Yes....I'm sure my head would be flat on one side before I got to bed tonight. Probably resulting in permanent damage. From all the banging my head against a wall.

Hehe num. One of the people at my work has a poster with that on the wall of her cubicle. Where I work, it makes a whole lot of sense.

Oh dear. Honestly.

Sooo... What's tomato pie? Sounds yucky.

Don't mention reading glasses, mm. I had to stop at the dollar tree the other day on my way to a client's house and buy a couple, because he has a laptop and I can't see the software I'm teaching him how to use without rockin' a pair of 1.75's.

Last time I was there I had a pair with one arm, and nobody told me the ones I got at the DT so I wouldn't be wearing the broken ones looked like Sarah Palin's.

FR - I finally bought reading glasses in a big ol' 3 pak at Costco. I have a pair at work, a pair by the phone and a pair for my purse...It really is bad. It happened like overnight when I was about 45.....for the computer...we just have a 19 inch screen and keep it at about 125%

A bit earlier for me, maybe around 43ish. I literally suddenly couldn't read a book I'd been reading just a week before.

I'd always had exceptional vision, too. But a friend told me once that 100 percent of people's eyesight starts to deteriorate at age 40. I wasn't sure if he was pulling my leg but MrFR just noticed he can't see some print, and he's 41.

How are those Costco ones? MrFR is always trying to get me them but I'm too cheap and too in denial to spend the 20 bucks.

I like the Costco ones. I was stuck once and ended up buying a really cheap pair at Walmart. Hate them.

I'm glad I skipped that thread.

I'm half way through Centennial. The town has been established. The cowboys and farmers are fighting.

I've missed a bit. But if we can get AARP discounts, I'm all for that.
Tomato pies sound yucky.
I'm beginning to wonder if a certain poster is making things up to get our goat. No one can be that thick for so long and not ingest our advice.
I appreciate my son more and more.
Well, that wraps it up.
Oh, we got take out from Chili's....sigh.....
