I Wish I Had a Facepalm Icon Right Now

[sadlikeknives]

A week ago I went to the most magical store in Alabama, possibly the universe, Unclaimed Baggage, where all the stuff the airlines lose forever goes to be rehomed. I got, among other nonsense, a great suitcase and some new glasses frames. Except I paid like ten bucks for them, but then I had to have my lenses in them, and my lenses cost an arm

Can you put new rhinestones in?

[sadlikeknives]

That's plan B, yeah, in between 'they're magically at the optician' and 'dropping 90 bucks on a new set of frames.' I'm not sure how much luck I'll have finding the RIGHT rhinestones, though. I live in the middle of nowhere, so it's not like I have access to a plethora of craft store options, and I'm leery of beginning a search for a specific size and shape of rhinestone online--I could be hip deep in 'em before I find the right ones, with my luck.

Dittoing ariawyn! Superglue + craft store?

That's plan B, as I said above--I'm just, like, scared finding the RIGHT rhinestones could turn into a needle in a haystack type quest. D:

If you can't find rhinestones to match the ones in there, pop those suckers out too and replace them all!

It would definitely be cheaper than new frames...

I just lost my iPod on a plane. :/

[sadlikeknives]

I saw that! I thought of commenting to that entry with, like, "Well, I was just where your iPod will end up?" but I decided that would be totally unhelpful. I'm sorry about your iPod. D:

This is why my iPod has my name and phone number engraved on the back. Growing up with periodic news stories about Unclaimed Baggage has made me a little paranoid about that kind of thing.

My business card is in the case, but. *shrugs*

[sadlikeknives]

Then it might find its way back to you!

Did you heard what Rob Matts said about that?
