Nothing but dial tone

October 30th, 2007

I recently received a new phone at work. I ported my old number over andeverything has been good. I returned the old phone. The following day thenew phone suddenly stopped working. The wrong phone had been deactivatedand I was without service the entire weekend.

Fuzzy details

I went to the optometrist to try and get a new pair of contacts. Since mydaughter broke one of my lenses I have been wearing my glasses much morethan normal.
The glasses are a newer prescription than the contacts but somehow I hadmore trouble focusing with them. I reported this to the doctor and […]

My daughter is very curious about my contacts. Of course her curiousitymeans my problems. Last week she removed my lenses from their case andattempted to fold it like my wife's. My wife has soft lenses, I HAD hardlenses, or at least now I have halfs.

I really dislike making a trip to the store for one […]

Back to school…
