Actually no we don't but we all have a nose

Hopefully this will work. I found a site called "Voki" where you can create animated versions of yourself. Alas, I couldn't find a way to link to my voki, unless I e-mailed it to myself and used the link created in the e-mail notification.

I hope the link from that e-mail works here!

Let me know if it works, or not...

Cute. So you wear glasses, do you? Me, too...except when I'm wearing contact lenses. Legally blind people of the world, unite!

[TPoptarts]

Heh my dad wears glasses. And my sister too. They're not like "legally blind" though... they're just like uh "optically challenged" or something.

[JadziaKathryn]

That's great - optically challenged. I can add it to vertically challenged. (In high school when I passed 5' I was super excited.) I've been wearing glasses since 5th grade. I'm wicked nearsighted.

[evcake]

Since 2nd grade. They went great with the braces in middle school. Sigh.

[TPoptarts]

No glasses for me... and I've never passed 5'

[evcake]

You have time yet.

[TPoptarts]

Nah. I stopped growing at 13. It's in my x-rays

Hey as long as your feet reach the ground you are tall enough.

My Mom was 4' 11" when she was at her maximum height. At 89 she is a bit shorter now.

Don't let anyone tell you anything different about it, you are perfect for you.

Tell that to my parents they even blame me for my height. Because they're both like 5'7", and my sisters are like 5'8", 5'2", and still growing 5'4". Well there always has to be something wrong with me so they took me to the doctor to see why I'm not growing to my potential height or whatever. And he was evil and did evil stuff. And he wanted to stick needles in me too. But I didn't go to the needle appointment eventually because I hid at my friend's house

I just wish it were easier to find pants. The ones on the clearance rack are never short.

I've been wearing glasses since 5th grade. I'm wicked nearsighted.

Me too, The laptop screen in front of me is slightly fuzzy, and I can't see clearly more than 2-3ft in front of me without my glasses.

I've worn glasses since I was 3 years old.

I had eye surgery at 10 months, and another surgery when I was 7 or 8 (it was after Star Wars came out, I know that because I picked item I could take home from Children's Hospital, where I had the surgery, was a Star Wars poster you could color in). For 3 1/2 years, from August 20, 1982, til mid-March 1986 (otherwise known as my 7th, 8th, 9th and most of 10th grade years), I didn't have to wear glasses at all.

But now I'm stuck with them (or my contacts) again. I went from being extremely farsighted to being nearsighted...

[Kevin Thomas Riley]

Yup, I have glasses and I've had glasses since I was 8 years old. I'm also one of those wickedly near-sighted people. I've had glasses for so long now that I could never wear contacts. The glasses are now so much a part of me that I'd feel like an entirely different person without them.

I wear them with pride!
