well, I recently went to the eye doctor to get a new prescription, and he found a 5mm object impaled in my right cornea. It would still be there if I did a home test.

I'll bet you STILL thought twice about scheduling that next colonoscopy

haha, "next"

{sigh}

"right away at the office"? why do I want to go to an office again?

Anyway, you apparently are ready to enlighten me. There's a 1st time for everything, I guess. Links to other sources, please - Opternative doesn't want my business; I'm evidently too mature for their service.

You go to the office so they can see if your eyes are healthy and get the prescription right away

I'll post a few links later. Two friends at work have recommended a place to me for glasses and contacts

You're focusing on the "right away" part when smoothy is objecting to the "go to the office" part

I know, he asked why he should go. That's why I think you should

No, no no no no no no no. No no. No.

No, you don't understand.

I don't want to go to an office.

I don't need to go to an office. I need to get a damn pair of glasses, and I don't need a "new" prescription; I need one an online glasses vendor will take to send me a pair of glasses without me having to go anywhere I don't want/need to go to get said lousy pair of glasses.

why is it a "pair" of glasses anyway?

This whole "in person" eye exam charade brings out the rabid libertarian in me

You understand me, Buck.

And don't get me started on my colonoscopy exam objections parts

Is it the "go to the orifice" part?

guess I left myself wide open for that

We use pair of glasses because eyes come in pairs. Not in the case of Rooster Cogburn, but usually.

I wear a pair of monocles

I understood. A once a year 20 minute trip isn't a big deal to me, so I was just making sure there wasn't something else about this

At Genos, of course

Working a "mid" shift. 9-530.


Weirdddddd.

Looking to make a weekend trip with the wife, somewhere not far from the city. Any votes for New Hope? Don't know much about it but it looks like it could be a cool spot to spend a night.
