Anyone else completely glasses-dependent like me?  I'm basically blind
and incapacitated without my glasses, and contacts hurt my eyes.  So
tonight on the bus at 7 PM on a Saturday night the temple of my
glasses broke.  Totally unusable and not really fixable.  I don't have
a spare pair that are relatively comfortable and unscratched.  I'm
leading a trip to a museum tomorrow.  This will be exciting. 
Coincidentally I had an eye Dr. appointment scheduled for Monday to
get new glasses anyway, so that's lucky--my insurance pays for a new
pair every year.  But I'm not a happy camper.  Lesson learned--always
have backup glasses!  They broke at work once and I almost couldn't
get home, even on public transportation.  Tough to see things like bus
numbers without glasses if you're blind like me.  Any glasses-wearers
out there had a similar experience?
