Out With It

-
Because I love and admire my blog readers, all three of you, I feel as though I must be totally honest in order to continue our relationship. So today I am coming out as bi.

I had put this off for as long as I could. I tolerated the uncomfortableness of it all, just to keep my little secret safe. However, I am tired of not being able to experience both those things right under my nose and those that are coming down the road. Yes my friends, I am getting bifocals.

Being bifocaled is nothing of which to be ashamed. I will wear my new lineless bifocal glasses with pride. I will buy stylish readers at the local drugstore to counter the strength of my new contacts which will now prevent me from reading menus and magazines (no bifocal contacts - I do have my limits you know.)

At times there will be challenges. But with the support of you my blog friends I know I will stay strong. Bifocal pride - let's read something together. Peace.

I'm going bi too when I see the eye dr. in Aug. He already warned me last time. I think I will enjoy being able to read something again without having to change to the cheaters. Although, truth be told, late at night, when I'm all alone, I wear both my regular specs & the cheaters. I call it my redneck bifocals.
But, the one caveat to them is to be careful going up and down steps and such. My ex fell off a loading ramp shortly after getting his because he misjudged where the end was.
I can't wait for that - not. I'm klutzy enough on my own!

some of my best friends are bi....

I have never been able to adjust, so I keep two around, one for close and one for distance. Eyeglasses I mean.

i've been bi for a few years. i prefer single lens glasses for reading, the bifocals are best for driving and general seeing. i still reject them when i'm on the computer because they suck at it. my new glasses are taking some getting used to. i think the angle set of them is wrong in the frames.

Phew! I really thought you were saying you're effin' Bi. I was like fuck that shit...
Anyway, I have tri-focals ... which is really what progressives are. I would wear contacts, but I can't seem to get them out of my eyes, plus i now have big bags underneath so I try to hid them with frames.

Bifocals are for lazy people. I like to see humans use big magnifying glasses to inspect things, like Sherlock Holmes.

Now Boarding Rows 1 Through 10. Is There Room For Your Carry On?

Here's an interesting texting typo I created last week: And if airline seats get any smaller, I can see this being an actual problem. Can you imagine? I'm sorry ma'am, but there is no way both of you can seat in one seat. You will have to purchase an additional ticket for "her". What would happen then? Would she want the window or middle seat? That's assuming she would even want to sit next to me. I mean, we are together 24/7 so she may want a little alone time, out in the open air, where she is free of any restraint. And what if she is chatty, flapping her lips the whole time? I'm not a big talker when I travel, preferring instead to bury my head in a magazine so I can take my mind off the flight and enjoy my Ativan. I imagine the conversation going as such: She:  I hate that bike seat at spin class. You have no idea what it's like. Me:  Spin class is only 50 minutes. You can handle it. I bought you padded shorts. Those weren't

Things For Which To Be Thankful

My two nieces have had some health issues lately. First E was admitted to the hospital with severe abdominal pain. She ended up with a five day stay. Then my other niece S spent twelve hours in the ER due to a pain in her side (no, it wasn't me). Not feeling up to par can really bring you down. So I am sending them both some well wishes here today and hopefully convincing them that there are worse things in life. There is 80's hair: Oh, and a couple of more things to add to the list: red shag carpet and wrist corsages. Rock me like a hurricane girls, but you sure are pretty in pink (and black). Hey - didn't you have a cat that got lost at one point. I think I see it. ADDENDUM - THOSE PICTURES ARE NOT OF ME. SORRY FOR THE CONFUSION. TO BE FAIR, I HAVE POSTED MY 80'S PIC BELOW:
