Safety Glasses

I bin BUSY!
Mostly fending off all them mens because of my super sessy new specs, all those boys be trippin' over each other to get to me. (Also reading "PUSH" as ordered by the Mighty Oprah, therefore brushing up on my ghetto verbiage).
I actually got my way hot glasses with the notion that I would use them exclusively in surgery in order to avoid wearing that dumb mask with a shield which always fogs up. I went to the eyeglass store and said that I'd like the biggest & cheapest frames that they had. The cringing proprietor in his polite gay way attempted to steer me elsewhere, but I persevered. These are perfect for surgery, and it turns out that I like being able to see things at a distance (over 6 feet away, that is). My children are horrified and have asked me to remove them when they deign to acknowledge me, but I'm pretty happy with them overall. They give me a very Lois Lane aura.

In other news, I'm slowly working my way out of the Halloween induced candy coma, and I've been recklessly squandering cash since I managed to divest myself of the nightmare suit by way of eBay for a whopping $230.00. I guess every pot has a lid. Except for Mr. Bunker, that is. In a world where every pot has a lid, he is a lonely wok. Sad. For me, that is.

Lonely wok indeed...which is okay, as long as you're not the 'baby corn' in the wok...got it? :-)

Two hundred thirty dollars for the suit????..... $230.00 ? Edith start cleaning out your closets, your escape from the wok stash is within reach! I like the glasses, I have several of them!!

Ever since I had my Crystalens implants in '07, I only need reading glasses. I see 20/15 at distance and intermediate. Still wear the safety glasses when I'm mucking around in precious bodily fluids or at the shooting range.

Edith Bunker said...

Frank, yes I was trying to get by without. I cannot tolerate the squinting because the potential crow's feet, and chopsticks are tiresome.

P.A. shut up. you're worse.remember those white socks??

C.P.: Mr. Bunker already has PLENTY of the baby corn floating around. plenty.

Gia: I'm thinking that maybe I can ditch one of my office days & enjoy a clean garage & big bucks generated by eBay (aka my "happy place").

CJ: my eyes are so jacked thanks to family hx I'm not a candidate, but I'll be extra careful on the shooting range, even squint a little if I must. Probably best to stay far away.

I was beginning to worry. I thought Mr. B figured out the frog was gone and realized if you were out of the picture, he would have more room for stuff and way less flack over it.

Needless worry I see.

Edith Bunker said...

Darn right Capt. every time he starts eying my closet space I get a little nervous; particularly if life insurance arises in the same chat.

Of all the crap I have sold on eBay, the women's suits went the fastest and for the fairest prices. I sure loved geting rid of those frickin' suits! Corporate burkas...

Those glasses are Hott! And face it Edith, You Are A Geek! And thats not a bad thing...ever seen the Van Halen Video, Hot for Teacher?
You spent how many years in school??? In residency??? Yeah, I thought so.

Edith Bunker said...

Yes, ma'm, I suppose I am a geek. PROUD geek, and will certainly have a look at hot for teacher.
and "Corporate Burkas???" That term makes me happy and I will probably plagiarize at some point!
