Are you kidding me? I have to do more wood staining?! LOL. Good grief. Now he's decided that he will use up a few posts for another project and needs those stained LOL. It'll be quick, but dang, it's never ending ;)
Last year my eye doctor recommended some eye drops for me called Optase Intense. They are really great - their product container/bottle, not so much. The bottle is just too soft and when trying to squeeze drops out, it just collapses. I have a full bottle that I just started using and this is what it now looks like after trying to use it a few times
This makes it almost impossible to squeeze now and get drops out. It also seems like this bottle is worse than previous purchases. At least with my previous purchases the bottle did not start collapsing until it got about halfway down with the solution left inside. Then I'd end up wasting a lot of it, when it got down to about 1/4 left because there was just no way to squeeze it anymore. There's also no way to get the top off, to try some other method (eye dropper?) to get to the solution. This stuff is too expensive to not be able to use much of it. It's about $24 for this little bottle. I found Optase's website online and was able to send a complaint message. This stuff works great, but not with this bottle they put it in and I'm not spending that kind of money on it anymore and told them so. Every other eye drop I have ever purchased has a bottle that is firm and able to squeeze drops out and holds it shape and they should be able to make this usable.March 1st today. Spring will be springing now that we don't have much snow left. Of course it still will likely snow again, but it won't last long with the temps now. Also curious to see if we will be seeing some building start on the 2 lots next to us. I have talked to the guy that owns the 3rd (farthest from us) lot, but they are not starting until September. They will likely only be able to get site work and a foundation dug before it's too cold, so their house most likely won't be finished until mid 2026. But, potentially this summer/fall there could be 3 houses being built on our street. That would be crazy, LOL.
It's another blue sky sunny warm day on tap. I'd better enjoy and appreciate it, because starting tomorrow it gets cloudy and a little cooler again.
Tomorrow, mid morning, we are going to some friends house for some coffee and baked goods and a visit. Friend said they will have Mountain Dew for dh LOL. I think they are just trying to attempt to start inviting some folks, get to know each other better, get a better sense of "community" in the area (it sure needs it!). Maybe it will turn into something more regular and we can do a turn at hosting in the future. Anyway, it will be nice to get out of the house and enjoy some nice (and intelligent!) company.
That packaging is a big no. I hope the company is working on it because I'm sure you're not the only one to complain. It was 72 here yesterday now today the high is 35. I hate this back-and-forth time of year. Happy Saturday.
ReplyDeleteIt just makes no sense why the bottle is like this. We seem to have really short springs here. It'll still be cold and snow for another 6 weeks or so and then suddenly it will be hot days
DeleteI would be incensed with the performance of that bottle. Hope you get that settled.
ReplyDeleteMaybe meeting with new people will result in a friendship that thrives. We are in 70s and of course, no snow.
Do you know how many doses you get out of a bottle? Given the poor packaging, it might be more cost-effective to purchase single dosing. Plus, depending on how often you need to use the drops, single dosing containers can be better for product freshness.
ReplyDeleteI can't remember but I seem to recall is was like 200 or more drops. I hadn't even thought of seeing if they offer single doses packaging, and I see that do. That might be the way I have to go for when I need the benefit of these drops. Thanks for the idea
