"defy laws of nature"

[retro_eidas]

....So says the Flexon ad of my particular model of glasses. Do they "defy nature"? Hardly. I got them because I'm not exactly the most graceful person in the world and these wire frames (yeah, I know) were supposedly able to resist a lot of abuse ... I've had them for about seven months and the bridge snapped like a little twig today. Bu-bye $240. ::tries not to toss desk chair out the window relieving frustrations:: I think I've had it with wire frames. Maybe it's about time I went down the trendier road with the dark, plastic frames?

Why haven't I gotten Lasic surgery yet? Oh yeah. Because I'm a chickenshit. I'll have to ask myself that question again after I drop a few hundred more dollars on supposedly indestructible, super-flexible frames.

*looks at trifocals*

Ugh, I bounced right passed the point of having that surgery, right into trifocals. I can't see at all now...well, I can...but you get the idea.

And I have kids who can find all sorts of ways to destroy "indestructible" frames and lenses.

What am I saying? I don't know exactly, except that I now buy glasses at Walmart. Cheap frames that last about as long as the higher priced designer models.

I hate glasses...with a passion.

I probably should go to Wal-Mart... but I know I'm going to end up at Pearle Vision or something probably buying some over-priced, trendy frame since I'm both dumb and picky. Then end up breaking those frames... and the vicious cycle continues.
