I don't think I've ever met anyone who's my age (27) who's lawfully collecting social security.

Guess you never heard of SSI ( Supplimental Social Security ) otherwise known as a crazy check.

I've been forced to wear glasses since 1st grade... tried contacts, but could never get used to that feeling of something in my eye. Lasik always intrigued me, but I didn't want to be told 19 years down the road that the procedure was the cause of me losing my eyesight either.

Hell, I got Silver dollars, Franklin and Standing Liberty Halves, Mercury dimes, and Indian Head cents.

I'm still on the frisky side of 40, and I've had glasses since I was 7 (and contacts since 13), but I knew I was in trouble when I couldn't count the steps on a nickel with my lenses in. At my last eye appointment I was advised to begin wearing reading glasses in addition to my contact lenses. There's a sweet spot about eight inches from my face where things are in focus, everything else is a blur.

Ouch I had to get progressive (tri-focal) glasses 3 months ago.

When you look across the room at a coin show and it looks like the ocean on an overcast, choppy day - all the gray hair seeming like a shag carpet... Cheers, RickO

When the rare coins you now collect use to be pocket change.
