Hey, Ma -- do you or Dad have a soldering iron I could borrow? And, y'know, teach me how to solder?

That happened to me a few days ago. I mentioned it to adrian_turtle, who told me her optician says they're making them less sturdy than they used to.

Is this one of the little plastic bits that keep your glasses from poking a hole in your nose? If so, any optometrist shop can replace them for very little money - probably less than $10.00 - Felis Sidus

Oh. Darn. I'd try the optician's shop where I got them. They may be able to fix them, if anyone can. Good luck. - Felis Sidus
