-- Posted by Anonymous at 1:03 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 In gym on Friday we are playing basketball. Basketball, besides boxing, is the number one sport where eye injuries occur. Each year 13,000 people go blind as a result of sports related eye injury. I also had LASIK surgery which makes my risk greater. But safety goggles are so dorky and I'm a girl. Should I wear safety goggles to my gym class or should I just skip gym? -- Posted by kill the bitch at 1:03 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 skip -- Posted by superchris4000 at 1:04 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 Skip gym. -- Posted by wingedmisery at 1:04 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 if the rest of the class is wearing them, you won't look absolutely ridiculous. just suck it up and wear them -- Posted by Missipop at 1:04 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 your making something out of nothing -- Posted by kjm55 at 1:04 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 hahah blatez skip -- Posted by ottoman673 at 1:05 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 How about you just... go through playing without the goggles? It's not like bitches are gonna get in your face on purpose. and... if you're just curious, Rip Hamilton [famous NBA player] wears them. so it's not 'geeky.' I dont advocate skipping though. -- Posted by Anonymous at 1:05 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 Quote: from wingedmisery at 1:04 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 if the rest of the class is wearing them, you won't look absolutely ridiculous. just suck it up and wear them The rest of the class will not be wearing them. I will be the only one. -- Posted by Nightshade09 at 1:05 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 neither just be careful... -- Posted by Natsy at 1:06 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 skip -- Posted by scott sm at 1:06 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 who cares i got worse problems im on the brink of suicide to care -- Posted by Anonymous at 1:07 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 Quote: from Natsy at 1:06 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 skip How am I supposed to skip gym forever? And um...I'll always have LASIKED eyes. -- Posted by taraxgoesxboom at 1:07 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 lol, you should just play without the goggles. I'm pretty sure there's a 99.9% chance you wont go blind. My mom has had Lasik and she's never wore goggles for anything we do. -- Posted by BodomChick at 1:07 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 skip -- Posted by wallopwoop at 1:07 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 You are totally the epitome of a pussy. It's fucking basketball. Damn. -- Posted by Sunshine Buddy at 1:08 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 You're playing basketball with a bunch of school kids. I hardly think anything will happen to make you blind. You're making a mountain out of a mole hill. Relax. -- Posted by Anonymous at 1:08 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 Quote: from taraxgoesxboom at 1:07 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 lol, you should just play without the goggles.

Have you had LASIK? -- Posted by freedom at 1:11 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 Just say you're trying to make a statement. Find some really cool goggles and when you're not playing/on the bench wear them on you're head or round your neck. -- Posted by taraxgoesxboom at 1:23 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 Quote: from Anonymous at 1:08 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 Quote: from taraxgoesxboom at 1:07 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 lol, you should just play without the goggles.

Maybe if you got it done like a week ago. If you're going to live your life in fear now because something might happen to your eyes, it might not have been the best choice to have it done. When I turn 21 I'm getting it done and sure I'll be careful the first few months afterward, but I really think it's unnecassary to take it to the point of wearing goggles. -- Posted by txbball08 at 1:37 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 i'd go.  odds are you'll be ok. -- Posted by lakshmi1234 at 11:36 pm on Dec. 29, 2008 Hi pals, Here is smith and I wanted to take this opportunity to share with you some exciting news that Safety Direct is the leading supplier of health, safety and hygiene products in Ireland with over two decades of experience in sourcing and providing quality, reliable products.
