So sorry about your glasses, my friend. I hope you've been able to have them repaired?

I only have one pair. If something should happen to them I would not be able to drive until I got new ones.

I think Arthur needs a new pair of specs so he doesn't step on things that aren't his...

Hello friend. I am sorry about your glasses but they will repair them. It is a lot of work to keep all that gardening you do and especially with all these extra aggravations like the black flies and getting the wrong order. But tomorrow is a new day and a new scene.

That drove me crazy being without glasses...I used to wear the thickness of coke bottles. I was so blind without them.

I have sat on my glasses a time or two. They have always been able to have been fixed. I joke they are indestructible.

Re: mneme
Poor Mneme you do seem to be in the wars. Really folk should go for a bungalow when they have a job with stairs. Although when my Mum couldn't make it I just moved everything downstairs and put a gate at the bottom.

Re: There's a TV ad playing these days for a low-priced eyeglass dealer,
Well these a mediocre pinks Pat about like buttercups, I suppose I should complain to the
firm that sent them, but I cannot remember which one it was and I don't want another batch. Yes I know, there is always some one trying to sell to the unwary.

Re:
I suppose buying one's glasses in bulk would probably be better in the long run, some stores do give two for one,but they are usually designer glasses and one pays for the name. The trouble is Kris everything is becoming kind of artificial, mainly to push sales of things that no one really needs, but they seem desirable and so they are until the next tempting project appears. Once I had a bottle of milk I thought it tasted bitter, at the bottom was a large fat spider, spiders must taste bitter.

Re: Sorry to hear the world is being cantankerous with you!
Yes Ciel I am going to pull all the pinks up and revise my system. Archie was down here at six a.m. He had picked a large bucketful of sweet peas. 'Good seller.' he grinned.

Well, and watch it, (silly old men). Perhaps he takes after you, as you are such a lovely person sometimes.

Re: Vermont
Well just a term we use they are the little bugs offspring of a lttle black fly. Usually we find a thunderstorm will help to wash them off,but no rain here much at all at present.

Re:Wiley
Trouble is I need them for everyday use, I go to an elderly lady who still keeps a shop running. She gave me a warning last time I went so I shall take her a box of chocolates to keep her sweet.

I could send you screws for glasses as I have saved rather a lot of them from old glasses Bro.

Good luck with your glasses. I didn't know you had black flies across the way. I
thought they were limited to the more cold climates.

I do wish that you could see my Son about your glasses. He is so good with silly old men who all do things like you just did, they really love him. He has such a kindness in him.

I hope tomorrow and many days thereafter will do their best to make up for it.

Ah, but you see, too many folks are idiots....believing whatever they see on the net, or read in the paper....versus observing things like the spiders or even simply thinking it through when they do see that stupid stuff on the net. I sit and listen to some of the kids talking about this stuff they are seeing on YouTube and Vine and I just laugh myself silly all day -it is hysterical how little common sense there is. I mean the more we bet away from observing nature as a teacher...and schools are hopeless....and there's all this crappola filling their heads...well, what can we expect....sad, sad, sad.
I was once babysitting a baby cousin, sweeping a floor while he crawled around....I saw him putting something in his mouth, realized it was a spider and used the broom to reach out and swipe his hand from his mouth....the spider "exploded" onto the floor and totally freaked me for a second until I realized it had been a mommy carrying babies. Ugh! Can you imagine if they had gone running down my little cuz's chin!! Gross!!!
My mom's dog ate her reading glasses so often (she couldn't remember not to put them down) that I started buying them by the 10-pack....and at least three cell phones and three television remotes.....

There's a TV ad playing these days for a low-priced eyeglass dealer,
where the kid, about 10 years old, keeps coming in the house yelling "Mom!" because he's fallen off the bike or pulled some other stunt and broken his glasses. Some kind of special insurance gimmick the company's selling, I think. I would like the pinks, especially if they smell as sweet as I remember them. Sorry about the bee.

I have to smile CCT, my mother has a stairlift saga that you just wouldn't believe. I can add an earpiece to the mix; she has broken it for a second time and it's only been three weeks since the fitting!
