Kimbo:
i've had to get new glasses every two or three years since i was five. i now have progressive glasses. the lenses alone cost almost 400$ these aren't the glasses i'm talking about. these Trifocals are made by one specific company (can't think of the name at the moment). they come in only one type of frame, which has a mechanism by which the glasses can be adjusted for something, i don't know. they cost ~800$, i believe.
i hope that my information proves useful for someone out there. i love my new digital machine for reading tapes? discs? i don't know what to call them. the battery charge lasts for 24 hours, so i can take it w/me to Dr. appts and other time-consuming events. plus, more and more magazines are going to disc/tape/whatever these days. so far my Buddhists magazines haven't (big surprise there,lol)).
i don't have any news to report tonight. just dropping in to say hello to everyone. happy wednesday!
oh, and in the great crawfish debate, i grew up on the MS gulf coast and in LA. we used to have crawfish boils on the beach. Sometimes a yankee tourist or two would stumble in to see what was going on. my brother and i took great pleasure in showing them how to eat crawfish..."snap them apart, then you bite the tail and suck the heads." then we would watch them turn green and stumble out of the tent. rflmao!
