The best thing invented since sliced bread IS contact lenses.

I got my first pair when I was 14. I remember begging my father. I was 4 before I knew trees had leaves. So by 14 my prescription was pretty thick.
Surprisingly he went for it, especially when the eye Dr. told him wearing these hard lenses would stop my vision from changing. Then came the lecture. As they were hard lenses, they had an adaptation period, you couldn't sleep in them, the list was long. I recall sitting in the waiting room after they taught me how to put them in.....I was reading a book. All these people were crying and had running noses. They were talking about just getting contacts.

I wasn't having any problems.......no adjustment period, I wore them home (dad lectured, I ignored) I had that same set of contacts for 10 years.

Since then they quit making the hard lense....and I had to go to soft. I never liked them. Couldn't see as crisply as my hard lenses. I tried toric, and I even tried mono vision. I actually didn't mind those (figures)...low and behold, I was reading on the internet that the hard lense are back and they build a bifocal around the edges, all the way around, so when you look down, you get bifocal, not like the sprinkle of bifocal you get in those soft lenses.

So I found an eye Dr who knew how to dispense them, (she wore them)
and I am as happy with these as I was when I was 14! Better than sliced bread.

Hot air popcorn poppers appeared for home use in the late 1970s, which produced popcorn with only 5% of its calories derived from fat.

The popcorn maker (also called popcorn machine) is a device used to pop popcorn. Commercial popcorn machines are usually found in movie theaters and carnivals, producing popcorn of the oil-popped type, which has approximately 45% of its calories derived from fat.
