So leave them in the car!

If you need the "security", get another pair to keep in the house.

There are drugstore chains that sell generic glasses for, I believe, less than $10, which you can keep as backups to look for your "main" glasses.

Yes But:
Those are Reading Glasses, for the old folks whose eyes can no longer focus close-up for reading. It seems that with age, the lens in the eye stiffens and the muscles can not bend the lens enough for close focusing. That's the opposite of your problem.

These are just to be used momentarily until the main ones are found. Then put away in a designated place in case the main pair is lost at some point.

Since there seems to be some misunderstanding, be sure to "try-before-you-buy".

A former prof who wore glasses would wear them in his forehead, while shouting " Who stole my glasses? Who's the bastard who took my glasses? He was put to pasture shortly after his outbursts.

I do that without the outbursts. More of an internal, "What the hell? Where are they? Oh, there they are. Idiot."

My annoying bit has been the " I want coffee -flavored coffee" from Dennis O' Leary. I say it weekly.

I've been saying that (coffee flavored coffee) for decades. Starting back when the "french vanilla" and hazelnut "creamers" came out. Ughh. Give me black coffee no sugar, please! Tho I did go through a Cuban phase when I worked in south Florida (that's espresso supersaturated with sugar, lol).

I was in love with her, Bo, Olivia, Carly Simon Album covers, Susan Dey, a few others, and before that Marcia Brady but I won't get into that.

Please, don't leave Farrah off this list!

Sugar with a drop of coffee. Wasn't it called " Cortadito" or something like that?

Or the Yankee Rose.

Just the women we loved from the 70s and 80s.

You're a Yank so won't get this but we had Susan Penhaligon.
She was in edgy stuff in the 1970s but looking back she had such a beautiful face.
First crush Olga Corbet, she was 15 and I was 6. It never would have worked. I would have have struggled with Russian and her heavy training and tournament schedule.

Funny, I just watched The Land That Time Forgot yesterday. It happened to come on after something else I was watching.

That's great. It was "bouquet of barbed wire" I first saw her.

Can't sign that petition. Don't know enough Chemistry ( understatement) to determine if Hemp plastic is better than current plastic.

May I remind you that we are on a science forum, and all of this started with science stuff, e.g., the bionic woman, AND that Farrah was actually married to the six million dollar man?

You cannot get more sciency than this.

That depends on the time you're looking into. It has been Latin, French, German, and now it is English. See my signature!

A majority of Americans think it's all Greek.

We say "That sounds Spanish to me" over here or "I only understand (railway) station". Don't ask me why.

Ive heard Greeks tell me they say " It's Chinese to me".

I wonder what they'd think of recordings of their voice/sounds.

I wonder whether dry-nosed primates would recognize recordings of their own voices at all. Ok, penguins will, but do we?
