Took your advice, George. With blurred vision, asked myself your question, and sure enough found my glasses where I’d left them…on my nose, the lenses smeared, because I’d misplace the polishing cloth. Now I’m asking, Where was I the last time I polished the lenses?
Simple trick: forget polishing cloths. Those things are a waste. Hold the glasses under hot water for a few seconds, dry them on a tea towel and then put the glasses on. Feels like clothes out of a dryer, except for your face. And the lenses will never be as clean. Thanks E Sum. These are the kind of things you figure out when your office is two steps away from the kitchen.
Good idea! :D My grandfather used to put the reading glasses on top of his head when he needed the distance glasses to watch TV. Invariably, he would then ask my grandmother where his reading glasses were.
Did you hear about the EMT who lost his glasses? He figured it must have occurred after he used the defibrillator paddles on a cardiac patient because he distinctly remembered shouting, “Clear!”
George, I reblogged this, but thanks to WordPress’s new and improved reblogging system all that showed up on my site was a title with no content. So I copied and pasted your post.
Thank you, Mitch. Much appreciated. That said, I wish I could have the WordPress I started with nine years ago. I hate everything to do with blocks, and that opinion will never alter. Funny, too, wordpress never alerted me to the re-blog. But, my goodness, let us not make this about wordpress but about me! (j/k) Thanks for the re-blog, M.
I’m always misplacing my glasses, so I’ve taken to drinking water by twisting my head upside down under the sink faucet….which gets my ears and the glasses I wear all wet. But after I dry the lenses clean, I still can’t find my drinking glasses, so I’m thinking of installing a water cooler in my home so I can drink with my head on straight. That would be uncharted territory for me, but there’s a first time for everything (so I hear).
Well, you know, you can do what the magicians do and roll up a newspaper, and pour milk inside. But I cannot guarantee the milk will still be there to drink after you do, because, that is where it gets tricky. Thanks for that, MM. You made me laugh. — geo.

I need a spare pair so I can put them to look for my regular glasses since everything is an indistinct blur.
