Howdy!
Oh, beg pardon.
I stand corrected: you've been a 4-eyes longer than I have! G
How long does it take to get the new glasses on your face?
Remember when you used to have to wait for about 6 weeks?
Or was that only because I lived in way-south Texas (couldn't get
much souther) where everything took longer?
I love the way colors all of a sudden look clearer with new glasses,
the grass looks closer, the quilt stitches show up! G

Oh dear.........guess I didn't splain very well.
It would take me buying NEW Glasses every year for 7 years to 'pay' for
the
surgery.
I've been wearing glasses since I was 3-really do NOT remember wearing
them
until I got into the 4th grade--spelled a word incorrectly on a spelling
test---teacher had me come up to the blackboard and 'read' the
letters-----then I knew it was suppose to be "mad instead of mud-or was it
mud instead of mad"
THEN she went upstairs (2 story school building--phone was upstairs in the
hall--and EVERYONE heard the phone calls) and called my Mom-----I KNEW I
was
really really in trouble --((no one called home unless you were in BAD BAD
trouble)).... she only wanted mom to know I needed new glasses. (I thought
I
had had it for 'arguing' with the teacher! Didn't KNOW she and Mom were
good
friends)
So I got NEW glasses-white 'cat eye' frames that I had to wear forever
cause
you did NOT get new frames until the old ones fell apart.......or you got
your Bro to inadvertently 'smash em' or got hit with a baseball........got
new glasses that year, too.....
Butterfly (tripping down glasses memory lane---never DID get red frame
glasses only white /brown /blue/ brown --cheapest you know)

Newbie! Glasses for 7 years? Hah! I started wearing
glasses when I was 7 yrs. old!! Only thing offered for little girls
at that time were the pink cat eyes; I was soooo lucky, they had
just started adding little sparklies to the mix; not much sparkle
really,
but boy could I see!!! g
We've had this discussion before about progressive bifocals; *sigh*
I keep putting it off; I just take off my glasses to quilt, or keep
looking
over the top of them to quilt while watching t.v.. g
Congrats to you on the new specs. Maybe some kind-hearted
soul(s) will squish you as compensation after you get the new $$$
glasses.
