Pluggers by Rick McKee for November 23, 2022

Or your hearing aid!

unless you want clean glasses

You’re a plugger when you’re taking a shower and wonder why the shampoo doesn’t seem to be working, so you read the directions on the bottles…….Wet Head First. Um, yeah. Tru story!

Nope ! Never did that one . Take glasses off and forget where I put them … Yep !

If most wristwatches weren’t water resistant, I’d have to buy a new one quite often.

and your hearing aides . . .

And if they’re sunglasses, you’re a hipster not a Plugger.

Or realize you’ve left your hearing aids in. I did.

Or, if you had LASIK ten years ago, you still reach to remove your glasses before getting in the shower.

Sometimes I almost need to when staying in a motel and trying to determine which micro-bottle is the shampoo and which one is the conditioner.

Or worse yet, your hearing aids are still in.

After getting mono-vision LASIK, I don’t wear my glasses inside. Before that, I used the dog SHAMPOO, because it was the only bottle out of seven that I could read.

excellent way to thoroughly clean your frames and lens.

or your hearing aids!!

or, worse yet you’re hearing aids.

Never done that, I have looked for my glasses while wearing them though. I don’t wear my hearing aids enough to worry about forgetting to take them off in the shower. (also they are water resistant and shower is OK, deep submersion while swimming not so much.)

Your a plugger if you take a shower and leave you hearing AIDS in

Glasses or hearing aids. Take your pick.

Hey, My glasses needs cleaning, too.

or hearing aid in.

If a dirty old man takes a shower, he is upgraded to Plugger.

Or your hearing aid in!

How about thinking you were going blind and then remembered you still had your dark glasses on when you walked in the house?

Been there, done that.

Always wearing glasses except when sleeping or showering or reading (generally magazines, rarely books any longer). But not always the same glasses. When we traveled (& will, hopefully again) I would bring along – my progressive lens glasses, my distance sunglasses, my prescription sunglasses, my progressive lens that change to sunglasses glasses, my prescription reading (near distance) glasses, & my distance glasses. Oddly when reading – as mentioned generally magazines (history, current events or needlework) I find it easiest to read without glasses including my near distance glasses. I tend to wear the near distance glasses when in the house – wearing them now while on my laptop in kitchen. I wear the distance glasses in bed to watch TV or I am looking through the near distance part when lying down.

Something I never thought of & I am guessing most to none who wear think of – Some years ago we were in Barnes and Nobles at night – pre pandemic we would separate in stores when walking around. He texted to me to meet him at the front door to leave. I was there first and took off my glasses to wipe them clean on my shirt. I suddenly realized that I had a lens in my left hand and the frame with the other lens in it in my right hand. even worse, I realized that since it was night and too dark to drive my prescriptions sunglasses which are in the car if I was alone (ha, ha – like I would out without him) I would not be able to get home until he came and brought me another pair of glasses. So I had a pair of basic distance glasses made and we keep them in the car – just in case.

I have worn eyeglasses since second grade and am extremely used to wearing same. Husband never needed glasses until after his cataract surgery over a decade ago and has has much trouble adjusting to them. He bought a pair of progressive lenses as he had trouble seeing thing on the dashboard when wearing his distance glasses and is still having trouble adjusting to them.
