  1. I got new eyeglasses yesterday. Everything looks crisp and clear with my
    new prescription. ๐Ÿ™‚ Anyway... I decided to go with a pair that is more bold
    than my usual choice. You can't tell in the picture, but they are kind of
    maroon/wine colored. What do you think?

  2. The new shape definitely looks better on your face.

  3. Thank you! ๐Ÿ™‚

    My husband said they make me look like a librarian. I didn't see that at
    all until he pointed it out. However, he thinks librarians are very sexy,
    so coming from him I'm taking it as a compliment.

    Huge improvement! You fast-forwarded three decades from the "1970's
    lovechild" look to the 2000's just by changing your glasses! Good for you
    Spring; you look great!

    I agree. I think the old ones were alittle too close a match to your face
    shape. The new ones look much better. They draw attention to your eyes and
    allow more view of your eyebrows which gives you more expression.

    Side Note: Since people are reading this let me pop a general note in.
    Anyone who has bifocals and uses a computer alot MUST talk to their
    optometrist about getting computer glasses. Or at LEAST get a cheap ugly
    pair with just the lower lens as a full prescription (referred to as
    reading glasses). It moved me from 2 hours a day before I lost interest for
    unknown reasons, to be able to spend all day again on the computer (yeah I
    know thats not necessarily a good thing)

    I solved that problem a different way. Trifocals. Middle lens is perfect
    distance for computing. Bottom for reading. Top for closely examining
    details on the lunar surface.

    Really. Except for that last part.

    My mother got those for work, with bifocals she could see across the room
    and she could see to read but she couldn't see the stuff on her desk.

  10. My bifocals aren't good for the computer as I have to bend my neck up too
    far. I agree on computer or reading glasses for the computer.

    That's what I got *tri*focals. The middle lens lets me keep my head in a
    comfortable position without all that neck aerobics going on.

  12. I meant to type trifocals. I have had tris for years. Still too much head
    tilting and you have to get them positioned just right.

    You look great! The shape and frame of your new specs really perked up
    your face, good choice! ๐Ÿ™‚

    So move the monitor. Raise or lower your chair. Use a different kind of
    desk. I mean there are many choices to help you not have to accommodate
    yourself to the hardware.

  15. It's so much easier to use comfortable glasses. I mostly use my laptop now
    and vary my position, the reading glasses make the whole computer screen
    easily visible from any angle. I also wear reading glasses when reading the
    newspaper as I find the trifocals uncomfortable for that. I am adapting the
    hardware, i.e., glasses.

    He's obviously lying. Go with contact lenses, silicone BI, and the
    French Maid outfit. Trust me.

  17. I like your new glasses - very flattering!
    I am *really* impressed w/ your weightloss. I am just starting and your
    progress is so very encouraging because I'm just starting,
    Brava!

    Looks good. For an even more drastic change try contact lenses
    (especially tint enhancers), could really open up your face.
    People wont even recognize you!!

    Are you teasing me? Does "BI" stand for breast implants?
    Did you see my picture?
    I'm already a DDD and quite perky on my own... I don't think I need any help
    in that area, but who knows, I could be mistaken.
