*ping* ...AAAAAAUGH

[dianeduane]

...The "ping" being the right-hand earpiece of my glasses made when it snapped. The "Auuuughhh" being the sound I made as I just barely kept them from falling of my face.

Now here I sit with them taped together in the most fragile and geekette-ish manner imaginable. And exactly at the time when all other funds in the house are spoken for.

Oh well. At least this explains why the vision in my right eye seemed to have been acting so strangely all week. At least I know it's not my retina kicking up or anything.

What rotten luck - but it might be repairable if an optician can take the two screws(?) out and screw a new side on. If not, then carefully applied epoxy rosin might stick the end of the earpiece into the rightangle between the metal bar of the broken-off end and the screw, parallel to the broken off bar.

(I was an unpaid family carer for years, it's amazing what can be invisibly repaired and last for a long time afterward.)
