Back in the saddle again. My lovely wife comes up with a solution for my glasses problem we can afford.



So she comes home tonight from work with a pair of Jake Blues style sunglasses that she bought for $3.00 on sale. Gloriosky, but after punching out the tinted lenses, they actually work with my old prescription lenses. This should get me through until my next check. Will be back posting tomorrow.

Hey Mike no fair I once tried that but couldn't get mine to fit.
Good thinking on your wife's part.

Keep up the fight.

Have you looked at Zenni Optical or 39 dollar glasses? I get my backups from them after I burn up my insurance allowance.

You shouldn't have posted that, it is no doubt illegal to do optometry without a license, or a prescription for the lenses, or to convert semi-auto sunglasses to full-auto prescription glasses. The nice eye doc was just trying to help, he didn't want you getting into trouble by doing something the politicians forbade you to.

You saw that news report last year about the retired guy in Florida making dentures for his neighbors on the cheap? And his customers were happy? But the LEOs hauled him off for making dentures without being a dentist? His neighbors tsk-tsk'ed at the LEOs and expressed disapproval to reporters, but that's all they
