I need new glasses right now actually, I was able to pay for the office visit but the glasses cost $250.00. I can't afford it so I'm stuck with my old blurry glasses right now. I don't have a vehicle so I can't go out of town.

Thought about getting my prescription and having my friend in the Philippines get me a pair, for what he said was about $20 USD. I honestly can't see =(

Knowingly spewing BS like should be a crime. I've got 30 year old CD's that I've taken care of, which isn't that difficult at all. If a CD get's burnt up in a fire that's one CD, when a cloud service goes belly up, which happens often, that's millions of virtual CD's.
There are 1001 ways streaming services are NOT better. Let's not even talk about what happens if the electricity goes out or how a person can convert all their CD's to MP3's.

So I apologize, but you're full of it.

Comment Painting (Score 1) 41

I've been painting since 2017 and have made quite a few "real" copies of old masters paintings. It's great practice and you learn a little with each one. They're all hanging on my wall but I probably would let go of a few if someone wanted one. At least you would get a real painting and not something that came out of a printer.

From where I sit though, not many people are interested in buying paintings these days. Heck you rarely even see family pictures on the wall anymore, let alone a painting. I think it's unfortunate this art form is going the way of the dodo bird.
