eye glasses

I went to get new eyeglasses.

After most of my life wearing contact lenses, I felt that eyeglasses were the way.

For one reason, bifocals are needed to see distances. With my contacts, as friends know, I would slide one of the contacts to the side to be able to read things. Yep – I would literally slide the contact away from my pupil so I could read close-up things.

But as time went on, lenses are needed for close-up viewing, too. So, it’s eyeglasses with bifocals – the old man way.

I went to a well-known eyeglass place, and the lady asked me as I entered, if I was there any of their deals. Of course, I said yes, what else was I going to say?

I told her I was there for the deal that gives two pairs of glasses and an exam for $79.00. She replied with something like, “Well pick out what you like on that back wall over there. You see it?”

I replied, “No, I don’t see it. That’s why I’m here.”

While other people that were there, laughed at what was my idea of being funny, she took it seriously and apologized for saying that. I had to tell her it was a joke.

In the end, I left with one pair and paid $190.00. So much for the $79.00 deal that shows on my tv every few minutes. All lies, I guess, including another promise broken – the one-hour production time, turned into 2 weeks for some reason. So I actually paid $190.00 and left empty-handed.

I’ll show you the look when the glasses are ready. In two weeks.

Till next time . . .
