And some of 'em are decidedly unattractive. ;)

I knew I'd regret posting my picture on here.

You are neither mean nor unattractive, so hush.

Ive got my new glasses and I cant seem to see quite right out of them. If one lens works the other doesn't, depending on how I move my head. They told me to give it a week for my eyes to adjust. I'm thinking thats sort of shady dealings right there now. I think I'm going to bite the bullet (and forget about the already $600 Ive paid ) and get the damn surgery.

You mean like lining your pupils up with the center of the lenses? If that's the case, they might have gotten your pupillary distance wrong.

They remeasured it and didn't seem to think that was the problem. But I will go back in a few days to try that again. They are the invisible line trifocal lens. They kind of suck in that there is a really small focus area in each lens for each correction. Also, at the same time they are corrected for really bad nearsightness and astigmatism.

I hate my eyes.

The tri-focals are very difficult to get used to. Some people never do, while others adjust over time. They seem to be trying to do too much for me, I mean if you have your head turned or tilted in one direction and look through the "wrong" part of the lens then your vision will be blurred or otherwise obscured. They only work when you are looking directly at a specific object. If there are multiple images in your line of sight and they are at differing distances, it becomes increasingly difficult to process the info and focus.
They are not for me - that's for sure.

edit: I am not an optometrist nor optician, I just play on on teh Cellar.

Today, my return from the dentist belongs here.
:thepain:

These are my third pair with a second increase in correction. (The Doc said my eye are 5-10 years older than the rest of me -just great) so I do know how weird they are to adjust to. Im not entirely sold on that being my problem though. When I look straight ahead now and hold my hand first in front of one eye and then the other, there is a noticeable difference in sharpness. Im gonna have to go back and have them fix this. I had to do the same thing with my last pair.

Bri stole my minion. Very uncool of her, is she just too lazy to get her own? I've had that minion most of my life, now that its gone there is a whole in my heart. I don't know if I can go on.

I've been stressing over this possible issue for well over a week now. Now the possible issue is a hard fact. I just returned from a meeting that has my stomach churning.

I fucked up monumentally.

This has absolutely nothing to do with my clients, their families, their cats,dogs, iguanas, or money. This is simply a Lookout and family problem.

When I first formed my company I didn't spend the ultra big bucks on a fancy dancy top end lawyer. I DID hire a professional with experience in the arena after receiving a number of referrals in that direction. For unrelated, ongoing performance issues I severed that business relationship about 4 months ago.

After now working with my new professional and getting outside opinion on an issue it turns out a couple of very crucial errors were made in forming my company and those errors were compounded by the accounting side of things as time went on. I now have a problem with a lot of zeros that has essentially wiped out my business reserves and personal finances. :thepain:

My mistakes, my responsibility.

The upside is that at least the problem is known, can be fixed, and the way to fix it, while painful, is pretty straightforward.

On that note, if I'm not around here much it doesn't mean I'm dead. It just means I have to be a grown up and clean up my mess.:sniff:

Try not to kill eachother in the buildup to the election, I want the cellar intact when I come back.

Good luck to you, cuz. I'm sure you'll get things straightened out in no time, then you can come back and we can argue politics. :)

Oh shit Lookout. I'm sorry. That really sucks.

Ouch Lookout! Best of luck, I'm sure your resourcefulness will pull you through. We'll all miss you.

Dude. Kick that problem's ass and get back in here ASAP.
