Dennis, if it IS the "other thing", there's an ancient Chinese method...

Before going to bed, have long strings attached, and have the family take shifts all night holding them, so that "it" doesn't recede into the body unawares. The Muttley Crew can help here... :eek:

:D :wink: :eek: :roll:

I've had bifocals since i was about 40! This coming spring i'm going to look into Lasik.

Bifocals aren't that bad (and you're not over the hill!). Hopefully you got the tranitional lenses.

Happy B'day, Dennis. Got my bifocals a few days after I turned 40. (almost 2 yrs ago). Time to go back for new ones. Mine are so bad. I got the transitional lenses. That way I only see lines that aren't there tee hee...

Dennis - just don't walk around the grocery store with them on your forehead. That I will never do. That's the dorkiest thing I've ever seen people do. Usually men, sorry...... But I need reading glasses, have had them for about 6 or so years. Can't do without them actually! So I feel for you. I'm sure one of these days I'll be where you're at.

I'm confused.....is it really your Birthday Dennis? If so, Happy Birthday! Now go put on your glasses and blow out these candles.....LOL

No.....it's NOT my birthday, I was being VERY sarcastic when I said I joined the *Over the Hill Gang* (making reference to having to get bifocals)....

VERY FUNNY Garrett!! I'll remember that remark (well, at least until this afternoon lol) J/K

Hey Dennis - I can't be too over the hill yet, b/c I think I was the only one who picked up on your sarcastic edge!!! Wow, I'm quicker than I thought I was. And here everyone thought you were a year older.....you're saying hey, no way, I don't want 2 birthdays this year.....LOL

Yup, I got the no liners......geeesh, talk about bursting ones bubble, and here I thought it was NORMAL to take off the glasses and put my nose right IN the paper.....I've always heard the old saying, "Keep your nose to the grindstone"....now I understand, "Cuz you CAN'T SEE IT!" :lol:
