not any world with #8 shot

and then you make a roux

My best friends dad told me when he was working his cornfield they'd fly just out of range of a shotgun. Scarecrows
placed in the field had no affect. The article is correct,these birds are very smart.

Cell phone while using swype.. Look, i finally broke down and made my first eye appoint the other day (appt is next week). Honestly, this will be the first one i have ever made. but at 47, i guess its finally time.... but i am still in denial.

Welcome to the world of reading glasses. 10 years ago I went for my eye exam and the ophthalmologist says "Do you find yourself holding things at a distance so you can read easier?" "Yes, as a matter of fact I do"

"Well, that's not going to get any better"

I buy readers by the six-pack and scatter them everywhere.

Today I learned that Bill Lear, the man that was behind LearJet also invented the 8 track tape.

Sure that Opthalmologist wasn’t talking about your significant other?

I ended up needing glasses. I needed Bifocals. long vision is perfect, short vision, mainly reading is not. Got the progressive lenses. I really only need them when I'm reading. But I know that if I don't wear them all the time, I'll never wear them when I need to. Especially since I use my phone so much. Taking some getting used to, but I'll live... Didn't want to go expensive in case they fell by the wayside, so i went to Vison 4 Less and got the 2 for $76 deal for progressive lenses, cheaper than if i used my insurance. If I wear them like I should, later on i may go get a better pair if need be.

The toughest part about getting bifocals for the first time is learning how to walk again. I can't tell you how many times I almost broke my neck walking up steps and misjudging.

I have never heard of them. I need to look into it. I wonder if the eye doctor is just saw would prescibe this without having to do another appointment?

Depends if he is getting paid by the company that puts them out.

Here’s a big detailed review. Seems like they do work, but have limitations/drawbacks

I'm about to be in that boat. I've worn glasses for over 30 years for being nearsighted, and my prescription has generally been stable for over a decade, but I'm getting to the point where I'm gonna need reading glasses or bifocals to read anything within arms length. Getting old sucks!

What Doctors Think About The Vuity Eye Drop for Presbyopia

The first eye drop for presbyopia, Vuity from Allergan, was approved by the FDA in October 2021, and it’s already changing how eyecare practitioners approach presbyopia with their patients.

Man this is the hard core truth. And welcome to age Big Daddy.

When I first got mine I had people at work asking if I was drunk. I wasn't, I just had trouble judging short distances when
I wore my glassess

One drawback being that they aren't cheap and aren't covered by insurance.

Hearing Aids aren't covered by most insurance either.
