Amen. Years ago, shopping on my lunch hour, backtracked to a posh shop and asked if they had found a pair of tortoiseshell sunglasses. Incredibly good looking salesperson barely contained a smile, asks “Like the pair on your head?”

I cannot tell you how many times I’ve looked for my cell phone when I get home from work, and start to go crazy and get all panicky…only to remember I’m ON the phone with my sister. And like an idiot, I tell her every time, and we dissolve into hysterical laughter every time.

If, like me, you wear your shades on your head more than on your nose, you can’t even feel them anymore.
Or it feels like you’re still wearing them on your head when you are not

I’ve never been able to do that. They fall off.

Depends on the shades, but yeah — I have several that won’t stay on my head. I hate those

I tend to sing songs randomly. On more than one occasion, Mrs. ricepad has listened, and said, “I thought you hated that song!” To which I reply, “Yeah, I do, but it popped into my head for some reason so I’m singing it.”

Bifocals make me dizzy so I switch back and forth between distance and reader glasses: one on my head and one on my face. I had a 20 something smirk at me and point out that I had a second pair of glasses on my head. I got an “oh.” when I pointed out that I was very aware of this, thank you, and that one was for reading and the other distance.
Have you tried progressive bifocals?

Progressive bifocals work for me, provided they’re properly fitted.

Tried them. They give me motion sickness, which is something I also deal with almost every time I get into a vehicle.
I cannot imagine life without progressives! For daylite and sun. I went to bifocals but eventually needed accurate middle vision, so went to trifocals. Then progressives came out. New prescriptions may take several days to get used to (or not), but my brain accepts the transitions as if I had on no correctives at all.
BUT not everyone adjusts so easily. They are either a boon or a catastrophe. I have had excellent luck sending my prescriptions to Zenni Optical. I have had no better experiences with expensive private vision providers in the city.
Your mileage may well vary.

I’ve been using progressives for decades. When I first got them I was warned to be careful when negotiating stairs, but had no problems adjusting.

I have a trac phone to find my dumb phone. Useful at times. Dumb phone is usually found in an apron pocket, hung on the wall.

After I have a deep conditioner treatment they’ll do that for a few weeks.
