My husband and I both need readers now, and we are close enough in visionland that we can use the same glasses. <br /><br />When we can find them.<br /><br />I do the glasses on the head thing, take them off, and walk away. 'honey, you seen my glasses?" "No, you seen mine?" We were up to seven pairs, then I sat on one pair last week, and he ran over another that slid out of my pocket...two of them have one lens, and it was time. <br /><br />I tried hanging them from a cord around the neck, but when you carry stuff they get hung up in the carton flap, or the armload of wood, or groceries, or cat, who loves to play with them...mittenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04878611591683283429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-10777485443000995752019-04-19T19:46:19.559-04:002019-04-19T19:46:19.559-04:00The only time I have to wear glasses is when I wan...The only time I have to wear glasses is when I want to see.Rick Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005727239466916086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-70484674863303743012019-04-18T11:50:48.671-04:002019-04-18T11:50:48.671-04:00Know what you mean.

One for computer, one for TV and one for reading and my Sunday go to meeting expensive ones that cover all bases for when I leave the house. Each has its own holder and stays by the place needed. I get the single lens glasses at Dollar Tree.

I could try your strategy but Queenie would see 'em sitting somewhere and decide they need to be somewhere else. usually somewhere I'd never put 'em. <br /><br />Somewhere there's a couple HUUGE stashes of mechanical pencils ... and a couple more of 'normal' pens (she only uses the cutesie styles) ... and in nearly 30 years in this house I have only found one small stash. Somewhere when we die and the kids are ditching our junk they'll find 'em. Heck, by then they'll probably be quaint antiques in a paper-less age and the kids'll get rich. Meanwhile, I'm going broke replacing the ones Queenie seizes .......<br /><br />It's really a sad story, I try not to burden my friends.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-13838191415083512022019-04-18T06:16:16.202-04:002019-04-18T06:16:16.202-04:00Oh, you need hearing aid ... gosh, should I be SHO...Oh, you need hearing aid ... gosh, should I be SHOUTING? <br />I've been keeping the local optician waiting for a couple of years but I will NOT fork out unnecessary sums of money.
