Bifocal contact lens, kids...the only way to go for the over 40 crowd. Keep that in the back of your mind--someday you'll be here! My husband has to use cheap drug store reading glasses...not me!

You guys would hate me - my family definitely does. I'm the only one in my immediate family who doesn't need glasses. I'm also the oldest. My 22 year old sister had them at 3, and, sadly, my 29 year old sister has MS that affects her eyesight. My husband is also about to need bifocals. The 22 year old sister is also the only one who wears contacts. My husband can't get them in.

However, looking at computer screens have taken it's toll. I'm not better than 20/20 anymore. The day is coming - just not for a while yet.

Count your blessings, Flipper!! I had perfect vision before college and then I had so much reading to do that I started developing vision problems. Now, alas, I have 4 eyes.

If we had the money, Mark and I would look into Lasic. (sp?)

 

[LuxPerpetua]

My uncle had that Lasic (sp??) eye surgery done last year for Christmas and said that it was amazing. It seems to be getting cheaper (and safer!) each year, so maybe soon it will be in your price range.

I've determined that eventually all Lutherans will get off the topic of the original post (or conversation). Even if there are designated places/time for pointless discussions. It just must be a Lutheran thing.

Anyway, as of this posting, I currently have 6 Gmail invites. Does anybody want a Gmail account?

Adam's insurance now covers Lasic with a set price for each eye. He's thinking about getting it done in the next couple of years.

I feel like I'm getting another sty in my right eye. I've been rubbing my eyes too much.
Pizza flour can't be helping the situation.

 

[LuxPerpetua]

Did someone say pizza??? MMMM!! Sorry about your eyes, Kim. What is a sty? Never heard of that.

It's a small, inflamed swelling of a sebaceous gland on the edge of the eyelid.

I had a Subway sandwich for supper.
I went in to check my work schedule, and a few blocks away from work, I started feeling sick. This must be my sign.

Not to be confused with the sign that Bill Engvall likes to give out.

Who's he?

 

[SPALATIN]

Who's he?

He's a comedian who tours with Jeff Foxworthy. His bit about giving a sign to people is almost like Mad Magazines's "Silly Answers to Stupid Questions"

He's also on the Blue Collar Comedy Tour.

Okay. I couldn't remember his name.

I really like Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions. It's almost like another Bible to me.

This feature was in Mad Magazine in the mid 70s and maybe even to the present. Bill Engvall talks about true situations where people actually asked the stupid question and it is to those people he gives the sign.
