I read somewhere that the damage can take a long time to become apparent, but if she had appropriate eye protection on, then that probably isn't it.Yeah but with actual eclipse glasses and welding helmets! But that was weeks ago!
Just a Welding helmet? Because most welding helmets aren't a dark enough shade number... Which is unfortunate that most people who did that didn't know aboutYeah but with actual eclipse glasses and welding helmets! But that was weeks ago!
It was an industrial one at their work.Just a Welding helmet? Because most welding helmets aren't a dark enough shade number... Which is unfortunate that most people who did that didn't know about
"Industrial" doesn't really mean anything here. Welders helmets have different shade numbers that are used for different types of welding, and not all shades are appropriate for looking at an eclipse. Only shade 14 is safe.It was an industrial one at their work.
Should clarify- my dad owns an industrial pump repair company and they do a lot of welding. I don't know what shade exactly they used, but I know that my dad was planning and preparing for the eclipse for 4 months prior. I know he got the right stuff."Industrial" doesn't really mean anything here.

NASA website said shade 12 is the minimum but some people still find that shade too bright. Most welding helmets are 10 or 11, but if her dad was preparing for months, he more than likely ordered the correct shade for his helmets if that's not what they were already using."Industrial" doesn't really mean anything here.

Rather late, sorry, but I'm glad to hear that it sounds like she's doing ok!Got a message from my mom saying that she had to go to the ER this morning and just got out of surgery to repair a hole in her retina... so yeah...
It was a whoopsy that is now fixed from an update.They've changed how this looks on mobile for me again. I DONT LIKE CHANGE SDN!
WAIT WHAT IS/WAS CHANGEDThey've changed how this looks on mobile for me again. I DONT LIKE CHANGE SDN!
It's like they surprised someone with Windows 10.WAIT WHAT IS/WAS CHANGED
**** windows 10 and the forced updates. It keeps causing our radiology computer to crash and every update means that our PACS doesn't work againIt's like they surprised someone with Windows 10.
It was pretty nice that there was a tab to change the skin back to "normal" at the bottom of the page though
thank goodness, I could not handle SDN Blue 2017... was driving me nutsoIt was a whoopsy that is now fixed from an update.
I think I'm only one who actually prefers SDN Blue 2017 lol.thank goodness, I could not handle SDN Blue 2017... was driving me nutso
I saw pictures of that one- it looked really niceI miss the coffee theme.
^^^^^^yesI also preferred coffee. Now I use Blue 2017. 2013 is good too...sometimes 2017 is glitchy and I revert back to 2013. I like the way the alerts and inbox thing scrolls with the content in Blue 2017.
Unless I'm thinking of something else, some people are more prone to it than others. I had an eye exam this year and the Dr mentioned something like 'and I'm sure you know about this, but your left eye is prone to retinal detachment . . .' NOPE NO ONE EVER TOLD ME THIS. It only makes me like 1% more likely to get a tear, but it's possible. Maybe your mom had the same issue with her eye? It sounds like she had it addressed quickly and that's the most important thing. It's highly treatable as long as you have surgery right away, from what my Dr told me.
I'm glad she's doing well and enjoying California!
Same. I placate myself with SDN Night 2017I miss the coffee theme.
Were you able to see the cardiologist today?My 2 year old agility dog has had 2 vagal/syncopal episodes in the past 2 months. I'm legit freaking out here after the second one and the cardiologist isn't open until tomorrow. Pup is bright alert and her usual obnoxious self but my brain is focusing on the horrible things that could be causing this. It's probably nothing but a large part of me is convinced it's going to be a long term issue and now I can't relax because my brain won't stop.
Tapatalk was being unfriendly so no more app.I use SDN blue 2008.
What happened to my damn mobile app?
Echo scheduled for next Friday. Rads show possible right sided enlargement. Auscultation and blood pressure normal. Blood work and ACTH results should be back tomorrow. So I'm just going to freak out for the next 9 days. Ugh.Were you able to see the cardiologist today?
I keep all my digits crossed for her!Echo scheduled for next Friday. Rads show possible right sided enlargement. Auscultation and blood pressure normal. Blood work and ACTH results should be back tomorrow. So I'm just going to freak out for the next 9 days. Ugh.
Hey guys. I noticed we don't have a rant it here in the dental fourm, but it's better to rant here anyway lol
Hi! We are pretty welcoming to people from other forums over here (just as long as you don't question our silly
role playing games)
I thought I recognized their avatar!@Faefly - I <3 Fairy Tail!!
Thank you killerleaf. <3hugs...to you and your church family
No quotes please, will likely take this down soonish.
in all likelihood, no. We have cameras and all, but in a lot of cases like this it’s easier to just have insurance pay for repairs. The last thing we really want to do is further piss anyone off... I can only imagine that if the vandals were actually found and punished that they’d find retribution and it’d be a lot worse.I'm so sorry . Is it likely the vandals will be found?
thanks cowgirl92. It’s just really frustrating. My mom went up there yesterday and apparently it’s pretty bad.@cdoconn I'm so sorry!
