Default I finally joined the ranks ……………FOG’s unite!
That’s right ladies and gentlemen, I finally broke down and bought my first set of reading glasses.

My eyes are just fine, it’s my arms that are too short.

I was having a hard time reading anything within a foot and my eyes were tired at work. I was able to get the lowest one they had +1.00 and as much as I hate to say it – these things ROCK! I can see so much easier and my arms are not as tired either.











pic #1 – This is what they look like on paper.













pic #2 – This is what they look like on me.










AARP here I come.
