Now my glasses don't slide down my nose all the time, and it doesn't look like I'm wearing Coke bottles.<br /><br />I do have to admit that you made me spit iced tea all over my desk when you said you got home with glasses that had rhinestones on them. It was all too easy for me to put myself in your shoes!

Someone like me should not shop for glasses unaccompanied but I can't imagine anyone going willingly with me, and I draw the line at blackmail. I went to a new place for my latest pair of glasses. It's located in my neighborhood, I know one of the co-owners, it's a lab as well as frame shop so they could make my glasses there, including all the special elements I require. I tried various frames and attempted to see how they looked on my face, not easy when you are as nearsighted as I am but I finally selected a pair. When I went to pick up these very expensive glasses, I nearly died when I put them on and noticed for the first time that there are rhinestones on the temple pieces. My friends tell me they are hardly noticeable but it wasn't a choice I made knowingly.

The dictionary says, written works, especially those considered of superior or lasting artistic merit: a great work of literature. So nonfiction is definitely literature. I have a friend who just got trifocals, and I expect one of them is for the computer. I recently got two pairs of glasses - regular bifocals and bifocal sunglasses and they cost me a cool thou!Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-7003256940013566822016-09-23T08:00:19.407-07:002016-09-23T08:00:19.407-07:00Ugh!
