I've had these new glasses for many weeks now and I'm still not wild about them, but I have learned to adjust. Still don't care for them in front of the computer screen. There's a weird fishbowl effect when I try to adjust to the progressive lenses looking at things up close. So, I went and got my old scratched-up glasses out of the car (there as back-ups) to see if I could just wear those at the computer.
Wow! I guess my eyes have adjusted to the new lenses, because I couldn't believe I used to wear the old ones when I put them on.

So, more "sight" than "in" going on here. Progressive lenses or any other bifocals are terrible for working on a computer. Stronger "cheaters" are probably the answer. |

You mean like those corrective glasses you can just pick out right off a rack in many eyeglass places? I think we even had one at my last Walmart. If that works, I am going to be so grateful to you. Because the way things are now is simply not acceptable. |

Are the cheaters mainly for people who are far-sighted and need eyeglasses to see up close? Because I've been to two separate places for them and none of the glasses were any use to me whatsoever.
Anyway, as of last night, I'm back to wearing my old scratched up eyeglasses. I'm going to visit the Walmart optician for a new exam soon. They (WM) have actually always done a really good job in the past. In case you're wondering why I didn't just visit them again this time, I no longer had my eye insurance through them and thought I'd see how another optician would do. It's wild because the place I went gets high marks around town.

Most cheaters are reading glasses, yes. What is the eye problem we are talking about in your case? |

Minus the upchucky feeling you get from progressive lenses. |

Wild-ass Dune, Part Two thought that isn't going to make it into my review, because it only just came to me, and the review is already written:
Although the fans he made from Elvis a few years back might be shocked to see what Austin Butler does with the role of Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen, playing the best-beloved gladiator on a planet of space perverts, coddled and exploited in equal measure by a sociopathic uncle with outsized plans for his life and career, is not actually all that huge a stretch from playing Elvis Presley.

I have been marveling over this off and on ever since the botany unit of the AP biology class that I took in my senior year of high school. |

Also, in keeping with plant thoughts...
And in case you haven't already, might I recommend "Little Joe"? Interesting little tale of human/plant DNA complications. |

I'm the kind of guy who not only saves the extra ketchup packets, but uses them later.

It occurred to me on my drive into work this morning that one of the more easily missed lessons of A Clockwork Orange is that it just might take a professional linguist to devise a plausible-sounding system of "futuristic" youth slang.

It's amazing how many Jerry Garcia-looking dudes around here call themselves "old hippies" while being Magats.
