 I went for years wearing only contacts, but I love my current specs.  Titanium frames with Nikon lenses.  Very light, considering most lenses for my level of correction are like Coke bottles.  Need to get new contacts (rigid gas permeable).  My current ones are so old they hurt (literally).  I only wear them for sports these days.

 what's everyone's eye sight?
mine is 20/20 but I'm sensitive to light.

can't remember- but really freaking bad + astigmatism.
 
 + I have unrelated spatial difficulties (drafting, drawing, parallel parking, reading 3D building plans, figuring out which sized plastic container to put the leftover spaghetti in...)

I also buy these reading glasses at Costco.....they come three in a pack (and cheap).  Never carry reading glasses on me but I have these all over the house and several at work.....real convenient

My weakness is my tolerance for booze. I hardly drink anymore and booze hits me hard when I do. I don't mind though, I am glad I don't drink a ton. A few brews now and then don't hurt either.

 have you tried accupunture?  I found it helpfull........it didn't completely made my allergies go away but it reduced it, I would say, 90%

   Wow, I've never heard of that.  That's interesting.  I've never had that problem because I remember being woken up by the phone and answering it and can talk with no problems.  I wonder what that is.   Hmm, I'm kinda curious now.  

 I don't know what my vision is, SD. I only know the power level and it's extremely high, that and my estigmistism.    I've been wearing glasses since Grade 1.

isn't that when you are given glasses early in life and your eyes don't develop or something? They become weak? I'm confused.

I have alot of weak points! lol.

  I keep becoming allergic to more stuff, I always have to take allergy medicine. I have to take puffs for Ashma. I have to get a b12 injection every month if I want to have any energy at all.

I  am very clumsy and fall down alot, and I usually end up breaking something or pulling something when I do fall. I have extra sensitive skin in which  has allergic reaction to alot of things. I can't wear earrings or necklaces, bracelets, rings or watchs for long periods of time or I get a reaction. I have to be careful of what cream or makeup I put on my face because I am allergic to alot of that too.

   Hey Sparkleface.  I used to be like that when I was younger.  I was such a clutz and to this day, still is... I bruise easily and would come home with bruises that I didn't know where I got them from.    You know what helped?  I started to build my confidence and self esteem up.  I let to many people pick on me before that partially made me clumsy.  Another thing that I worked on was my core stabalizers.  I had to learn how to balance.  I still suck to this day though.

 No. I can't say I have entertain this idea. Needles and me don't exactly see eye to eye although I would take an epidural anytime anywhere. Maybe I'll give it some thought. I've heard only good things about acupuncture. Thanks for the suggestion.

oh major weakness my vertical is 8 inches.  Which explains why I can't dunk at sea level (went to colorado up into the mountains and I could air is lighter up there)  
   Dude if it's 8" when vertical, imagine what it turns into once it's horizontal!



You DO need to learn how to use it mind you, other than trying to dunk it at sea level.

And no, it's NOT considered weakness BTW... [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="vny!://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/e058.gif" border=0]
