All is well that ends in pizza.

Okay, this steams me:

CBS has some 25 currently uncirculated public domain masters of old Jack Benny Shows that they refuse to let be preserved and digitally transferred at NO cost to them.

Our wings are not tired.

I lost my lengthy post about the Caribbean taste bud delights we enjoyed this evening. Too full and tired to try and recreate. We had a party of 10 at a local not for tourists totally for food lovers place. There was jerk, and island curry, and ginger, and garlic, and seafood galore. Oh my, the aroma and flavors. My mouth, and belly, and soul are well satisfied.

I went and impulse bought some new eyeglasses today. And might go buy another pair. But they end up being $500-600 a pair.

The one time I spent that kind of money on glasses was in Seattle, too! I picked them up in the eyeglass store in Pike Place Market--the frames were French and the lenses had every bell and whistle available.

ah, see, for me, that's how much my glasses ALWAYS cost. The frames in this case were only $200, which is not that much, for me. But my lenses are always around $400. Sigh. Stupid genetic legacy of bad bad vision.

Though my plan is to buy these, and then wait another couple months until my insurance resets (from buying contacts last year) and get new lenses for my current glasses (it'll pay about $200 of the $400)--the ones that long long ago, Hec helped me pick out! (OK, he helped me pick out the predecessors, which I then broke in a krav class, and replaced with something else, and then found a the same frames again and chose again because I had liked them so much!)

Me too. And while I just got new glasses late last spring, I don't really care for the frames and am looking to replace them. But not right away, because of all of the moving stuff.

I have 6 different problems with my eyesight, so it's always around the 380$ for me - and I'm going with the cheap options, usually.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am still willing to shill for www.zennioptical.com. I have astigmatism, hella nearsightedness and need the thin lenses, and still, most glasses are under $30. I think the profit margin on glasses is just crazy.

That sounds perfect for DH, Sophia. He is the worst about losing glasses. I should always have a spare pair or two around for him. I use contacts, but they don't work for him.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

I am also a convert to zennioptical. Great glasses, no mark up. I even had my optometrist test my lenses when they came in and they got a 100%.

eta: the glasses i'm wearing right now? Less than $20, including shipping and astigmatism...tho i didn't shell out for the anti-reflective coating this time around.

That looks like a great site. I'll have to see about getting a back-up pair or two from there.
