Wherefore, when I before them do appear, That which to them seems doubtful, I make clear. Now when this business I have thus begun, I'll not dismounted be till I have done: Then shall I to my Lodging be convey'd, Till I in this kinde am again employ'd.

Having undergone sugery to correct a deviated septum, I can assure you, there is bone there! IP Logged "Pi goes on and on and on ... And e is just as cursed.

I was thinking of glasses in general. But with the restriction, it makes more sense. Thanks! IP Logged "Pi goes on and on and on ... And e is just as cursed.

I wear glasses or contact lenses all the time, but my mother, for example, only wears glasses while reading.
