Thanks, kis!

Nak, don’t worry about the vision. I mean, obviously I married one of you insufferable Perfect Vision people, so I don’t hate all of you.

And that picture isn’t too bad, no…but it’s rare. Very rare indeed.

Beautiful graphic, December. And it was a bit sluggish to load, but no worse than anyone else's. Congrats on the sales to EC!

I suppose this would be a bad time to confess I also have better than 20/20 vision? If it's any consolation, though, I have so many floaters in my vitreous humor that when I go out in the sun I feel like I'm standing in a swarm of gnats.

And for someone who claims she "doesn't photograph well," that pic is great.

You could just buy frames, Isabella, and put clear glass in them. Some people look really nice in glasses, I've just never thought I was one of them.

Thanks Sonya! I admit I am really falling in love with the new site.

Oooh! Me likey!

Great new look, December. I really like the new website, too. It loaded quickly, no waiting for me. I have a cable modem, though… but it still was quite fast.

CONGRATS on your new sales to EC!!!

I used to want glasses so badly when I was a kid. I still would kind of like a pair.

I SWEAR my vision is not perfect, but he doctors always tell me it's better than perfect and I need to go bother someone else.

(Cos I go in there asking for glasses... lol)

But honest, I am JUST GUESSING! the letters at the bottom! It's just luck that I get them correct!

Hmm. Well, shit. I guess I could guess something I know for sure it isn't.

Doh.

Maybe I need a *different* kind of doctor...............

Cool, Bernard, good to know. I’d hate to switch everything to a new site and have it be slow-loading.

Thanks, Michele. I actually think I photograph terribly but that one wasn’t too bad, so…

Thanks ea! And welcome! Your blog is fascinating.
And yeah, I shudder to think how thick my lenses would be if not for the super-thins. They hurt my nose even before I started wearing lenses (right around the time they started doing the thinner glasses) and even the thin ones stick out on either side of my frames.

Hi December.
Your new site has a clean and sharp look and loads fast! I’ve worn contacts for many years, but now wear my glasses, especially when I want to see! Put me in the blind as a bat category. The newer feather-weight lenses sure beat those pop-bottle lenses of the old days!

Your site loaded here at work even on my back-up dial-up. I’m nearsighted too, and have worn glasses since third grade. Great line, Bernita. He’ll get a laugh out of it, D.

“Dramatic” is a good word, Bernita… And I’m totally going to steal that line.

Thanks V95! Yep, all of her is cute!

Oh, I hate wearing glasses, Bunnygirl, always have. I remember the day I got my contacts as one of the greatest days of my life (I was almost 12).
