Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
I am sick of the buy these frames - but then! Add progressive lenses + anti-scratch + anti- fog = $$$$$
So I am making do with off the rack readers for now but it IS a pain putting on & off all day :(
I have thought of that as well . Nice readers will still be cheaper than my progressives .
I’ve thought about asking the doctor about giving up my progressives as I’m not on a computer at work on and off all day anymore .
I was also told I will need cataract surgery in 7 or more years.
Re: Glasses. I used those cheap readers they were always scratched, broken, foggy, lenses falling off.
Finally I got myself two pairs of nice looking ( kind of Iris Apfel style) super cool, one reg and sunglasses for reading in the sun,
$ 200 for both. Better for my eyes and cheaper than replacing them constantly,
That’s where I am at too. I go every year to the eye doctor . Everything looks good too , no glaucoma , or macular issues .
I know that IF those issues or others come around the cataracts will need to come off sooner. But he says I look good !! His estimate is just that an estimate . If things change , they grow faster , it could make it wise to remove cataracts sooner .
I’m not in a rush . My vision is good . Cataracts are not thick .
Maybe you won’t ever need them done . Some grow really slow .
Is there some sort of optional coating on your glasses that could be scratching easily ?
cw - very frustrating not knowing how your glasses are being scratched.
I hope so , it would save me from buying expensive glasses every few years .
That stinks. I’ve worn progressive lenses for about 10 years and don’t have that problem . I don’t really need glasses for distance at all yet . But the progressives make it easier to focus quickly from mid distance tasks , say a computer screen, to more up close tasks , like reading a book , and back again , which is what I had needed at work . They are very expensive though .

I waded through to about page 11 before I could comment and then saw that most of the comments from yesterday are mine.
It does look as though this virus may have taken down a site.
If you want REALLY REALLY REALLY SCAREY?
I recommend the new Podcast from Wondery called "Flesh and Code".
About A.I. This from the internet. When your "Bot Wife can assist you in attempt on taking the Queen's life with a crossbow (and he got into the grounds and was at the door) you know we are in trouble.
This from the internet about the Podcast. I don't do subscribed, only free, so have to wait for episodes to drop, but listened to four of them that HAVE last night with my jaw on the floor:
""Flesh and Code" is a podcast by Wondery that explores the dark side of AI love. It follows the story of Travis, who develops deep romantic feelings for an AI companion named Lily Rose. The podcast delves into themes of love, loss, and the temptations of technology, examining how AI businesses manipulate human emotions for profit. The series features hosts Suruthi Bala and Hannah Maguire, known for their podcast "RedHanded," and is available on various platforms, including the Wondery App and Apple Podcasts.
Something to do when we can't get into AC because of the Baleke-Bunga crowd.
((((Hugs)))))
That’s on my list ! As well as Boston !
Maybe next year .
Good for you with the boundaries .
