That's our job (but we're not mean)

The little rubber nose thingie tore off my glasses this morning, and I can't seem to replace it. I need to get my insurance information so I know where I can go so I can see about getting my frames (hopefully just the frames) dealth with.

This morning I reached into the soap grab bag for a new bar and came out with 'Sleepy Hollow'. It's a little early, as it will be completely gone before All Soul's, but it makes me happy to think it's almost that time of year. (Even if we don't really get that time of year around here.)

Good luck with the specs. In case you need them:

(I've used these guys, they're pretty good. I haven't used the top one but it was rec'd to me by one of my brother's friends)

It's very easy to order spectacles on-line. This is a good guide:

I got a better fit from the ones I ordered myself than the ones from Costco. And $175 cheaper!

Hmmm. I'll check into this. Looks like I'd still need an eye exam somewhere local to get a prescription, and.... possibly lenses ground as well. All I see, on a quick look, is frames.

Yes, I get my exam at Costco, but I buy the specs online. Just cheaper. If your specs work fine for you and you don't need an exam, just go to any eyeglass place and ask them what the prescription is. Just tell them you want to order a pair of prescription sunglasses or a spare pair *online*. Most of them will write down what the prescription is for you without grumbling. I just tell them I can get them online for $30 bucks and if they can meet that, great, otherwise, I just need the prescription particulars please. So far, I've had no problem.

oooooo.
(I have never seen an optical place in a CostCo. I need to get out more.)
