Of the two pairs of glasses I have , while I am fully homeless and have no real money , as my replacement ATM card has not come for approaching two weeks and it seems likely it will not come for till at least next week :( - Both have had the ears-held-up-by fall off of them , from my use of these cheap drugstore generics/readers (I have not had prescription glasses in many many years :cry: ) and stuffing them in my one homeless bag's side pocket and getting them out , etc.
One of the two had both ear-supportees fall of long ago , it really cannot long-term balance on my face at all ~ While the other one , which I am now wearing , has , just to-day :( , had one of the two ear-ees fall off , if the other one falls off of it too (And the one fell off of this one just when I was unfolding it to put it on , I wasn't being rough with it or naught) , WHAT WILL I DO :(? I live to read , really - and it's about all I CAN do :( ! !! !! !! !! !!
The cheap three-packs of lower-end generics at Walgreens' cost about 15 dollars .

Are there charities where you live that could help you find new glasses? In my area there are donation boxes where people can drop their old prescription or reading glasses.

...I should correct this slightly ~ I did find another , still with the " ear-holders " on either side , pair of generic .
However , they're " dirty " ones and still what of little I have .
Incientally , last night , sleeping HL in the alley (actually a legal street , but it looks like an " alley ") I did have a MAJOR ddiahreeic(sp) poop attack . :cry:
I REALLY NEED HELP ! :cry:
