  Question About Eyeglasses

  by Big Tex in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my wife just spent $900 on 4 pair of eyeglasses.

  is it just me, or is that waaaaaay too much money?

  i don't wear glasses anymore (laser surgery), but isn't this too much?

  About five years ago i spent over 600.00 on exam / lenses (with coating) / frames / and a pair of contacts. I think 4pr. for 900.00 is pretty good but a bit of a shock all at once.

  Use the code with the pointy brackets or whatever they are called. From the "tag" line.

  It was the beer, I forgot which code i used last night.
  
  I use Firefox when I visit here, I can send PMs but not quote nor use the cute lil' smileys and roses and beermugs like others do.
  
  I got this to post using photobucket as my picture host. I put the file here on JWD and i don't know if that was necessary,but then I used the HTML from the photobucket site and boom, there I am.

  But that's not the screwed up part...
  
  My coworkers and bosses on two different occasions met and hung out. They called me and offered to pay for my drinks and/or brunch as good friends would, knowing full well I would be generous once I was flush again. I am a generous man by my nature, I've treated my friends more times than I can recall. But I couldn't take them up on their offer. I remember how, many years ago when my marriage was in flames. I ate with the brothers™ several times. When my car broke down I got rides to the meetings™ and out in field service™.
  
  It turned out, they were talking about me behind my back. Like how I always knew when it was time for dinner. And they lorded these acts of kindness© over my head, telling me the cheap car I bought so I could get to work was not suitable for the ministry™. And how I needed to repay the people who helped me.
  
  I was afraid my current friends would be like god's people™. I know they aren't like that in my head but that sick bOrg has left a minefield on my soul. Hidden little nuggets that make a mess even though I think myself a free man.
  
  The good thing is at least I can see this instance for what it is and move on. Next time I take them up on a night out.

  I can only speak for myself, but I believe in a creative force that set things in motion but doesn't really give a damn about what happens to me or anyone else for that matter.
  
  I believe in taking charge of your own life and being responsible for your thoughts and actions.
  
  I believe the list you have presented does not have any relavence to my life at this time.
