September 29th, 2008i can see clearly now
I’m not yet ready to part with my eyeglasses. I bought it only 4 months ago! So we tried to go to the optical near us and asked if they can fix it. We were advised to have it repaired in the store where I bought it as they usually have spare parts for their frames. That can’t be coz I bought mine from a far away island in the Southeast Asia. Ha! The pretty girl gave us another option; look for a small optical shop where they might be accepting repairs. Since it was Friday, small shops were closed for the weekend. I couldn’t bear living without my eyeglasses for another day coz my head was already aching from balancing the one-legged glasses I have.

So I let *Mr. Handyman fix it instead. And it’s fixed! Fixed as in repaired, good as new! And fixed as in the leg he attached can’t be folded, immovable! Hahaha. That’s because he glued it with super glue! =) its fine with me. I am happy that I can see clearly again and that my pair of specs is back to where it should be.
*Mr. Handyman is M, my hubby =)

Congratulations! I’m going to try that on mine, too. I finally got some new glasses on Friday, but I’d like to have a spare on hand just in case.
Great on idea!

Hello, thank you for being one of my top EC droppers this month. I really appreciate it.

Btw, I wear glasses too and I have extra pairs just in case one gets broken. I’d be blind without it.

@Christy: so how was it?
@Babette: you’re welcome. =) having an extra pair is a good idea. i left my old pair back home (sigh) thinking i wouldn’t need it anyway.

seems like rv would like to sympathize with your broken eyeglasses. this morning he came to me looking for superglue. he’s going to fix the leg of his specs. unfortunately it didn’t ‘glue’. maybe our superglue ran dry. anyway we’re getting him new one.
