Anyone seen my glasses? I can't find my specs
and I can't see without them.

I remember, when I was a child, and had good eyes, so I didn't understand, really, what "bad vision" meant, I assumed that if one needed glasses one could not see at all without them. So I had this question, when I was three or four years old, if you need glasses, how do you find them in the morning if you can't see? I figured they must have to put their glasses in precisely the same spot every day, or at least make sure they remembered where they put them. I thought it must be terrible to wake up in the morning and realize that one is stuck in an unenviable position of not being able to find the one thing that's necessary for you to find it. Funny how my mind grasped the mathematics of that even at age three or four.

Anyway.

Now that I'm older, nad have needed glasses for almost three decades, and my eyes keep getting worse, I'm almost to the point of not being able to see well enough to find my glasses. :-) I used to be able to read without my glasses - in fact, saw beter without the glasses - but now I can't read without the glasses.

Even typing this I am typing much slower than usual...

help me find my glasses, please?

Oh, the humanity!


(ps. - and the DMV tells me that no, I don't need to wear glasses to drive. Scared me when they told me that, since I know for a fact that I *DO*)

1. Did you take them off to wash your face?
Near the sink, possibly?

5. No, I already checked that one.
That's usually where they are - wash my face before going to bed, and just leave the specs on the toilet. But alas, not today.

2. Make sure that you check the garbage disposal....
...before turning it on.

Trust me on this one.

7. No garbage disposal, so no fear there.
And they aren't in the trash can.

Thanks for the suggestion, though - I think I'd be really miffed if I had lost my glasses to the disposal. Sounds like you did!

11. Great. I thought you were going to have to post a thread in ATA.
Just like NSMA did when she lost her keys. :D

12. I was tempted to do that, and see if I could keep the thread alive
as she did.

:spank:

But I didn't.

Maybe some day, when I'm part of the "cool people" clique, I can do that. :-)

14. LOL!
I once found them on my face - running around the apartment for a minute or two, desperate for the glasses because I was leaving, and finally touched my face or something and realized I was already wearing them. Of course, someone else was here to see it happen and make fun of me.

16. Making a fool of yourself
must be witnessed or it isn't fun.

18. Is your briefcase missing? ...
Do you hear strange sounds in the attic ?

Could be another Oscar sighting.

Cheers
