So I got new glasses...Follow

"she can't behave while sitting up front"

The issue is, the teacher doesn't like dealing with Kailey complaining that so and is pulling her hair, or stealing her pencil, and she let's it escalate until Kai cries. Then she promptly sends her to the principal.

It said "...so now I can see", which was awful sentence structure!

Also, yus. I still need to get a Camera or something...

Haha, my primary school teacher didn't know anything about West Berlin geography. She was such a ****.

In college, nearly all the teachers were afraid of saying "heroin". It was an issue and the only ones who could deal with it were the ones who had addicts as family or friends, namedly our Russian/football teacher and an English/rugby teacher. Out of 55 or so.

Not that I'm saying heroin addiction is like arthritis. Well, it can feel pretty similar I think.

Uh what?

Nobody gets glass glass lenses anymore. It's all polycarbonate and such. That's not what makes them cost $300.

Ya, it's the thickness of them that makes them cost more. To get thinner lenses you pay more money.

You can get cheap 10-20 dollar/lens lenses that are plastic, but super thick for the same prescription. Or you can get Polycarb, or even "super" polycarb, which reduce the thickness, are stronger, etc. But they can cost upwards of 70-80 dollars per lens.

Then of course your "cute frames" add on another 150-180 dollars.




All the local places and even Wal-mart charge per lens here. In reality it's no different... they charge you 55 dollars per lens, or 110 for both.

I need to get out the bill, but the pretty frames were a 100ish. Plus two lenses, and then I think there's scratch resist coating, but I don't remember. I am just glad she can see!

I had NO idea that thin ones were more expensive, that seems odd.

Yeah, it could be a lot worse. I paid 45 for the exam, 210 for the nifty flexible thin wire frames, and 350 for the ultra thin and light scratch resistant lenses with the anti glare coating and the UV protection. Of course I also got a free pair of prescription sunglasses with 150 dollars frames and the same horrifically expensive lenses. So it wasn't too bad since I have two pair for that cost.

I didn't realize how bad my vision had gotten since my last new pair. I went in to pick them up and was shocked at how much more clear everything became when I first put on the new glasses.
