- Comment on I did not look up how progressive lenses really work before getting some. 6 hours ago:
They are super hard to get properly aligned. The absolute vast majority of people that work in eye glass shops have ZERO clue on how to set them up. They will claim until they die that they know how to do it. They don’t have a clue. And they don’t understand that. That’s the real problem. They think they know and they don’t.
And the more sensitive your eyes are to minute changes(tiny changes). The problem gets many times worse.
The best I can say is go to one person have them keep working on it. Do not let anybody else touch them. Keep working the same person. If you realize this person can’t get them right and it could take several visits by the way. Then blacklist that person and go to the next person in the same shop. Repeat this until you’ve gone through everybody in the same shop. Then go to the next shop and start over. Keep doing this until youcan find somebody who has a clue. It’s going to take a while. Trust me. I have exactly one person in Town that he can do it. By the way, my city is about 60,000 people in just this town. 60,000 population that is. And there are quite a few eyeglass places in town.
To those who are reading this, if you work in eyeglass shops, and you’re sitting there thinking, but everybody in my shop is really good. Then you have no what’s going on. And you’re part of the problem. Because if you’re thinking, everybody in your shop can do it that means nobody in your shop can do it.
Think of it this way. Imagine everybody on a baseball team says I am really great and everybody my team is really great. Then your entire team sucks. Because in every team, there are people who are really, really good and people are mediocre and people are bad. So if you honestly believe that, everybody in your team is really really good then you’re clueless.
So I guess the best advice I can give to the original poster is keep trying with different people and try to find somebody’s good. Or go to bifocals.

I run a business. If my phone rings and I don’t answer the customer is probably calling the next business. That’s not good for me.

True. But what about the meth lab that burnt down or the prostitution rv? Or the garbage?
- Comment on Neighbors take back Southeast Portland street, replacing RVs with community garden 4 weeks ago:
In the video she talks about how one was a meth lab that literally burnt down. Another was used for prostitution. Directly across the street from someone’s house where they had little kids. People were just dumping trash (shown in video).

- Comment on If you could have any vision-related superpower, what would it be? 1 month ago:
Future vision. Hello stock market. They can kick me out of a casino for winning too much but they can’t really do anything if I’m making too much money in the stock market. Even if they tried to claim insider trading or market manipulation or whatever they still have to prove it in a courtroom. They fail because I’d have attorneys because even a halfway decent attorney would win that one. I wouldn’t even have to claim my future vision I could just claim i’m just picking the stocks. They’d have to prove that I’m doing something else.

Registering to vote and knowing (who is running and what issues are on the ballot) are two different things. Ok technically the stuff in the parenthesis are two items but I’m grouping them.

Thank you for the clarification, I actually thought the ex-husband was living in the house. But thank you for clarifying that.
And thank you for the rest of the explanation also in the first two paragraphs. And explains a lot of what is going on or might be going on.

Just be aware that in many areas if you aren’t divorced then sleeping with someone else is called infidelity. Judges tend to get pissed about that during divorce proceedings.
