More Booze, Babble & Bananas

Hey!

I finally had to get glasses. It's my first day with them, and I hate them! I feel like I have my own personal funhouse. Everything seems warped.

Do I have to admit they're bifocals? ugh.

If it makes you feel any better I had bifocals in fifth grade :rolleyes1

Are they pretty frames?
 
Guess what? I'M FREE--NO MORE JURY DUTY!!!!!!! Yay!!!!!

I got lucky. They called us in about 9:30, dismissed the last group they questioned (they picked 4 more jurors, so they now had 5), and they picked the next group--and I got included in the group. So we were questioned by the judge, then by the prosecuting attorney. I told her I was uncomfortable with how graphic I thought stuff was going to be. (now that I'm done, I'll tell you it was a child sex abuse case--a boy who was 6 was abused for 3 years). They finished questioning us at 11, then sent us off until 2. Came back, they called us in at 2:30, I was excused along with 11 others. (so now they had 8 jurors). So we were sent back to the main room, we were all hoping we were done. The guy in charge asked us how many jurors--we told him 8--he said that was good, and we were done--going home!!! So I actually got home about a half hour ago, and I am so happy.
 
If we're talking eye glasses/contacts here, I went to the doctor at the end of June. He asked me how old I am, I told him, he said "bifocal time". I knew that was coming because the last time I got a new contact lens perscription, he told me that the lenses I use "don't come in bifocal" :scared1: I wear contacts & reading glasses when I need to read small print, but I hate the idea of spending $$$$$ on glasses when I only wear them a few hours a day.

I love contacts, been wearing them off & on--mostly on--since I was 22. Beth, have you tried them recently? They are so thin & light you don't even feel them. I wear disposables, you wear them for 14 days & then throw them out. Try them again, you might really be surprised. For me, it's not about vanity, but you really see better with them.

I'm glad you were able to get out of it. What a sad case.

Yeah, it's been 15 years since my wedding so I'm sure they've come a long way since then. I just have really sensitive eyes and I hate having anything in there. I don't know. My glasses don't bother me. I've worn them so long they are a part of me now. I feel naked without them! :scared1: :scared:

We'll keep that part quiet. ;)

I'm jealous you just got them. I'm blind as a bat! My contact lense prescription is so high some companies don't go up to that strength.
And my coke bottle glasses? They look horrible- even at the thinner lenses. :rotfl:

Afternoon everyone!

Missy, I hope you don't get picked.

I have glasses too. And I'm blind as a bat without them as well. Last time I wore contacts was for my wedding in June of 93. I hated contacts.

Sucks to be you three :rolleyes1

Where are you going camping??

I think Ryan's still going to take the time off since he does have a bunch of paid time off to use anyhow, we just won't be doing much. LOL. My aunt gave the kids Six Flags comp tickets for their birthday, so we'll probably go there. Maybe a day at the zoo (or maybe an overnight depending on what we can find this late in the game), maybe a day in Boston, I dunno really.

Then at the end of the week hopefully we can get some stuff done while the kids are at school- we have some paint waiting for some rooms and the hallway and I really want to tile the backsplash in the kitchen. :confused3

I think I'm going to try to figure out something for next year and book it so I can have something to look forward too because I'm going nutty not knowing when I can escape CT again. Maybe we'll go to Chicago and visit my brother Nick and the kids' new friend Auntie Anita ;) Actually, my brother did say there is a lot for the kids to do there- aquariums, museums,pier, etc.....

I hope that nothing is wrong with the OP from the neighbor thread since she did say she has some sort of disease but man when you start something like that at least pop in and say "nothing new here"

We're camping in Oregon Illinois, yippee :rotfl: I would rather be camping at Fort Wilderness

Chicago does have a lot to do for kids, not so much a fun place like WDW, but more of a relaxed kinda thing ! I love going to the Museums and downtown, honestly if I had a better sense of direction I would spend more time down there ! If you come, I would gladly meet up with you and my new Nephew & Nieces :banana:


Missy glad you don't have to serve on that case, wow thats sad
 
Good morning all

Missy, glad you're done with jury duty for a few years now!:thumbsup2
 
Good Morning !! :yay:

Breakfast anyone ??

Good morning!

I'll pass on the oatmeal. Anyone got some cereal and blueberries? :yay: That's what I usually have.
 
:eek: I want some!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you have a really good Chinese place near your work?

Yes. Not a fancy place, it has some tables, but I wouldn't want to sit there & eat. But the food is good, reasonably priced & there's a lot. I got sweet & sour chicken with pork fried rice & an egg roll for $5.10. Not too bad for midtown NYC.
