Now I also know that you can buy inexpensive reading glasses in the drugstore, and the optician can add new lenses to this. So you can save a bundle that way. Do you not have any vision coverage at work? Hope that helps! : )
Rob, darn it, I just donated a couple pairs of my old glasses on Sunday – really! I know there is a program. I’ll call the guy I gave them to, and ask him. More later…
morning everyone
sorry been out of touch lately!
hope all is well
Rob – do you want to be near a beach a park, do you want to be able to bring your dog along with you?
and no life doesn’t seem to be easy at all for most of us out here – so I understand
ugh life never gets any easier does it? im sitting here with my nose pressed up against my computer monitor. anyway, without my contacts im blind as a bat. i threw out my last pair of contacts cuz they were old and crusty and i wound up getting an eye stuy or something (gross). but i was like that’s okay i can just wear my glasses for the next month or so only to realize i havent seen those glasses around in over a year and probably threw them out cuz they werent even my glasses they were someone elses who had a similar prescription and id use them for emergencies but they would fall off my face anyway. also being blind as a bat didnt help with actually looking for the glasses since i can’t see anything.
on the train this morning i feel like i remember some program i heard about where they give free used prescription glasses to people. does anyone know if such a thing exists or am i totally just imagining this. i know my prescription -3.00 in one eye and -3.25 in the other eye. im gonna go mad google free glasses program. oh yeah and if anyone has a pair of glasses (female frames are fine too, i dont care) with a prescription about that feel free to donate before i walk into oncoming traffic. and when i get new contacts in a few weeks ill redonate the glasses to such a program.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooh! okay in the middle of writing this i found a super old old pair of contacts in a case in my desk drawer at work. tho i dont think i should put them in til i can get home and clean them thoroughly. okay hopefully these will be okay and i wont have to scrub around for someones old granny glasses.
also can someone recommend a staycation to do on memorial day?

I never felt as if I had mastered the internet until I discovered the Brownstoner Open Thread.

Today’s FGVOTD is a video from 1997 showing one how to master the Internet.
The video is from the comedy website Funny or Die and, while not real, is still hilarious.
It’s particularly amusing from 1:04 to 1:20 when he goes from a creepy smile to various uses of the Internet.
