive errors, cataracts, and glaucoma. As these eye conditions lead to financial burdens and poor quality of life, eye care strategies must move beyond individual responsibility and public health action.
The eyewear industry must take on the pivotal role of innovating and revolutionising eyeglasses, sunglasses, and contact lenses for better vision care. Indeed, over the years, we’ve seen glasses with lights, glasses with pockets and most recently, glasses that connect to the internet.
The innovation in eyewear never stops, and with this in mind, here are the exciting advancements in lens research and technology—with the potential to help people around the world improve their eyesight and overall well-being.
Self-moisturising contacts to prevent dry eye
Since their first introduction into the market in the 1990s, disposable contact lenses have become affordable and reliable eye care for refractive errors. However, regular contact wearers typically encounter symptoms of dry eyes, as the lenses can soak up natural tears and partially limit oxygen flow to the eye.
While it’s common to use eye drops, gels, or lubricants to rehydrate the eyes, a research team from the Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation (TIBI) has developed a contact lens prototype that integrates smooth microchannels to facilitate tear flow and movement. Further tests involving animals and patients are still necessary, but this prototype already offers a potential solution for combatting dry eye syndrome since the microchannels’ mechanism of action is through normal eye blinking.
Blue light protection
The dangers of blue light are becoming more apparent as people increasingly work on computer screens. That’s led to a rise in blue light glasses, designed to protect your eyes from the potentially harmful effects of blue light emitted by digital screens, LED lighting, and the sun. These glasses are equipped with lenses that feature a coating to filter out a portion of the high-energy blue light, which has been linked to digital eye strain, disrupted sleep patterns, and retinal damage.
Blue light lenses work by employing that special coating that selectively blocks or absorbs blue light while allowing other visible light to pass through. This coating can be added to prescription eyeglasses, reading glasses, or even non-prescription eyewear. By reducing the amount of blue light entering your eyes, these lenses help alleviate eye strain, improve visual comfort during prolonged screen use, and minimise the potential for long-term eye damage.
Myopia control through diffusion optics
Myopia is caused by a form of retinal detachment that interferes with the ability to focus on objects from a distance but can, fortunately, be corrected by eyeglasses. One significant advancement in the realm of myopia control through spectacles, then, is diffusion optics technology (DOT).
DOT integrates thousands of light-scattering elements to reduce contrast on the retina, thus preventing or slowing the progression of myopia among children. In partnership with Nikon Lenswear, SightGlass Vision is releasing spectacles with DOT, characterised by a clear aperture in the middle of the lenses. These spectacle lenses are currently available in China, the Netherlands, and Israel, as well as via preliminary market trials elsewhere.
Smart contact lenses for drug delivery
When talking about smart eyewear, most people usually think about hands-free smart glasses enabled by voice control. But contact lenses are also coming out with smart features, one of which is ocular drug delivery through a double-layered surface.
The first layer has small, sandwich-like sensors to detect a change in fluid pressures in the eyes, which then signals the automatic delivery of the drug from the second hydrogel layer to the cornea. Since it is minimally invasive and responds to various pressure changes throughout the day, this technology can be used to treat glaucoma patients with drugs like brimonidine.
While some of these ideas are yet to be available globally, they signify positive changes in lens development and the larger eyewear industry. With hopes of continuing to make lenses and, by extension, eyewear more innovative and accessible, changing vision needs among populations can better be addressed and remedied.
