Jack that is so cool! My hubby just had his taken off a month or so
ago and I remember you writing about you getting yours taken off soon
and looking forward to it. When John took his and passed the lady
asked him if he had contacts in. He said nope, I had Lasik and gave
her a big smile

I'm sure she gets that a lot.

Anyway a big congrats! What a treat huh?

BTW Happy Birthday to you!!

Thanks !!!!

Yes, it was like a big birthday present to myself. I've been wearing glasses
since I was in 3rd of 4th grade.

Even my new picture turned out pretty descent.

The guy that tested me was kind of surly. He asked me too about wearing
contacts like I was fibbing about it. "Oh, you had that surgery thing, uh?"
Real Einsteins they have there.
