Nearly free glasses - pay for lenses and shipping.

[diethx]

I ordered a pair a few days ago from these guys. Just got them today and I looooove them. Lenses are inexpensive and so is shipping, and they have a LOT of awesome frames that you can get for free. Use code COASTALFREE2011 at checkout to get the frames free. Only one free pair per household so choose wisely. I know I had trouble choosing which to get!

Word.


Against my better judgement I'm going to write the following and tell you the truth about my life.

I'll start by saying that I'm a very private person. I grew up a Jehovahs Witness and unless you were part of the church you were considered to be a "worldly" person and a bad person. So growing up I had no friends because I was not allowed to play with anyone outside of the church.

When I became a teenager I found Gemstone and got hooked. It was an escape from a life that I didn't agree with. I was only allowed to play for an hour here or there and spent most of my time being a twat dragging bodies out of TSC to decay and whatnot. But having a place where I could be someone different than who I was forced to be was salvation.

Eventually I got out on my own and came back to GS. I played on and off for a few years, never really making any close friends. I was part of the Trophy Room gang when Debia, Jubuls, the original Tijay, Xak, etc used to hang there.

Anyway, fast forward about 9 years from there and it brings us to last year. I guess I should also tell you that I am a 28 year old bisexual male, I'm not a girl but it's sometimes fun to play around. I have been in a relationship for 4 years now with someone I care about very deeply. Unfortunately that person had a drinking problem and it got out of control. One night he decided to swallow a tube of pills and drink himself to death. I woke up at 4am to find him barely breathing. I called 911 and they rushed him to the hospital where he stayed for awhile. He went into rehab from there and got help for his drinking problem but I wasn't alright. His suicide attempt affected me in ways that I wasn't prepared for. I became severely depressed myself and sunk into gemstone like a tick. It was getting harder and harder for me to get out of bed in the morning and I started missing more and more work. I eventually was let go, which made me sink even further into GS.

Thankfully I was able to make silvers in the game and sell them to the PC community. Had it not been for all of you, I wouldn't have made it over the last year, financially or mentally. That is also part of the reason why Myklians changing was hard on me. I was using gemstone to survive and to pay my bills. It became a full time job. When Myklians were changed I realized my life was about to become much more difficult and I freaked out. I was already in a bad place because of the suicide attempt and I no longer knew how to deal with anything.

So where does that leave me now. Unfortunately I have a drug problem. I smoke marijuana every day. I don't like taking pills to be normal, so I turned to drugs to stabilize my mood and help me feel better. Most of the time I am alright, but every now and then I turn into an ugly monster, which is what you see from time to time on lnet.

So, this is the mess that is my life. Feel free to make fun of me now in typical PC fashion. I'm sorry if I have insulted you personally. Please know that it wasn't personal if I went off on you. I have a lot of problems that I don't know how to deal with or overcome. I have become someone that I don't want to be, so I am sorry if I have affected you negatively because of it.

I love it when you break TOS repeatedly.

[diethx]

Making fun of your lame ass is not against TOS.

[Inspire]

Killed any cats lately?

[diethx]

Just a few, been a slow week.

Kill more. Fuckin little bastards.

[Back]

Awesome. Thx, Die.

[Warriorbird]

I wish they made my prescription. Showing it to my Dad though.

[waywardgs]

I've used them too. Good company.

[Asha]

:(

[diethx]

I'm so tempted to have my mom order another pair for me. Thanks Coastal Contacts, now I'm going to be addicted to awesome glasses in addition to shoes, jewelry and bags.

Fuckin' A. lol, at least once the free ones are exhausted and if I want more, they still have many awesome frames deeply discounted.

Can you not get them Dave? They have a British version of the page so they must ship to your side of the pond.

[kookiegod]

Hmm, i need a new prescription, will give it a try.

Soon as i go see the eye doctor, gah, can't wait for a few hours of being blind.

[diethx]

Update on this - the code has expired for now. However they're doing it again starting August 24th, so you can use the same code then for free frames.

[CrystalTears]

Awesome! Thanks for the link. :)

[diethx]

Bumping this for those that didn't get in on the free deal last time, since it ended kinda quickly after I made the thread. Completely free glasses, frames and lenses (1.5 only), pay only shipping with this code at checkout: FREEGLASSES914

The glasses that are included in the sale are here: http://www.coastalcontacts.com/glasses/cCouponEligibleGlasses.html

This is today only so if you didn't get in on it last time, do it today. You won't regret it. I now have 3 pairs from this site and I freaking love them all.

[Fallen]

I will send it to a few glasses wearers.

[diethx]

Awesome.

[Cephalopod]

In the same general category, Zenni Optical (http://www.zennioptical.com/) is pretty awesome for cheap glasses.

[CrystalTears]

Holy shit $9 for glasses! Awesome! You rock, diethx! :heart:

Also as I told CT, the prices listed there are the normal frame prices before using the free code. I would suggest using the free code on a more expensive pair that you like just as much, because you can always go back and purchase the really cheap ones without a free code. They accept returns too if you don't like them for whatever reason (not sure if the return shipping is free, though).

Last pair I got was Kate Spade frames for $38 including everything - lenses, shipping, etc. Everything. Pretty awesome.

They need more options for men with a gigantic gord

Glasses increase a chick's hotness factor by at least 1.00 - 1.25. Glasses > contacts.

funny, I did this last week and got my glasses on Monday. Total cost was $90. My new glasses fit pretty well after "trying them on" with a lame cell phone camera pic.

another great deal if you also use contact lenses: do a google search for contact lenses and you'll see an ad for Vision Direct. you get the code 25shop for 25% off and free shipping. The code won't work unless you do the search and click to the site from the ad link. 4 boxes of Acuvue Advance Plus (24 lenses per box) cost $197
