When I first needed bifocals at age 40 my first lenses was the multi-
focal and I've never had any type but these. I really like them too, but
I have nothing else to compare them to. But for me, I'm not a fan of
the Transitions. I just use a pair of clip on sunglasses which are
stored in the overhead taco holder in the car.

It was underwhelmed because it was working. We flattened the curve in
the late spring and summer. Not it is soaring.

I started needing reading glasses when I was 43. By the time I was 50 I
was wearing progressive bifocals.

So at least your eyes are progressive.

there's a lot of loony people who take isolated incidents and
blow them out of proportion to feed their own ideas of what is
going on.

My nephew fathered a daughter when he was young. His father had recently
married a younger woman and they had a baby. I forget which is older but
they were born within a month of each other.

heh, no, i've never been much to play around to begin
with and those i've been serious with the most have
either been surgically sterile or on BC and i'd know
if they'd lied. let's just say i've seen too many
young kids pregnant and i sure didn't want any part of
that.

You're not up to date, they are finding many younger people suffer
long term effects from covid. In any event, someone who has to go to
work etc. should have priority over moi.

I read those stories too and they're terrible, but nevertheless, if
you're old, your chance of dying from covid's much bigger.

If there was one vaccine between me and my 80 year old neighbour, I'd
give it to them and then wait for my own turn. If there was one
vaccine between me and my 10 year younger wife, I'd give it to her and
wait for my own turn. Ain't I wonderful and empathic? If she was 50
and I was an 85 year old chain smoking diabetic with one leg, it would
probably be different.

usually people who use those sorts of phrases strike me
as ultra-conservative and often are bigots/racists/sexists
and paranoid if you talk to them for long they'll start
talking about conspiracy theories about all sorts of things
and you want to back away.
 
unfortunately my father is one of them. :(

I'm waiting for people without the ability to use a search engine to ask
what a "powder room" is. ;) I'll save them the trouble. It's a room
with a toilet, a sink and a mirror. No shower, no bathtub. Some of
those pedestal sinks, pretty though they might be, don't appear to have
much room for a bar of soap or a soap dispenser.

I am NOT fan of those vessel sinks. Beautiful to look at but I'm like a splashing
duck in puddle when I use the bathroom sink. I need and want a one-piece
countertop with intergrated sink so I can scrape that water right back into it.

When my brother and his wife spent way too much remodelling their
bathroom she insisted on a rectangular sink with a flat bottom. It
looks nice. I was helping him with a dirty job and washed up in that
sink. All the dirt and grime came off and sat there. It took way too
much effort and water to get it to go down the drain.

I love to watch House Hunters and shows of that ilk because most of the
buyers on the show don't seem to take "practical" into consideration. I
still see those bowl type sinks. While they're oohing and ahhing over
how trendy the bathroom looks I'm thinking what a PITA to clean
underneath and around them.
 
I did see a "new" episode of House Hunters in the last month where the
husband was the one doing the oohing and aahing over a grand entryway in
a 2 story house with soaring ceilings, a light fixture suspended from
20-something feet up and huge windows above the door that reached up to
the second floor. (They hadn't seen the rest of the house yet.) I'm
paraphrasing the wife's response which was pretty much "Who's going to
get up there and change that light bulb when it burns out? Who's going
to wash those windows?" His response: "Oh, I didn't think about that."
That's one of the things that makes those shows entertaining. :)

I went to my niece's brand spanking new house for Thanksgiving. Her powder
room had a large 4-legged sink with a shelf underneath. The shelf had a large
basket overflowing with toilet paper. It was very nice, but even though that
sink was oversized, it still would not have been my choice. Just give me a
vanity cabinet with doors so I can store TP and cleaning products out of
sight.
 
She had a beautiful oval silver mirror just like this hanging in the powder
room. I did not ask how she plans on cleaning the glass as I was afraid
she'd ask me to do it. :o)

One thing's for sure: not the wife.

I'd take it outside and pressure wash it when I do the driveway.
