    - I have VSP and since I live in a small town, my eye doctor is competative with Walmart. - Trish Feb 15, 21:23

  - plus there's the first pair and the second pair and even though it's new insurance, the lenses aren't covered on the first pair because i got contact - kare Feb 15, 20:50 2

    - does anyone in your family have a membership? - b! Feb 15, 20:53 2
      - hmm, yeah, but not with the same last name. thanks for the info. :) -- nm - kare Feb 15, 20:53 1
        
        the membership dealio says something like member of household... - b! Feb 15, 21:07
    - yes, you can, all they want is the card and maybe the friend to be there. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 15, 20:51
    - At the prices you're talking, the membership might pay for itself. -- nm - TFox Feb 15, 20:49 7
      - well. because i signed up for the wrong health savings account, i have to spend $1800 by the end of the year or i lose it - kare Feb 15, 20:51 6
        
        I had $1000 last year in flex, so I had my remaining silver fillings replaced with white. -- nm - loosilu Feb 15, 20:53
        
        Or you could have a qualifying life event and change your benefits. - TFox Feb 15, 20:53 4
        
        adoption - get the paperwork started now - :) -- nm - Epiphany Feb 15, 20:56
        
        well, not that that is an option (!!!) but we work for the same employer and thus have the same crappy benefits ;) -- nm - kare Feb 15, 20:54 2
        
        Just to explain my joke thinking, usually regardless of that, if you have a kid or get married or something at that level, you can change all your ben - TFox Feb 15, 20:56 1
        
        ah, i see. (no! no! no!!!) - kare Feb 15, 20:58
- this reminds me I need a new pair. Did I ever mention that my troublemaking cow orker got the same exact frames as me? down to the color. - loosilu Feb 15, 20:47 5
  - Does she call herself loosi? 'Cause this is getting totally Single White Female. -- nm - Mop Feb 15, 21:45
  - i'm a redhead now, did i tell you that? - kare Feb 15, 20:49 3
    - you did!! do you have pics? I'm all for red hair, it's just that this chick is bad news. -- nm - loosilu Feb 15, 20:50 2

what more do you need to know about Watchmen other than it's about superheroes? - pigby Feb 15, 20:11 25
- Yeah, calling it a superhero movie would be misleading. Maybe a psychological murder thriller about people in masks. -- nm - Mop Feb 15, 20:34 3
  - Sounds like a marketing nightmare - no wonder it's taken so long to happen. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 15, 22:22
  - Watchboy = Eyes Wide Shut? -- nm - Qale Feb 15, 20:42 1
