Over 40's thread....

^No worries, thanks.

But if we do it, you'll have to be grumpy.

Eris - I had cataracts removed from both my eyes at 49 because I was EXTREMELY nearsighted (can cause cataracts at an early age).  12 years later I'm starting to need glasses again.  

As far as reading glasses, I'd rather use the braille system on Prince Albert.

oh, my eyes are worthless. Without contacts I'm blind. I bet all of you can see a lot better than me

I do marvel at what a miracle even something as simple as glasses are.  Without them a lot of us would be "blind."  Before my surgery, my prescription was the strongest you could have and I was in danger of losing my drivers license because even with the strongest lenses I was still nearsighted enough to almost fail the vision test.  The intraocular lenses gave me another 11 or 12 years of wonderous vision.

That was some awesome surgery.

I am long-sighted in one eye and short-sighted in the other, something like +2 and -2. Not too bad really but it confuses my brain when I go without my glasses.

I should get out of here as I am 34.

No, stay here.

And you'll be past 40 in no time.

Warm milk is good at bedtime too, or tea and toast!  And be sure to keep a shawl handy
so you can doze in your rocking chair without catching a chill!

You'll want that shawl even when the boiler works.

And heading for the sweet granny version of old age, with hot chocolate.

It is not too late to change your ways girl. You can be the grumpy granny with a devious grin, a grudge and a grog.
