you didn't?

i knew i was thick-skinned but this is ridiculous. i didn't feel a thing

woo-hoo, i finally got my new glasses

picture this: a cross between a and a

I just got new glasses too! Picture this: a cross between a and a

i have seen pictures of you, so i know that can't be true. you are a very lovely young woman . but don't take my word for it. ask tj

still, a very funny remark

Oh, that TJ is always waxing poetic about my beauty ... but then again, that's his job!

And you haven't seen pictures of me in my new glasses! Pure , I tell you!

i will not believe it till you have shown me new pictures

So you're calling me a liar?!

A liar and a ... it hasta improve from here!

oh, i'm sure it will

once shea has sent me those photos

That might be a while ... After all, they're my -y *bifocals*!

what? your are only on *bi*focals?

Yes!





I mean no!




I mean ...

Don't worry Shea - the doctor told me that it was time for me to get bifocals also, only I wear contacts. They do have bifocal contacts, they are weighted so that they always float in the same position in your eye. However the eyedoctor discouraged me from getting them because (in his words) "they're crap". What they do instead is they give a contact in one eye for distance, and in the other for close up. Then your eyes blend the two and make your brain believe both eyes can see both distance and close up! 95% of the time it works, however the other 5% I find myself closing one or the other eyelid trying to figure out depth perception

I'm sure the innocent passerby's just think I'm winking at them!

oh

you mean you weren't?



ps: the next step for me will be to get contacts so i can see out to my glasses who then take over and do the rest of the eye-w*rk

I've had my bifocals for years. This is just my *new* pair.

is this turning into a competition?

i've had bifocals for six years

- but only because i talked my opticion out of giving me some years before that

as for the eyepatch i might as well wear one in RL also. i only see somthing like 10 percent with my right eye

but since i was born that way i've never thought of that as a being a problem. not as such, anyway. but of course i sometimes worry that something might happen to my left eye .

but hey, we will cross that bridge if we get there. no sooner

::puts extra cushioning around Pierce's left eye::

There! No more worries!

*removes all sharp objects from Pierces fanclub, so that just in case he might be tempted to run with a sharp object and fall and put his eye out - he won't be able to!*

::runs and falls head first into the ::

At least there's no sharp edges there!
