Btw, if your prescription ISN'T changing, why would you need to get new glasses? Or are you going to confirm your eyesight is fine? I don't generally go until I definitely sense the sharpness of either near or far is getting fuzzy. I think MY last eye doc appt was 3 years ago, but as I mentioned to j.w; I only wear them when necessary so as not to strain my eyes into NEEDING new glasses every year. I bet I've had maybe 3 different prescriptions the past 40 years or so.

Anyway, sorry I got your hopes up, but maybe you can sweet talk the Costco rep into doing it anyway!
I wear disposable daily contacts. I buy a year supply of lenses and after a year to get a refill I have to make a doc appointment...she checks my eyes and says "no changes" and she writes a new prescription for the same thing and I'm covered for another year...I think it's bull, I should be able to purchase lenses for as long as I think my prescription is good enough...it's all about money Image

I concur; can you get TWO years supply when you order? This would save you that doc appt the NEXT year, anyway. You can say you go through them quicker and need the extra, ya know? I'd at least give it a try. Or, my wife says try this; just before your year is up, try ordering your daily contacts ONLINE. She says she's done this before, though it was a few years ago and she's been wearing glasses most of the time. But, can't hurt, right? And you KNOW the prescription won't be expired!

Your plan will never work as the Queen does not beckon to the calls of Kingy Boy. Now I bet I could catch you in a fat trap w/a nice big ole piece of pineapple pizza...................Here kingy boy, here boy, come and get it 8-)

The baby Robins have hatched and I saw two but in this photo you can see if you look really close one w/it's mouth wide open.

yep, I see him! I'm surprised they're still fledglings and haven't flown away by now! Wonder if your cooler than usual weather had an effect on that?

I think back when I took that first photo of the Mama bird in the nest she hadn't laid the eggs yet. So it hasn't really been that long I don't think.
