[PyrNet-L] ingenuity

I fell asleep in bed a couple of nights ago watching a moving.  Left my 
glasses and the remote control laying next to me.  Woke up in the morning to 
find my glasses broken in two pieces right in the middle, at the piece that 
lays over the bridge of the nose.  Christmas rather blew the budget, so 
couldn't rush right out and get a new pair of glasses.  Had to find a way to 
mend them because I can't see very well without my glasses and contacts don't 
work for me.

First tried scotch tape because it was still lying about handy and easily 
accessible, but that didn't work so well.  Couldn't find any super glue 
around the house and my 3M surgical glue was old.  However, while digging 
through the doggie medical supplies kit, came across that colorful 3M bandage 
wrap that stretches and self sticks.  I have purple, blue, and pink "in 
stock".<g>  Cut an appropriately sized piece (out of the blue roll) and used 
it to mend my glasses.  Works like a charm.  My 18 yr old daughter who's 
moving to New York in a few weeks to attend the Fashion Institute of 
Technology says it even looks stylish!  It's also quite comfortable and now 
my glasses have that "flex" quality which makes them much more durable.<g>  
As an added bonus I can change the wrap to color coordinate if I so choose.
