    It absolutely does. I have an optometrist that I'll never leave. He got my vision to 20/13 with contacts. Best I ever had with glasses is 20/40. So I'm gonna take the glasses script he wrote me on my last checkup. I won't get glasses through him because glasses at a real optometrist are extremely expensive. But if I take my script and go to lens crafters, I can afford it.

    I didn't have eye or dental coverage at the shop that I left yesterday (best day EVER lol), an eye exam plus a pair of prescription sunglasses and a pair of regular glasses at LensCrafters was about $700 altogether. $70 of that was an optional $35 insurance cost for each pair, as long as you have any part of the glasses left to bring to them, no matter what happened to them they'll replace them for $25. Both are Ray-Ban frames, they were in the middle of the pack price wise. Hopefully that should be the last time I come out of pocket $700 for 2 pairs of glasses, it'll be nice to have eye & dental with Millis lol

    I don't have vision coverage either. My last eye exam ran me around 150 and that was for contacts and glasses. Contacts were 200/year, I can take either of my scripts anywhere to get them filled. You might wanna look elsewhere. You can get glasses at a 1 hour place 2/100 if you already have a script.

    Yeah, that's what I dropped for glasses and prescription sunglasses this past week. I probably should have waited for insurance but I wanted to have backup options before I get out on the road. Don't want to be blind when I can't get my contacts in or late at night.

    @Steelersjunkie Looks like your posts are still there on that thread.

    I ordered glasses throught them. Got 3 pair because they had sale going on. Those went in the garbage about 2 days after I got them. My optometrist ran them through his machines and determined that they were so far off, I would have been better off with nothing at all. First and last purchase through them.

    Verizon’s pricey, but in the 7 years I’ve been with them I’ve only encountered one place where I didn’t have service and that was way down on the eastern shore in a swamp along the Bay.

    I had T-mobile for the 7 years before that, and while T-mobile seems to have come a long way they sure sucked at that time. It only worked in towns.

    I was with TMobile 10-15 years ago, I had 2 dead spots with them, at work in the break room and in my living room. So pretty much the worst 2 places possible lol! I was a little hesitant to go back to them but I figured it's been awhile, and in electronics 15 years is like forever, they've been good so far fingers crossed

    Would be nice to see someone fix this site, if you place the cursor to the left of a letter and hit space it jumbles the text up and goes all screwy. If you leave a space after the cursor it works ok... Still kind of a pain to use
