Are there any other vision impaired people out there? If so you will understand my current agony (okay, could be too harsh of a word… maybe embarrassment? discomfort? irritation? whatever, fill in the blanks yourself, hey) Anyway, back to the point at hand… I have LOST my glasses!!! it’s a tragedy. a real tragedy, kinda like romeo and juliet without the good bits. I’m sitting at work in front of my computer in a pair of sunglasses. i look like a pimp (without the style or the money… it’s a whole list of negatives today). I’m so angry (sigh)… so so angry! And driving at night in a pair of sunglasses is just plain dangerous.. looking foolish is one thing, but manslaughter is another. i don’t want to run someone over, but what can I do? Now I’m gonna have to pay 400 bucks just to be able to see again… stupid expensive (grumble grumble moan) world.
On the other hand, at least lost them having a good time… did anyone else go to V (again, stupid consumerist culture richard branson mobile phone corporate swine grumble grumble) and see the Pixies?? It was worth it… but I’m still a little bit furious. Anyway, just thought I’d vent a little. Sorry for all the negative energy… in with anger, out with love. Whatever. Hope your day is as perfect as your vision.

Hey, I understand! But at least I’m sure you don’t look as silly as my 50-something partner who was wearing his prescription sunglasses at the gym one night. Someone said he looked like “Uncle Arthur” peddling away on the bike!

I’d be lost without mine too. Have you tried your local chemist or optometrist? Many of them stock off-the-peg glasses for emergencies – some acceptable designs too. Not a good idea using them long term but as a stop-gap measure they may be a lifesaver, litterally!

i loose my glasses on the tv stand. it’s metallic and so is my glass frames. as soon as i put them down, it’s like they turn invisible and I look like a goose hunting rooms for them and screaming at everyone in the house “where’s my glasses? where’d you put them?”
I feel so stupid when someone, who has better vision than I, points out that they’re on the tv stand and that I’ve passed them heaps of times. doh!

ps: hope you find them in a nice safe place. i know what it’s like to have to spend money on a new set.
