I haven't seen it THAT cheap in about 3 years! I'm jealous!
So glad you're ok! Dehydration is nothing to mess with.Little embarrassing day yesterday. Hubs was dumping dirt on gardens and I was raking hoeing shoveling. Got chest pain and shortness of breath so sat to rest. Did this a few times. Then back at it. Then sat on big tire to rest with it again and next thing I knew was on the ground. Hubs in back of barn on tractor so told the boys go get my son. He brought his EMS bag out and gave me the once over. I was having typical signs of heart attack, he insisted at least we go up to fire house let them check me out. On way there, they get a call so son says let's go to ER. I didn't want to go lol.
Long story short, labs, x-ray and 12 lead all good. Dx chronic dehydration. Got some fluids.
Son got me some drinks for it and I have stuff at home. Thing is, trying to do too much, drinking strong coffee to keep up.
All better today. No more brewed coffee and back on hydration regimen.
Got to find some work around as we get older. Daughter finished the garden prep.
Bless my little grandsons. Jumped right in, didn't panic. One of them has the makings of a fine EMT one day lol.
Hubs and I have managed most of the farm chores all winter. Going to sit down and set up schedule for everyone to help.
Anyway, just a caveat for preps as we get older. I'm pretty active but even so, we got to prep for this too.

fortunately for me (although I didn't think so at the time) I had cataract surgery a couple of years or so ago and all I need are readers. Since I'm use to wearing glasses and I kinda feel naked without them, I wear bifocal readers. I bought a nice selection from ebay after my surgery. I have several different colors in a style I like, but I usually wear red, which is my favorite color anyway.No, I've never checked them out. Thanks for the link. Zenni did have the exact style I wanted, but mine are already ordered, and paid for. Oh well.

I also get the bifocal readers in sunglasses and safety glasses.
Good luck on your new glasses.

I always had trouble picking out frames. I wore rimless frames for awhile, but the people that make the glasses had trouble with no rim with my prescription, so I had to go back to rims. I mean if you can't see well how in the world can you see how frames look. For now though I don't have that problem.I wish I only needed reading glasses, but I have to wear mine all the time. I can't wear contacts, because my eyes are too dry. All of my jewelry is gold, hair is auburn brown, and I wear mostly neutral or earth tone colors, and I wanted gold frames to match. I got the gold frames, but they aren't the style I wanted. I just hope these new ones don't make me look too much like an old granny. I'm 62 almost, but I feel a lot younger. They'll have to do. Cary likes them, so I guess that's all that matters.
I could have shopped around more, but I just wanted to get back home. It was so cold, raining, and windy, and I was sooo tired.

Exactly! Cary took a photo of me with the new glasses on with his phone. That way I could see how I looked in them. Still think I look like a granny! LOL!
Good news is that I am gaining some strength back! Used the weedeater this week with minimal soreness and ability to finish. Planted 300 feet of seed potatoes several weeks ago and my legs survived. Feeling better about myself! Ummm no Ninja Warrior here either but I can still run pretty fast!
Me, too! Before I moved, I'd go to an eyeglass shop with a fashionable friend and have her help me pick out several
different frames. Then I would try to order those from Zenni or find something similar for a cheaper price. I sure don't
want to pay $200+ for frames!
Ultra liberal SIL said that and I told her she needed to know the secret passwords. She listened very attentively as I told her she'd need to come up to the gate and shout out: "We brought our own food and ammo!". I swear if looks could kill, I'd be pushing up daisies.I feel kind of behind on preps. My inlaws moved and I've been helping them so bare minimum has been done/bought here. Not sure I'm done with the going back and forth either. They've moved next door to dh's sister...the childless one who is spoiled. She and her dh have done great with the inlaws though. They just have NO clue and she told me that if something ever happened they were coming here.... We live several hours by car from them and they are in a major city area. Them coming here never entered my mind. If they come then there's a chance that could increase people here by 11 because they'd bring dh's other sister and family. Not to mention I have a sister and her dh that might show up. There's NO way I'd be ready for that. Heck I've been reading a new EOW series and I'm not prepared for just us!
So I'm back to feeling overwhelmed which means I do nothing because where to start and where to put it? ugh! Plus I am tired!
I also realized while reading this book that while I've been feeling good about our water situation because we do have a way to run the pump if power is gone that an emp would fry the pump itself. That means no water. So dh and I need to figure out something I guess.
I get my glasses through the VA, as I am a service connected veteran, but usually their free frames are horrible and they break easily. So I have paid for better frames in the past.I didn't want to pay that much for the frames, either, especially since I no longer have vision insurance coverage for all my glasses. Our soon to be ex-DIL was sporting a new pair that cost our DS $600 when she showed up at my sister's funeral service. I can't afford that for a pair of glasses that might last me two years. Not now.
For anyone who really NEEDS their eyeglassesto function, I'd strongly suggest getting a spare pair from Zenni. I'm terribly nearsighted. I'd be in real trouble if my glasses were broken or misplaced. I've purchased single vision readers (I have severe astigmatism: the dollar store readers are useless for me), single vision distance and bifocals from Zenni... even the "flex hinge" titanium frames, high index lenses and top antiscratch coatings end up being under a hundred bucks... local equivalent pair would be $800.
I also bought prescription sunglasses for driving...just a generic frame without all the fancy add-ons.. I think they cost me $27, which is about what a good, nonprescription pair would cost here. I keep them in the truck in a case, and they've held up well.
a few pairs of Zenni "GI" military frames for lenses transfer isn't the worst idea >> busting off an arm or cracking the orbital lenses part is common enough when working a chore - cheap $$$$
I've been getting my glasses from Zenni for 12-15 years now, and have been very happy with them for the most part. The only quibble I have had with them is that the frames never look quite like what I thought they were going to look like from the pictures on their site. But, I can't see them when they are on my face, so I guess as long as I can see, it's all good. Nobody beats their prices, though.

Maybe an inexpensive carport would keep the sun off the camper so it would stay cooler.Daughter is having much issues with camper heat.
One thing I found to be helpful is to measure your current frames (in millimeters)... all Zenni's frames have their dimensions clearly marked on the site... you want to compare both the total width of the frames, as well as the height and width of the lenses... you can then get a better idea of the actual size of the ones you want to order.
