Quick-Tell me it's going to be OK.....

So, I've been buying lineless bifocals even though I really don't need distance lenses, because keeping my glasses on my face is the best way for me not to lose them (sad but true). But the lineless bifocals are expensive and kind of make me dizzy at times.....

This year I made the decision to grow up, go with readers, and quit paying triple for something I don't need-to start wearing sunglasses and walk around without the "protection" of glasses.  I'm cool with the naked face thing-but I have to have my glasses to read anything at all-and shoving them in my shirt or my pocket just means I'll break them that much sooner.

So, today, I bought one of those leash things......and I'm totally freaked out by it....does this mean I'm OLD? 

Can really  cool, hip people wear eye glass leashes?  I honestly can't believe how much this stupid little string is bugging me. 

You know the old saying "you know you're old when..." LOL!!!  No, you are NOT old!  You just need to see to read is all.  I finally got my husband to give in and just wear his bi-focals all the time because I got tired of him not being able to read when he needed to because he forgot his glasses or I got tired of putting them in my purse!!  I have seen some really cute eyeglass leashes out there.  A gir'ls got to do what a girl's got to do I say!!!

Well, everyone is wearing the new Palen glasses and think they are cool.....I personally think it's just the personality that makes a person cool or not....I know alot of very uncool people with great glasses!!
I got a leash for my glasses too. I still lose them....Lose everything....I just now lose the leash attached to them...I went the eye doctor a year ago and she said my eyes are perfect...just old...Nice! She told me I could get a prescription for glasses that I can just go buy at Walmart....She did tell me that I didn't need as strong of glasses to work on the computer, and I could get whatever I needed to read....Deb, I think the age thing is harder to deal with than just needing glasses....I have to empty out my purse about once a week to find ink pens and glasses. Sometimes I will have over 10 pairs of glasses and up to 30 pens in my purse....I don't ever want to be without either and have no reason for the obsession....NOW that obsession is caused by being old!!
You are cool to all us Deb! We love you !

To Whom It May Concern
It has come to our attention that you are concerned about the eye leash. No fear ya not getting old just more reponsible....

Old is a state of mind.  It has nothing to do with eye glasses on a "leash".  At age 85 my Grandmother was still saying she needed to eat healthy since someday she might be old!  Gotta love that attitude.  You are only as old as you decide to be!

Nah, you're not old. If you find you're trying to "walk" your glasses on that "leash," that's when you'll have something to worry about. :)
I take off and put on my readers so many times that I wear out the screw (only on one side--no clue why). Anyway, I've about decided to buy the all-plastic readers through Carol Wright. You can bend them, and, supposedly, they will never break. They're about $20, but I spend close to that each time I have to replace them.
We're not old, me and thee...we're just getting older day by day. Time marches on. At least we're doing what we can to be healthy and live longer. Just focus on your quality of life--which is really good. :)
Blessings,

You know you are the ONLY person that would refer to it as a 'leash'!! LOL, you can tell you spend a lot of time with animals!
No, not getting older, just better.
I have this cool magnetic jewerly looking thing that I wear on my shirt to hang my glasses on so I don't lose them.  I bought it at my hospital gift shop, it was about 12 dollars.  You want me to send you one?

Ok, I have to recant.

Some of those are really kinda cute. 

Deb - I love your attitude and your approach to life.  You are NOT old.  The eyeglasses leash?  Well, I'll be unpopular but I think that's a bit nerdy.  I'd take up the offer on the previous post for the magnetic thingy. 

WAIT!!!  I just thought about this again.  Do they make the leash with sparkly, glittery rhinestones?  If so, then void the nerdy comment...

Yes, my leash is sparkly....LOL.

I already HAVE a thingy I could hang them on my shirt with-it's called cleavage.....LOL.
