Homeshopping network and 75

75, thats the age my mom was when she started referencing products that she'd heard of on HSN. I'm not certain if she's bought any yet, but many have caught her eye. Most recently its the WOW bra. She said she wanted to get it, but then, she heard from a friend that was equally impressed with the infommercial and had actually purchased it.... she said she'd wait until her friend's had arrived, and just try it on then.

Bifocals--- Really?

So my last eye exam was two years ago and I was told my vision hadn't changed much, my current script for glasses, which was two years old, was fine. So, naturally I was shocked when I heard the optometrist say that I need bifocals... then he added "well, you're about the right age" REALLY? I'm 42?
So I offered my new standard response that "40 is the new 60." He didn't laugh, he was probably 60, and, he was ugly, but that's not relevant, and perhaps petty on my part, since I was blindsided by the new script... but come on bifocals, really?
I've had them now for six hours, and the only thing that I've noticed so far is that the letters that show up when your change your password on Google, you know that funky curved script on a word that may not be a word, well, they're no longer blurry... I just assumed that they were designed to be blurry. So if those letters and numbers are blurry to you, you might be joining the bi- club.
