Again, that's just me - paper records can be dehumanizing too. They're just records, that's all.

I don't pay much for glasses frames. The assistant there - and this is a small town, so BS would get around quickly - also told me about the 'old frames' thing. She also showed me how to hold frames correctly, a plus! I was told we create stress points on our frames over time, and I find that quite easy to believe.
What is frustrating you can pay them $300-$400 for what you are thinking are good frames that will last a good 5 years at least. It use to be your frames would last a good 10 years. Now it is just throw them away & get a new pair." WASTEFUL SOCIETY" They use to have a box for people to put their old glasses in to send to third world countries now there isn't a box there anymore. The expensive (cheap) glass frames must all break now so the people in the third world countries will have to go without.
