grr

Fuck.

I swear if it's not one thing it's another.

First I break my cellphone today, and now my glasses broke to the point they can't be repaired.

Even worse, I don't have any money at my disposal to get new glasses, so I'm kinda screwed.

I can see somewhat decently without them, but it's going to make it a pain to be able to do anything at all regarding making money.

If the lenses are intact, JBWeld can get you by for a few weeks. Isn't exactly pretty, but in a pinch...

how much does something like that run, and where can I get it?

5ish$, any hardware or car repair joint, fred meyers, etc. it's pretty common. it's a 2 part epoxy that cures rock hard. it's used alot for make do fixes on cars, I've used it as a seal on a PVC tube I pumped 100PSI into, it sealed the PSI meter for me. so it's more than strong enough for glasses. is a 60% grey in color once dried.

I might be able to go with something like that. But I won't be able to do it tomorrow because I'm watching my sister's kids.

My glasses fell apart the other day themselves. Maybe it's the apocalypse for glasses this week?

If you have your prescription information available, you can get inexpensive replacement glasses at Zenni Optical. (And by 'inexpensive' I mean 'as little as $8.00'.)

Sorry to hear that.
