I recently had a patient run her glasses over with the car, and then expect me to sell her new ones "at cost" since she had bought the destroyed ones here.
I knew it was close to a full moon. Had I guy come in recently claiming he knew someone in the optical industry (which automatically made him an expert). Then he told me that he went to Vision Expo several years ago, hands me a Kata frame and says quietly "I know you guys pay like $40.00 for this, can you give me a bigger discount?" Then WINKS at me....Something new every day!
Wow! I would love a $40 Kata! That's less cost than a Steve Madden frame lol!I knew it was close to a full moon.

There are two full moons this month. Some call it a blue moon, but it's blue in name only.

This whole week has been testiment to the full moon being upon us.....
The full moon is a logical explanation! If you were here in Greece you wouldn't care about the full moon at all. Everyone is walking and speaking to hiself about the cut offs of the wages the Debt crisis, the upaied loans etc! So it's good to have only the moon to make you crazy!! :)
