Here's a question for the class:

To which I'd probably know the answer if I'd been paying proper attention...

Is there a good national chain or mail-order* place for getting decent eyeglasses that don't break the bank, that anyone cares to recommend? (*I guess we don't really say mail-order much any more, do we? We just say "online"?)

I sat down at the keyboard yesterday to casually sightread through some music and was shocked, shocked at how poor my medium distance is in my current (old) glasses. It's better in contacts, but I don't wear them on a daily basis like I used to.

If you belong to Costco we have had very good luck with the glasses there for the past several years. If you don't belong to Costco it is probably worth it just for the optical servicesthe last time I went to LensCrafters it was more than $600 for my specs.... We just paid less than that for specs for all three of us

I've belonged to Costco since our local one opened in 1993, and I walk by that department all the time. Why I haven't thought of that, I don't know. Thanks, vixmom!

I am just back from the clinic where I was diagnosed with "acute bronchitis"

Oy!!!

vixmom · « **Reply #33 on:** December 30, 2015, 07:02:18 AM »

I just picked up my meds and since the clinic and pharmacy are literally around the corner I stopped back here to eat a bowl of oatmeal so I could take my meds

Fight the good fight vibes for DR VIXMOM.

I think CostCo is a good solution DR CHAS SMITH. If however you want an EXTRA pair, I have had good luck with EyeBuyDirect.com

Good morning, all.

Good health vibes to one and all, especially Vixmom.

My AT&T woes continue. I came home last night to discover that my service had been discontinued. Not just disconnected. My whole account had disappeared

That means in the last few weeks, that incompetent company has had me on the phone for more than three hours trying to get stuff straightened out only to have them simply obliterate my service.

And of course, you can't get anybody after hours who can actually help you.

John G. · « **Reply #44 on:** December 30, 2015, 07:37:14 AM »

So, after spending a half hour on the phone this morning, they are offering me a $100 VISA gift card as an apology. Of course, the problem isn't over. My service won't be reconnected until tomorrow morning.

I almost wanted to decline the card. Almost.

Fred, I love your lyrics. They reminded me of the first "professional" musical I ever saw live. It was at the Actors Theater of Louisville, and it was in the fall after the first Star Wars was released.

It was an outer space rock musical version of "Titus Andronicus." I loved that show, though all my memories of it are campy at best.

I even have the T-shirt, which has a cartoon on it with Titus telling off the evil villainess: "A pie fit for a space queen. In it you'll find you're two murdering sons."

I think with all the weight I've lost this year, I might be able to wear it again.

George, I have long loved this photo you posted yesterday. Back when I was in college, the German department had an exhibit of August Sander's photographs (my sister Annaliese was a German major at the time, so I knew what they were doing). This was the cover photo of the booklet that went with the exhibit. I wonder if I still have that somewhere in my boxes and boxes of playbills, papers, etc.

I am making a huge pot of ham and bean soup for tomorrow's soup party.

I think I'll pick up a couple bottles of Beano to go with it. Or else a lot of us will be sorry.

I'm up and about! Tried to fixed the D5 on my electric piano as the action hasn't been great - I may have loosened it a bit, but it's still sluggish.

I've been recording a piece for 2 pianos, 8 hands - it's the Moderato Quasi Marche from Dvorack's Serenade. I'm working on duets/quartets to see if it's a good idea to put a out a home grown CD called "Playing with Myself".... <no groans please> So far, it's fun.

ChasSmith - yes they went out. If anyone was supposed to get them as a perk or if they ordered and haven't gotten, I need to know right now.

Hello, everyone.

MEGA health vibes to VIXMOM and all DRs who are ailing!

(That means you, too, Ginny.)

I was up at ten and had to give the final once-over - there was still one really tiny nitpick spacing thing on one song but it was so small and insignificant that I just left it alone - no one will ever even notice it. So, it's approved and already up for sale in the Create Space store - it should be live on Amazon in the next couple of days.

Jeanne · « **Reply #58 on:** December 30, 2015, 11:16:22 AM »

I shall be meeting our very own BK in a couple hours.

Jeanne · « **Reply #59 on:** December 30, 2015, 11:17:15 AM »

Vixmom, you should NOT be at work!

Vibes you feel better soon!
