I hate reading glasses. I don't hate them for reading, they're good for reading. But if you happen to look up from reading and you look at ANYTHING else, it's all a foggy blur. I can read without my reading glasses, but they do make reading easier, plus I don't get a headache after reading for a while (perhaps I should be wearing them right now - but the computer screen has more contrast than the page, so I feel like it's not really necessary). I just have a shorter range to see close-up anymore, so I have a mild prescription for reading glasses. Is it me, or is it extremely annoying to have to take them off every single time I look up? I know, I want to be writing the next big thing, so i prefer to read a lot so that my writing skills will sail upward and keep my writing instincts from becoming formulaic. It just sucks that I can't even glance away from the book for even a second without wanting to yank my glasses off. If it sounds like i'm whining, you've got my tone exactly. Thanks for listening, I mean reading.
btw - Don't get me started on the outrageous cost of frames (even those made in China).
You are so lucy to only need reading glasses you funny man if you have those kind that my mom always picked up in the local pharmacy for a couple of bucks, you lucky duck. And, in whatever color that you can think from yellow, brown, green, striped or pink. If you are in that boat, you not a stubborn goat but if glasses make you float than please go ahead and gloat for I must spend 1/2 a paycheck or more to see a far and when they are used and dingy, it must be the tar from the road that I nadar. So you see, you are so lucky if you have those kind of glasses, my dear.
