My DH goes to sleep in his glasses ALL the time! It's not like he dozes off on the couch. He'll be in bed, all tucked in, fast asleep with his glasses on. He tells me its so he can really see his dreams good... LOL!

THAT can be a problem too!!! I have different glasses for reading, computer, sewing, and bifocals for when I want to see both close and far. I can never seem to find the right glasses when I need them!!! Reading glasses are all over the house so they will be where I can find them when I need them, but they always want to hide from me!!!

OMG you guys! I accidently went outside tonight to turn the hose on & THERE WERE BATS! Way up, high in the sky! Just waiting to get me! Can you say BOOKING IT?!? I nearly broke my neck getting back in the house! It was awful!

I was also thinking of another quirky habit I have (this was before I was outside & had the wits scared completely out of me). I take large pieces of fabric, cut them up & then sew them back together into patterns. Anybody else do that? LOL!

I believe you...I believe you big time.
For some odd reason I always concentrate way better with my glasses on.
That's how I know if I walk in the kitchen in the morning and don't know I don't have them on.
As soon as I try to do something, not only are things fuzzy but I don't know what I'm doing or why.
Go get glasses, get them on....AH! Hello world!

of course you do. We all know that the legs of the glasses pull our ears forward like big 'hear-catching' saucers

I quite agree. At the prices we pay, we should get two mandatory

hmmm...was just wondering if bats poop on ppl like regular birds do, then I did another of my quirky habits: I
answered myself.
A: nope,...nobody hangs around long enough to find out!
(A regular bird may do a poop-flyover, but a bat, well he's out for blood! thirsty little buggers! )
