Huu-huuuu. I turned 40 only three weeks ago and now am getting glasses. I'm feeling old, someone please tell me I look like 20    . Nah, not really. I'm all right. 

Don't get glasses. Get contacts!

I'm back!       Thanks for doing the Top Ten List.    I have been sick the past couple of days.   

I feel alittle better, so i'm going to try to go to work later.       

YAY! We were beginning to have nutmeg withdrawal!!

Oh David, I'm sorry to hear that. Being sick and sad at the same time is definitely not what you needed right now!

Feel better, we're thinking of you.

David, it's good to see you back.  Sorry you had that to deal with along with our other sadness.

Morning all,

18 degrees this morning and sunny! I am off to Florida for a very quick trip so I will be reporting in from Tampa tomorrow. David, all my liquids are packed in a little ziplock bag, you'll be happy to know!

I'm with you on the glasses after 40, Chrissi.  After a lifetime of devouring countless books, I basically stopped reading anything except for novels and newspapers on my Palm and computer, because I could adjust the font size.  I did that for about two effin years.  Then I got prescription glasses but didn't like them.  Now I wear drugstore glasses - a lot.  And I do eat with them on.  I hear you, Leslie, about fuzzy food.

Also I need a lot more light to read than I used to.  After an entire childhood reading in bed with the lights off, by the flicker of half a photon, I now need to be sure whatever I'm reading is tilted so the lamp shines right on it.

I actually had this thought this evening as I was putting deodorant after my shower (may be TMI for some) - when I was younger, I used to have to wash frequently, because with all the teen spirit, I smelled pretty quickly.  On the other hand, I had perfect vision.  Now I can actually wear the same shirt I did yesterday, with no stank, but I can't see worth a damn...

Hello everyone,

Greetings from Florida. Well, I should say, Greetings from the Marriott. That's about as much as I have seen of Florida. It is dark outside. Temperature? Who knows, warmer than Maine.

I was at dinner last night with my publisher and pulled out my $9.99 magnifying glasses. My publisher said, "Oh cute, glasses!" and I was stunned. No one had ever even noticed them before! LOL
