LOL, once the doctors get your number, I think they pass it around like a stolen credit card.

Thank God that all you need are bifocals, got mine 40 years ago.

There is a trick to learning to use them.

Turn on the tv, sit down with the white pages of a phone book, read the phone book, while looking up every few minutes at the tv, following both of them and not loosing your place in the book.

After a couple hours, plus may a few minutes of it for a couple days, you will not see the ‘line’ in your glasses.

I have been in tri-focals for years and it is rare that I know which section I am seeing with.

I know what you mean about the craft sites, they are so full of ideas and I simply cannot play with crafts any longer.

Take care and do not let yourself get run down, too many of of your loved ones need you.

As for Crayolas, I think they are fun....instant iron on art, by intent, or because a kid left them in his pocket and it went into a dryer.........

Thanks for the bifocal tip—I’ll test it out as soon as I get my glasses next week! Hate wearing glasses, but I’m past the stage where I can ignore it anymore. Can’t see anything very far away. I’m sure staying on the computer doesn’t help any! If I didn’t have to drive, I wouldn’t care!

I agree totally about the drs. i think they’re jsut trying to see how many appts I can cram in before I completely run out of money/patience.

I found some of the coolest flannel material—baby blue with sheep on it. Am going to make some pj pants for me/gifts. So many things to do, so little time! LOL

Crayons make a wonderful, multi-colored, permanent deck varnish. My kids left a 64 pack out on the deck—about ten years ago in the middle of summer. That part of the deck is still colorfully waterproof. Who’da thot it? LOL
