And I still can’t shoot lasers from them…
So I’ve worn glasses since I was about ten, my parents noticing me scrunching my face up in an attempt to focus on, well, almost anything. There is surely nothing more attractive than a pudgy pre-pubescent kid trying to make his face implode and pushing that imploded face RIGHT up to yours so he can see you better.
Back off, kid, you’re creeping me out.
I had a lovely collection of plastic NHS frames and, when I went to high school, graduated up to some highly alluring steel aviators. Step up, ladies, it’s all for sale.

Oh, and do you think that you’ll be able to compare hospital “quality” between military hospitals and other hospitals using the federal government’s web site? Think again. No data available for military hospitals. Walter Reed Army Medical Center doesn’t exist in Washington DC when you’re trying to see the quality of care that is b...
