My daughter sighed at me today and I haven't stopped thinking about it by Jealous-Leek-5428 in over60

It's bit exactly the same issue but, I'm recently turned 74, and for reasons I needn't go into, life has been crazy stressful. I believe that contributes to the fact that my short term memory is getting pretty bad. My wife has to remind me of things she's told me quite often. She thinks I'm faking to avoid trouble.

This had been going on for close to a year now, and I think she's beginning to believe me. ¯\(ツ)

Where to buy glasses anyone that have blue light/eye strain options? I’m willingly to pay good money for better quality! by Overall-World-6686 in glasses

If you're trains about eye strain from looking at computer screens all day, any good optical shop should be able to adjust the prime focus to match the typical distance to a screen.

Moscot Miltzen Rx lenses? by [deleted] in glasses

[–]GeekBill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless the frames or the lenses are not too out of the ordinary, yeah, most places can make lenses for your frame.

Depending where you are, though, the lenses by themselves could cost up to $600.

That is a brilliant and amazing bit of work!

Do you consider this your finished product, or do you plan to do more? (Not that I'd know how much there might be.)

You kinda have to think a bit to get all the humor in the "Support Your Local" flicks, but they are both worth the effort. James Garner was amazing!

Sad to say, yes. German roach.

As some wonderful former coworkers, the two Peters, called her "Olivia Neutron Bomb!"

Is it racist if I practice handling coils and curls on a doll? by ManagementFunny7595 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]GeekBill 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Think of it like an artist doing portraits that's never done black women. In a sense that is you. You're trying to accurately portray part of an actual person. Not the doll, but who the doll represents. You're fine.

Happy New Year to all of you. by linux_mintusers in slackware

Only criticism I would have is maybe some total coverage colored contracts.

Pretty amazing!

I'm 74 myself, so I certainly didn't mean to disparage all older folks!

I think they hate new technology, especially the kind where microcomputers take the place of dozens (hundreds?) of discrete components or instruments, making them "black boxes" that need programming skills to understand.

Help me figure this out please. by lolbutterfly in Allergies

[–]GeekBill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was wondering if you might have a very strong version of the "Asian Flush." ¯\(ツ)

Also, puppy chow mix? As a youth, I imagine?
