"OCTOBER 2016" WHATS FOR DINNER

Are they nesting sets? How many sets? What material and do they have lids or handles?

Now days they just shrug their shoulders and walk away....

They cost $29.99 on Amazon.
Now that my eyes are done and new lenses are installed, these adjustable ones work a lot better.

I will surely need new glasses, but that will be later for sure!

It's funny. Before the surgery, I saw everything in a blur. Now, I see somewhat clear, and as I look in the mirror, I see a face, that looks like a coconut. All cracks and blotches. Droopy Eye Lids and all! .....LOL

Jimmy, I was curious about those glasses wondering if they would work. What are they called and have you used them for driving?

Debbie, I bought them through Amazon. They sell them at some Walmarts too. They didn't work for driving, but after my cataracts are removed, I can turn the little screws, and sight them in for Nearsightedness ( looking far away ), and they are clear for the first time in 6 years. So NOW I can see driving.

My reading vision is not too good, but with these glasses, I can adjust them for looking close and reading, and I see great.



They are not pretty, but they work. I paid $34.00 for them.
See the little adjuster knobs on each side at top of the glasses? Those are the knobs to sight them in.

Beth, you had me going back and reading my messages from last night when I saw this.  My first thought was that I'm getting so old not only did I do something funny, but I forgot what I did!  But when I didn't see anything, I figured you must've meant to say that to Bugster/Debbie when she dumped that spice all over her and her kitchen.  

Debbie, I chastise Brian every time he puts a cap on something but doesn't tighten it.  I just KNOW I'm going to do what you did and then I told him I'm going to have to kill him!!  AND I'm going to need help cleaning it up.  What a drag!

Bugster2 wrote:Thanks Jimmy. When Katie got infected with the Cytomegalovirus (CMV) it affected her vision. When she reads she uses reading glasses and a magnifying glass. She is going to give these glasses a try. I ordered them for her through BBB because we got 20% off and free shipping. Plus, if she can't see out of them there will not be any issues returning them to the store. They are hideous looking but you manage to look ok in them. Katie is just going to use them for reading but she might see how they work for driving.

cookingirl wrote:Jimmy, you look really good it those glasses. Glad you found something that helps..

from what I have heard, it is really hard going through the unequal vision after having one eye with cataract surgery. Your vision is off and glasses are almost impossible to use because the vision is so off.

It is good to know that there is an alternative..

Glad you found it..

BTW, you do look good in that picture.. I was also wondering if you lost weight? You can see it in your face...

Tonight was 'Clean-Out-the-Refrigerator' supper.  I reheated the leftover marinated/grilled London broil, lightly fried the leftover acorn squash and made a huge bowl of beans/corn/onion/bacon.  It's amazing how much room you DON'T have when your refrigerator is full of leftover dishes.
