Lost prescription glasses and the power of asking for help Login/Join

Four weeks ago I got glasses from Costco.

Three weeks ago I lost said glasses.

Searching, calling around driving back to stores and a restaurant did no good.

Asking those watching over me for assistance on the other hand, well.

On numerous occasions I asked them, to either guide me, leave a clue or show me where they were.

Today 12/17 ,was Taco Tuesday at a place we like,

We would not generally drive ten miles out of our way,
But today we threw caution to the wind and upon arriving our favorite waiter said
" Close your eyes"

So I did and when I opened them ,
He had my new glasses .
He had found them and held them for me.

So when your earthly solutions fail to produce,
Consider ask those watching over you.




Safety, Situational Awareness and proficiency.

Glad you found them, Bendable. Sometimes all you need is a prayer.

The lesson here is you shouldn't wait 3 weeks to have Taco Tuesday again.

Glad you got them back. Not having your glasses is miserable.

A local DQ has Taco Tuesday. We ate there today.
I'm glad you found your glasses.

Feel your pain (Very stressful situation that is always a threat). Very glad I got Lasik a few years ago (Just wish I gotten it 10 years earlier, glasses and contacts are so damn expensive now, break-even line is probably only 5-7 years)

Sounds to me like you skipped a couple of Taco Tuesdays. Live and learn my friend.
