OT: Picture this....

I thought I would share this with all you mature posters.  I have worn hard contact lens since 1975.  Yes, hard lens, an allmost unheard of thing.  Anyway I have a eye infection and can't wear them.  My glasses are the same ones I wore in 1975.  When I went to the eye Dr.  My eye dr. is just one year olere than me and remembered the style very well. I didn't think he would stop laughing.  My co-workers were just about ready to fall on the floor.  One of they is now calling me Simon and Peebody.  Remember Rocky and Bullwinkle?  She even sent me a e-mail with a picture of the charactors.  Wish I could send it on.  But I am compurter challenged.
I keep asking for a new glasses perscription but the dr. says don't fill it, you will just waste your money.

Birdie--or Simon for the next few days.   Maybe you all will laugh just thinking about it

I would think they would be in style right now. Cannot imagine hard contacts. I can barely deal with my daily ones.

there's Mr. P and Birdie!

but actually, it is SHERMAN, my boy!

I loved the way-back machine! and all the puns ~ surprize!

also the fractured fairy tails and aesops fables - they were all some brilliant little shows! including R&B!

and I think I have a picture of the wifey around here somewhere in HER Mr. P glasses, too, but I don't think she-who-must-be-obeyed would allow it to be posted

[have you looked into - pardon the pun - lazic treatments, changed the wifey's lifey!]

cheers,
Ringo......is a...... [not that lesson, this lesson!]

no doubt about it, I gotta get a new hat!

First birdie i won't laugh at you because
! I ordered contacts (soft ones) and couldn't put them in my eyes the woman gave up and said she never saw
such a case but it totally freaked me out putting something in my eyes! ?!?
2. i wanted new glasses from around that time period
but my doctor just laughed at me and said "everyone is wearing the small frames now" ick but since i only wear them to drive or watch TV/movies didn't care as much i say more power to you!! i did find Jackie O sunglasses
so we can look for each other In Newport! !!
and Ringo love your pictures once again !!

Pathetic as it sounds, when my frames, ca 1982, broke, I actually hunted for a place that would have those way over sized ones!

Thanks Ringo,
                       That is the picture my good friend e-mailed me.  I had forgotten his name was Sherman, not Simon.  I was close though.  Sad to say that is what I look like right now.  At least I can laugh.  She had me doing the little saying thing and going around in circles like he did in the cartoon.  Hey, what are good friends for.  I will miss her when I start me new job the 8th.  We are the kind of co-workers they have to seperate when we have meetings.   I am not kiddling, we tend to cause trouble and stir the pot.

My Dr. says lazer won't work on my eyes.  I think he said that because he likes to have a good laugh when I come in with those on.  

I like the fact Sherman has Mr. P. and I have my little white pooch.  

Birdie--or lately know as Sherman

You must do pretty well with them to have used them so long. I read a sales piece on then in the eye dr.'s place and they had me convinced. Then the dr. just sputtered over the very idea!

The thing I dislike about the short term ones is they actually change shape.  But I had a LOT of trouble at first and had to get an oversized type, the more typical size would peel right off my eye. So, I doubt much that I could wear the hard.
