AAAaarggg... I hate it!!! I hate getting old

[fkovalski]

I had to finally get glasses! Sitting all day at the computer was giving me tremendous headaches! I thought it was just the work, but over time, little by little- it was the slight changes of the lens' in the eyes were making 'em working harder.



What a diff the glasses make! just have to get used to 'em. I hate gettin' old! :{ I'll have to go out and by a Corvette to cope with this Maybe I'll get a new CTD instead Wait- I just did that!..... maybe this getting old stuff 'aint so bad after all.

[Blu-meanie]

Been there... ... . Done that... .....

And, you can look forward to needing them more and more... ... .

 

[swexlin]

Yup, every day ABOVE ground is a good day.

I figure any day I wake up without a chalk line around me is going to be a good day

Hey Frank, I'm glad you got that figured out. I thought it was my code questions that gave ya the migranes. Now I can start the barage of ADT 2006 questions! :{



The chalk line thing is funny, I don't care who ya are. :-laf

Hey Frank, I'm glad you got that figured out. I thought it was my code questions that gave ya the migranes.

How'd that work out w/ Gary & the town? Did you get approvals?

My Great-Grandmother died 2 years ago at the ripe old age of 107. 5 (yep lived in 3 centuries) broke her hip at 103 and we were told "she healed like an 80 year old". Cataract surgery around 100. Son, you have a long way to go... ... ... ... ... ... .

 

[fkovalski]

... Son, you have a long way to go... ... ... ... ... ... .

Good words!



I hope it's in the genes too... . My dad will be 90 this year! Oo.

Everything went through w/o any problems. We overwhelmed them with details and sheets of specs to explain how it was going to be done. MAJOR thanks Frank!

Yeeesh, I'm standing on the edge of the same abyss



I've even got to the point of putting on the +1. 5 reading glasses at Wally World and Albertsons just for a test drive. Peeking at myself in the mirror - arrrrgggghhh. Even have it rationalized that the local Game Warden and some of the outfitters need cheaters too.



Sigh, one of these days I'll cave in too. Maybe for my 54th birthday, in nine days and counting down. :-laf

 

[Ol'TrailDog]

Well, I caved. When I was at the Dollar Store in Lander I picked up four, yes count them, four pair of cheaters. After I had to ask the clerk at Kathy's Koffee in Dubois if a T-shirt said Large and I couldn't read the labels on the cans at the Dollar Store it was time to throw in the towel. Besides, for a buck I couldn't go wrong.



See, new glasses :-laf

 

[bighammer]

I've had glasses to see far since I was a kid. Now I have to take them off to read. (and just when I'm figuring they're getting good enough a the corrective surgury for me to consider having it done, I'd probably end up with reading glasses anyway)

I still feel young. (after I wake up and work out the morning stiffness and remeber what I was going to do)
