I was also curious about how they work. The optician told me that the lens is separated into different areas with different corrections (sometimes it's concentric circles, sometimes it's a different distribution). So the eye receives a sort of patchwork, some areas of the image are in focus, some aren't, and my poor brain is supposed to make sense of this Apparently this works for about 60-70% of people. But since different lens brands have different distribution patterns, they may work differently for different people.

The ones I tried today are great for long and mid range vision but not so god for short range, I had some trouble reading. The previous ones were great for reading but I couldn't see my computer screen very well when working
hm, very interesting, thank you for the explanation ! the brain is a fascinating thing. it's quite amazing, if you think of it, that it can make sense of an image it will receive in "stripes" or pieces. i hope you manage to find a pattern which will work well for you at all distances. i am just going to count on the presbytie i'll probably suffer from in a few years countering the myopie i currently suffer from. if i get lucky, and it all balances out just right, maybe i won't need glasses at all anymore.

LOL!! Ok, that is an old saying that my grandmother used, meaning "not from a can".

They are interesting. I liked the texture better than any other recipe I've ever used.

Crocheting actually, and yes. No idea what gender though, so I guess I'll stick with yellow and green yarn for now.

Congrats? Try not to remind yourself that it will be soon be your grandkids you can hear playing!
Biscuits came out fine (though I think next time the oven heat needs to be higher, I have checked with the lady I got the recipe from for clarity on that before I post in the recipe thread. Midterms were ok, I got an 80 on the one for Critical Thinking. There wasn't a formal midterm for Business Law, but I have a 95 average in that class, so I'm not complaining. It's a fun class, too ..best professor I've had yet. Thanks for the congrats - I really haven't processed it yet.

Preparing a simple meal...

Baking some potatoes, a couple of fillet mingnons, a simple salad, with a 2000 Chateau Clos Chaumont.

Now if I could only swap my brother for a lovely lady....

Hmm yes I must prepare a meal too. But that is a little heavy for Breakfast. Maybe I will have baked beans on toast with a fried egg

I prepared lunch. Fish sticks and steamed vegetables; then no one but me ate any vegetables! After I slaved all afternoon over a hot microwave!

Keep your brother, I don't want him.
