Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I do sort of wish I was OK with waering one of those elastic band that holds your glasses on, because they do slide down my nose a lot.

Do you just need the parts that go around your ears a little more bent? Because any glasses store should do that for your for free if you walk in and ask.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I was all right with wearing glasses; when I got to the point I needed two ... well, three ... different prescriptions, I was still OK. Then I developed cataracts and my eyesight began going (did you know - they also distort your color perception? turns out everything had a yellow hue with them). So ... I had the surgery and I'm all right with the result - I don't need glasses to walk around, where before I was so nearsighted it wasn't safe to walk around without glasses. I do need glasses to read; I may have to continue wearing glasses when driving. The downside is that, because they give you replacement lenses with two different prescriptions, I can't read anything without glasses ... which is why I stand in the grocery with one eye squinted closed trying to decipher labels. And, for me, it exacerbated an existing eye condition. There's a slight - very slight - chance I'll lose the sight in my left eye. BUT! without the surgery I'd be blind in both eyes before too long, so it was something I had to do.

When they are more bend, they just form painful grooves behind my ears from sliding forward.... I think I have an oddly shaped skull.

Huh! OK, then, I dunno.

Sophia, I can totally relate. Fitting glasses on me takes many visits and millions of adjustments and they still slip down too much.

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

I used to have that problem until I caved and started buying really expensive frames.

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

I really really hope I don't need glasses, because I have no idea how that and the allodynia are going to cohabitate.

My frames are really expensive. Wah.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I've worn contacts full time since I was 13. I like the look of glasses, but every time I wear them for more than a couple of hours I get a headache and feel sick. I also am not a good candidate for LASIK due to asigmatism. Fortunately, I do really well with contacts.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Huh. In today's edition of Things I Did Not Know About LMFAO:

  • The two members are related, being uncle and nephew.
  • That dance they're all doing in the video to Party Rock Anthem is called the Melbourne Shuffle, and originated in my city.
