Without a diagnostic validation of your eyesight, the doctor could get a massive fine for allowing you to get contacts past the date limits set by law. Just in case you didn't know....
Yup. I'm not opposed to that rule. Frustrating that contacts scrips only last a year, whereas those for glasses are good for two years, but whatever!
My frustration was that, during my 1/15 visit, I told the doctor that I wanted a *new* prescription for my previous brand of contacts. He even did the whole "Which one is better: 1 or 2?" rigmarole with the big machine (don't know what those things are called.) I was under the impression that the scrip he wrote would be valid a year from that date. Instead, he just changed my existing prescription, which expired 2/26. When I complained to the clerks today, they said they couldn't do anything because I'd originally paid for a regular eye exam, not a contact lens fitting. If I wanted new contacts, I'd have to schedule a new $95 exam. Very frustrating.
I had a vast collection of kid music when they were young. Music was important to me, so I wanted it to be important to them. I had a mix of international, regular kid-artists (ie Rafi) and rock singers who put out kid friendly albums. One of my favorites was done by Maria Muldear as she did a lot of standards which I think everyone should know (Put On a Happy Face, The Sunny Side of the Street, etc.)
I know almost nothing about kids' music, so I'm just smiling and nodding. ;) I've heard, though, that the variety has become really excellent these days, which is always a good thing.
Yup. The big "gotcha!" shock value is great, sure, but it only works the first time you see the episode of whatever show you love. The key is in whether the overall ep holds up when you rewatch it, knowing how it'll end.
I have never understood American Apparel. I went there once with a friend, and none of their clothes have designs or more than one color (unless it's contrasting piping). It's all very boring, very thin material, but somehow they're pretty expensive.
Apparently, it's supposed to be sweatshop free and that's supposed to explain the higher price. But, that claim has been debunked recently after a couple journalists actually checked it out. The company's just sneakier about the whole sweatshop thing, I think.
And yeah, their clothes are hideous and I hate their add campaigns.
Right! Like I said above, that huge surprise only works the first time you see the episode -- the real test of quality is how well the episode holds up once you know what happens. I love the anticipation of spoilers and speculation, but I understand why people love the surprise. Still, that's not all a show should have in its favor.
And I'm quite glad to see another naturally cheerful person. :)
