(Never be tempted to go back to your old glasses.) A good trick is to do something that absorbs you that involves your distance vision and your close-up.

How did you feel about it at the time<br /><br />I was not told to wear them full time, but my 16-year old daughter was. She was very upset about it. She has had them for about six months now and is only just beginning to accept the fact that she has to keep them on all the time. She was really miserable about it at first.

I think children and teenagers are advised to. My daughter was recently diagnosed with myopia (near sightedness) and the doctor said she should be in glasses all the time. The reason was more to do with a slight lazy eye than the myopia.

User who ask more question or who answer more questions?<br /><br />The tendency to ask or answer questions on Answerbag is probably a very unreliable indicator of intelligence. This is especially true if you do not consider the quality of the questions and answers. So the answer is that it is impossible to infer intelligence from that behavior. Indeed, it...

This does not mean they are Arabs. You might as well argue that Peruvians are really Romans because most of them are Roman Catholics and they use the Roman alphabet.

The ability to read, speak, and write a foreign language sharpens your linguistic awareness of your own language, allows you to communicate with other people, gives you access to more literature and other cultural experiences (such as opera),and completes your education.

They are not toys, and if your boyfriend is &quot;practically blind&quot; without them, you should certainly not play around with them.

Also, they frequently also sell anti-reflective add ons to minimize fatigue from glare.

ABC, CBS and all get their "news" from the White House? Is that the reason only Fox News is calling Obama a Social Nationalist?<br /><br />If you believe that, you will believe anything! The reason that Fox has resorted to name calling is that rational argument only underscores the bankruptcy of the policies that led to the crisis we are facing today.

I believe this is grammatical. What do you think?<br /><br />No, it is not ungrammatical although as others have pointed out, it is neither concise nor elegant. Part of the issue here is to do with the nature of &quot;send&quot;. This verb (like &quot;give&quot;) has a direct and an indirect object. Some people believe that the indirect object cannot...

And public displays of barbarism are even more barbaric. In contrast, I am sure that Osama bin Laden would enjoy a public execution of George W. Bush. But Osama and I have different standards.

As a very broad generalization, I would steer clear of individual stocks unless you are comfortably off (investable assets of over $5 million.) I would spread the part of your wealth that you wish to put in...

If so, is there anything you can say or share about it? If not, would you ever?<br /><br />A friend of one of my children was going on vacation. All her money was stolen a few days before, and her dad had lost his job. Her mom is a good friend of mine, and I asked her to replace the money and leave it in her passport -- without saying anything. She still cannot remember ever...

It has changed from being an enquiry about health to an indicator that someone wants to civil and courteous. As long as you accept that evolution, it is not pointless.

The problem is that it is difficult to know where to draw the line. They can become habitual and grow into big lies. Also, people get tempted to kid themselves that something is a white lie when it really isn&#039;t. Conclusion -- minimize the use of white lies and...

Some people are uncomfortable with silence while others find their peace with it. (This can be an difference between extroverts and introverts.) The trick is to acknowledge that and figure out how to deal with it.

Hasn't he effectively shown that electing unqualified people isn't a good idea?<br /><br />You are right in general, but extremely stupid people don&#039;t learn from their mistakes, and will frequently make the same mistakes again. The good news is that the American electorate seemed to figure it out this time around, and a decisive majority voted for sanity.

With the outbrake of swine flu should i drink another kind until they have this outbreak contained.<br /><br />No, you don&#039;t have to worry about a beer made in Mexico. The precautions you might take include frequent washing of hands, avoid touching your eyes, use tissues (and throw them away), and avoid hand shaking. Buy a hand sanitzer and use it frequently. And cover your mouth when you...

I will DR someone who is disrespectful, dishonest, or abusive. But that&#039;s about it.

Its my brothers wedding in a few months and Im not sure he will go! Is this break up material.. cus im thinking it is?<br /><br />Communication might be an issue here. He may not like to go, but it is possible that he does not have a clue that this is so important to you. I think you need to tell him (kindly) that this is really important and could possibly be a &quot;make-or-break&quot; issue in your relationship. ...

The company is unwilling to take a risk without a deposit. Your only remedy is to prove that you pay on time and in full for a period. Then they might relent and allow you to take your deposit back.

These risks include infection, damage to the cornea, and corneal ulcers. You could damage your vision permanently or you may find you cannot wear contacts any more. If you are lucky, you might find that you need more expensive lenses after an incident! ...

The fact is: America has a new president...It doesn't matter if he is black, blond or sunburns easily. Is not referring to him as a 'black' president, prejudicial?<br /><br />Good point. And I think Obama did a great job of running as the most qualified candidate and did not position himself as a &quot;black&quot; president.

Proper nouns include names of people, places,trade names, corporations, organizations, laws, and so on.

They&#039;re really not hard to master. I know that there are people who don&#039;t but, in my humble opinion, they&#039;re out of their minds. So there you have it!

It's kinda like how the Bush supporters once were. Am I noticing a trend here?<br /><br />We live in a world where liberals appear to be naive and unwise to conservatives. Conservatives seem heartless and selfish to liberals. It has always been like that, and it always will be!

If so, how did your spouse react?<br /><br />As soon as the ceremony and the reception were over, I put on casual clothes and we went straight to the airport on our honeymoon.
