 NB>>> For now, I suppose two pairs of glasses... or just holding things
 NB>>> close without the glasses might have to do for close...
 ML>> Another pair would be a crushing expense.
 NB>> I was thinking more of either your old glasses or buying cheater

 ML> Cheaters don't exist at +10. I think they go to 3 diopters or so.

Hummmm... I thought they went a little higher than 3, but haven't really
been paying that much attention... 10 probably is a little too high,
though....

I can relate to that... one of Deb's and my usual lunch choices decided
that they'd take Tuesdays as their day off... It took a number of tries
before we realized that that was why they were never open when we showed
up after my rub... then we went on a different day, and saw the new
hours sign posted....  ;)
