Wow, just wowsers ... troll or not, 400 pages or otherwise, one only has so much time to muse about whether you're going to figure things out or not, and before you judge me, I'm no ageist, but a good person if I may say so

I have no doubt that you’re a good person. I have no reason to think otherwise. I enjoy reading your zany posts mate. We’re all in this crazy thing called life together!

Perfecto!

I’ve decided to take today off from my socials. I’ll be back tomorrow. DM (direct message) me if something important comes up. Have a super day my friends.

While reading the 1000+ pages here, I've seen quite a few discussions around eyewear storage ideas as well as mentions of the awesome briefcase that JMM carries. After some sleuthing I was able to find the manufacturer that makes those briefcases and opened an account with the factory (big shoutout to Google Translate!).

Anyways, I ended up placing an order and they just arrived and look great! The pebble grain leather that I chose is veg-tanned and sourced from a tannery in Italy. The frame of the case is made with wood and the interior is lined with velvet flocking. I went with a classic red-brown color and a nice forest green option as well.

I have a few pieces in stock that I can ship now for anyone that is interested, and can also place orders for the 10-frame size and potentially for other colors too if there's interest. I have priced these as low as possible and am confident that this is the best price you will see for these products. Let me know if you have any questions!

I was informed by Aya at JMM LA a few weeks ago that the Palisades location had a couple Black Fades. Might be worth trying to contact them directly.

Thanks, Rowdy!

It's taken me 28 years of working as a graphic designer and three years of purchasing JMM to truly become fascinated with burgundy and green. These two colors are inherantly beautiful when combined.

Not sure if it’s the same vendor but I got mine from France. They were about half the price of the JMM ones and you can have them custom made to your choice but they already had in stock my choice so delivery was quite quick off the shelf. Mine is bright cobalt blue with a grey interior and chrome hardware. Quality is great. Love it! Just trying to keep my purchases low so I don’t have to buy another is the current challenge. Yours look great too. If I DID have to get another I’m not sure if I’d get a matching pair or choose a different colour combo.

Where did you get yours? I keep my eyewear in some el cheapo Chinese garbage twelve capacity cases from Amazon. (Probably emits a bunch of toxic vapors based on how it smells.) I’m considering upgrading to high quality cases.

The recommendation came from someone on this thread so you could try doing a search. I’m almost certain I posted pics of mine on here when I got it. Must have been the end of 2022. Vendor was Guichard

When's the next page celebration? 1250? 1500? 2000??

 

[threeleggeddog]

Every page is a celebration here

Whenever I decide the next celebration is, you’re not invited. That’s for sure, buddy boy. Absolutely horrid!

Edit: I’ll also add this. At this point, I’m not even sure I’ll plan a next milestone celebration after the last one was basically ignored despite all my time and effort I put into it. I was left feeling unappreciated and marginalized. Couple with Jack’s price increases and the lack of activity, frankly, I don’t see another one happening unless there are huge changes. NOT OK!
