The cheapest pair of frames, not actually glasses, the eye doc has are $150, even with my new found insurance! What is up with THAT?

Oh, you don't want to get glasses at the eye doc - kind of like getting your oil changed at the dealership. Check out whether your insurance will cover things like Lenscrafters or one of the other chain places.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Target has some kickass glasses. That's where both Joe and I got ours.

Compassionately intolerant

Lenscrafters

Of COURSE. See? That' show long it has been since I've done this sort of thing. Didn't even think of a chain. Especially just for reading glasses. I bet they have reasonable qualty readers already made up.

I've been getting by with the $18 for 3 pair Costco specials, but since I now know this is a long-term issue, I don't want to make the sitch worse with bad quality lenses.

eta: Target, check. Even easier.

Consumer Reports rates Costco's prescription glasses highly, and Costco has some reasonable frames.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Howdy!

re: glasses - VisionWorld (which might only be in MN) kicks ASS. They're wonderful. I miss them.

Me: starts to open mouth, thinks better of it

Him: I know, I don't know why I always go this way.

SO CUTE.

actually - I just do the whole arguement

I don't know why you are going this way, it is the harder way. ,I would do it different. you just felt like it and Im not driving so I'll be quiet now

Hmmm, I already do this.

Morning!

Thrive to spite them

Beej - I'm not sure if they have a VisionWorks in your area but that's where I got my glasses. They have various specials depending on what type of frames/lenses. And they had a separate selection of reading glasses.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I have a girly TMI question:

I have had an insanely heavy and painful period this time. It started with really REALLY bad pain and I am still cramping pretty badly on day five. I am still having to change tampons every hour or so. I bled through a tampon last night and all over the sheets, not a pleasant way to wake up (Lucky for me, the DH grew up with two sisters and is rather blase about the whole thing. His reaction was, "Hey, these things happen.") I know I have ovarian cysts--could a cyst bursting cause these symptoms, or is it just perimenopausal fun?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Robin, can you give your doctor's office a call and tell them what's going on? See if they can give you an answer. That just seems really heavy for day 5.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Robin - I would say Perimenopause, but that's based on a very large cyst bursting when I was 15, and I had the immense pain, but only ever had normal periods until the found it. But, I have no idea, but I'll give you very gentle hugs {{{Robin}}}.

Mostly lurking...

Robin, I would definitely call the doctor...just to see if you need to be seen or something. See what they have to say.
