Some people never do anything to help, but are gifted at finding fault with the way others do the work. They are called "Commie Taters." Some people are always looking to cause problems by asking others to agree with them. It is too hot or too cold, too sour or too sweet. They are called "Aggie Taters." There are those who say they will help, but somehow just never get around to actually doing the promised help. They are called, "Hezzie Taters." Some people can put up a front and pretend to be someone they are not. They are called "Emma Taters." Then there are those who love and do what they say they will.

Are you disenchanted with them? Or are they no longer in business? Maurie Dear Maurie That was Clearly Contacts. https://www.clearly.ca/ They are still in business and still sell you glasses for $38 - $50, that others charge $400 for.I got cataract operations about ten years ago, and don't need expensive glasses since then. Talk to your optometrist about a cataract operation. Some don't like the idea, because their income falls away. Look online for optical surgons who do the operation, and book an appointment for a check-up. The actual operation is fast and easy and probably covered by your medical insurance. The nuisance part of it is that you need a driver to bring you home afterward. The same as with any optical exam, your eyes get dilated and it is not safe to drive for the rest of the day. Afterwards you might need reading glasses (Three for $15). They will last you many years, until you sit on them and break them. I highly recommend the cataract operation. Fast, easy, painless, and cheap. Have FUN! DearWebby An engineering student, a physics student, and a mathematics student were each given $150 dollars and were told to use that money to find out exactly how tall a particular hotel was. All three ran off, extremely keen on how to do this. The physics student went out, gathered a few friends, purchased some stopwatches, a number of ball bearings, and a calculator. He had the friends time the drop of ball bearings from the roof, and he then figured out the height from the time it took for the bearings to accelerate from rest until they impacted with the sidewalk. The math student purchased a protractor, plumb line, tripod and measuring tape. She waited until the sun was going down, then used her equipment to measure the length of the shadow, and find the angle the building's roof made from the ground. Then she used trigonometry to figure out the height of the building. Of course, with all that was involved in getting this experiment done, they were up plenty late studying for exams in other courses. These two students bumped into the engineering student the next day, who looked quite refreshed. When asked what he did to find the height of the building he replied, "Well, I walked up to the bell hop, gave him 10 bucks, asked him how tall the hotel was, and went inside for happy hour!" | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | If you like my work,
