Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

This is my problem with sunglasses. And those are the cheapest they have. Somewhere between that and $10 lies the right sunglasses for me.

My first pair of reading glasses has clip on shades, which I do love. Hmm. Must find books to take with too.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

These sunglasses are cool, by virtue of being invented thousands of years ago: [link]

And there's a benefit of being as blind as I am! I can't lose glasses because I have to have them on when not asleep or in the shower.

Exactly! I can never figure out people who lose their glasses, because how can you not know where you put them? The only time I ever panic over not finding mine is if I've taken them off while half asleep and then having them fall onto the floor overnight (or get knocked onto the floor by the cat pawing through my stuff on the bedside table). First, I worry about stepping on them, then I have to get on my hands and knees and pat around for them since I can't see where they are.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I'm still mourning the loss of my $125 pair of Serengetis. But I had them for 8 years so they had a good run. I'm in a $14 pair of Target sunglasses now but I want a nice pair eventually.

Are sunglasses like umbrellas, in that the more expensive they are, the more likely they are to be lost?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Kathy sums up my glasses wearing experince nicely. Though if I'm in a contact wearing phase it gets more comlpicated since my glasses are not actually on my face all the time.

I always sneeze when I'm first exposed to bright light. Pale, light-blue-eyes, natural redhead. My family used to use me as party trick: "Watch this, watch this. Hey, Connie, come out here! Watch this, she'll sneeze."

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I'm glad I got a good pair of Rx sunglasses a couple years ago-- I have them in a hard-sided case that is always found in one of my handbags, so they don't get lost. I was also surprised that LensCrafters has a nice selection of fashionable-looking sunglass frames.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Ah yes, good old Autosomal dominant Compelling Helio-Ophthalmic Outburst syndrome. All the women in my family have it -- it's hilarious when we all walk out of a restaurant together, take three steps, pause, sneeze, and keep going. It's always perfectly synchronized.

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

Oh, gods. Y'all really should film that. Please?
