Flying my Nerd Flag - Got New Eyeglasses...

[RetroLounge]

My eyes were getting bad and my old glasses didn't help much anymore.

These are Ray Bans, progressives, and are the most comfortable glasses I've ever worn. I forget they are even on...

Oh, and I can see again, so I got that going for me.

9. I'm calling foul

He looks geeky in that pic, but he can look damn smooth when he wants to. He's not a true geek, trust me. I'm the real deal. You're right, geeks really aren't that sexy.

3. I started wearing glasses for the first time in my life 5 years ago.

And like an idiot I would get wire frames and they would bend and twist,etc. So my next pair of glasses is going to have huge, thick, frames. I would like to be able to see too. :-(

If you don't mind me asking. If I offended, I didn't mean to. I just know she was having a cancer scare, and my mom had cancer too. :hug:

She's going thru the chemo now and it was rough for awhile, but they changed the treatment and she's doing much better.

24. Lookin' sharp!

Dude, I've worn glasses since I was six years old (very nearsighted) and I needed them BEFORE that!
Now I'm over 40 and in bifocals & sometimes I wear contacts (monovision - one eye is near focus and one is far).

My new cause I have to tell everyone about is CHEAP GLASSES ON THE NET!!!
