Men Seldom Make Passes at Dogs Wearing Glasses


I have been experimenting, wearing my glasses instead of my contact lenses. I first wore glasses in my early 40's. They were large and kind of purplish burgundy. When I look at pictures of me in them I cringe, but believe it or not, various people, including a teacher or two at my children's elementary school, would say things like, "I wish I needed glasses so I could wear some like yours." But by my late 40's I discovered the joy of contacts. Once I started wearing them, glasses seemed like a nuisance.

That's why I couldn't understand the dog above in Virginia wearing them. This was not a joke. This dog was in the car next to ours at the gas station.

But wait---that was not an isolated experience! We went on an Alaskan cruise a few years ago, and this is what I saw in the window at a house in Ketchikan:


Well, they say it's a dog's world, and I'm back to wearing glasses too. One plus at my advanced age is that the glasses deflect attention away from my age-related droopy eyelids, and this way I don't have to clean my contacts every night. The vote's not in yet, but Elletu did tell me she thinks my glasses make me look younger, which sounds ludicrous to me.

As for BVG demographics, 100% of the BVGs need and have glasses, although some are just for reading. I think I am the only one of us who can say that 33 and 1/3% of my children wear glasses. At a BVGO reunion, would he make a SPECTACLE of himself???
