The Price of Vision these days...


Eye Exam = $69

Prescription lenses = $50

Frames = $29


Being able to see clearly without having to tip my head to compensate for the broken frame = PRICELESS

Being able to see is pretty paramount--esp for a bus driver, I'd say. Librarians too.

In that context, glasses are amazingly inexpensive--of course when you have no money it's hard to appreciate that.

And that reminds me, I need to get a new pair also, Ciera.

Nobody - not a problem, my dear, I know school days are busy. I would love to convert to contacts, but a few years ago the doctor I had then advised against it. so - I'm stuck with glasses, unless this new doc thinks otherwise....hmm, I'll have to ask.

utenzi - you're welcome for the reminder. Yeah, when they faxed my records to the new doctor, to verify that it was the right set, the receptionist asked me a few questions...one of which was - "You're extremely nearsited?" Uhm, yeah - what a great way to be known!!!!

'The Price Of Vision' is an ideal title for that subject.

Ponderisms

This comes from an email from one of my many sisters. Some are just toooo funny!!! PONDERISMS 1.) I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes. 2.) Gardening Rule: When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. 3.) The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement. 4.) Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway. 5.) There are two kinds of pedestrians: the quick and the dead. 6.) Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing. 7.) Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die. 8.) The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth. 9.) Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs. 10.) Have you noticed since everyone has a ca...

Too Soon

"I spoke too soon" Well....sort of. Here's a brief rundown of my first 'drop off run' - u know, taking the kids home. I get all the kids on the bus, knowing that one girl needs to go to daycare, I automatically head for the one she went to last year...as I pull up, she says, "I don't go there anymore...I go to the new daycare..." Uh-oh. Now, this little girls a little more mature than the rest, so I believe her. I tried calling the other driver on the handheld radio to see if he was still at the center...no answer....tried calling the boss...no answer...I went back to the Center...no one could see the bus becuase of the ambulance, so no one could come out. So I cart the girl around the entire hour long route.........at the first stop, I sent a message through the mother to the Center....and then there was a bee on the bus!!!! I killed it, superhero that I am. One girl wants to "swing from the chandleirs"...if the bus had them. Oh m...
