Argh -- Jesse, it was the third pair on the left side.

$90! Whoa. Yeah, spending $150 on what you like totally makes sense.

It's 6:15 AM. I just ordered $70 in pizzas.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Those were the ones that caught my eye! And yeah, I need the $80 lens upgrade for my one bad eye. Which is part of why glasses store glasses usually cost me like $400. That, and my expensive taste.

Zenni works for me because my prescription is so basic -- I usually end up paying $20 or so. My usual glasses at my optometrist cost me like $200 and my insurance another $250. It seems a good trade off.

But my prescription hasn't changed in years so I have a stockpile of glasses now.

My students have the AP exam today. I gave them goodie bags yesterday and sent a text to all of them this morning saying GOOD LUCK! I really like this group of kids. It makes it hard to think about next year because I dislike some of those kids already.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I actually find that I don't need the lens upgrade for my one bad eye as long as I get plastic frames. I am -5.00

I just spent about $50 on 5 pairs, including 3 sunglasses.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm -6.25, so I get scared. Since I do like thick frames, I could probably do a step down on the thinness, but I get scared.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I have to get my glasses from my optometrist, because I can't find anyplace else that carries the ultrathin polymer lenses I use for bifocals. I will get my frames from LensCrafters, since they have a better selection of those than the eye doctor's office.

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

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

Should I be trying to get a medical exemption from jury duty? I feel like a shithead.

Punishingly Intricate

Should I be trying to get a medical exemption from jury duty? I feel like a shithead.

If you think that your medical issues will make it impossible for you to serve, that's not being a shithead. If I were being tried, I wouldn't want somebody on the jury who was not able to give my case her full attention and consideration due to a medical issue.
