I probably said this before but..... as an old man, I have a great dose of 'long arm disease' where I cannot focus on anything very close to my eyes. My long vision is good but I need minor corrective lenses to allow me to get closer to anything, such as close enough to a monitor to read it. That is not a problem really either but what is annoying is that it results is a short focal distance; 1.25 diopter lenses are good for perhaps 20" to about 14", any closer and I have to switch to either 1.5 or usually 2.0. That gets me from maybe 12" (Easy Boys!) to about 10" or 9" away at best. To look closer, such as when looking at a PC board, small parts of a firearm, etc., I need 3.0, and they work fine but only for about 2" of focusing range, which is fine for a single task but a few seconds later I end up backing up and needing a lesser power lens again. So normally for any type of changing task, I need 2 and sometimes 3 pair of glasses and have to keep swapping them. A true PITA.
And now for the pet peeve: I do not wear glasses in the shower (duh), and find that while all the bottles in there have writing from top- to- bottom, the actual word or words saying what they ARE seem to be written in 6 point type. Sure, "Vanilla- Hickory" is gigantic and I can read that but who cares. What I want to (need to) know is WHAT IT IS! I wash my hair and sometimes it seems to get even less clean- yep, that was creme rinse instead of shampoo. Sometimes it gets clean, kinda' but burns..... drain opener. Sometimes it gets a little cleaner and is as fresh as a Summer's Eve.... that was..... well, never-mind. So, why not just put what the product actually IS in bigger, legible letters? I think it is a Soviet conspiracy to ruin the American economy by making us use far too many chemicals in the bathroom!
But I am still hoping it will stop deteriorating and get better. Yep, that's the ticket- it will get better.
Brian (wearing 1.25 diopter lenses so I can type this nonsense in the first place).
