Well, I went price shopping today for a new pair of glasses. Laz drove me around and made all the style comments (much better than I could especially when I'm blind). We went by a number of stores, although two were closed and one was part of an optomotrist's clinic. The prices for the frames were fairly consistent. From two hundred to two fifty for the titanium frames with magnetic clip-ons (which is what I want to get). The lenses on the other hand vary a bit more. I was quoted five hundred dollars(!) at one of the places for the high end lenses (which in conjunction with their half price lens offer put them in about the same range as everyone else). I might check out Lenscrafters again. The first place was rather low on the frame stock. I think I'll go shopping again on Thursday.
Afterward, we went to a Canadian Tire to find a snap ring for my window regulator handle. Apparently they don't have any, and the only place where I could find one was at the dealership. Great. I guess I'll be looking for one at the scrapyard. I guess the "universal" ones I got won't work. *fumes* Yet another lesson learned..
I saw on TV an ad for Midas for a free lube and filter for any purchase and installation of a new brake pad. *thinks* Well, considering that I'm not planning to keep this car for more than a year, I don't know if I really should bother with the new brakes. Mind you, I would like to get the handbrake fixed. *rubs chin*
Apparently CJF has a new kitten! She sent me (and probably a hundred other people) some pictures of the black furball.

Don't skimp on the glasses. You are going to be wearing them 16 hours a day and it the thing that everyone sees.

Oh no, I'm definitely not skimping on these glasses. Titanium frame with magnetic clip ons. The lenses will have to be durable too..
