Let's talk sunglasses.......

I don't mind spending the extra money as I keep track of them better.

I go with the darkest tint I can find and mirror finish. My uncle taught me at a hooters years ago that people can't see where you're looking if the tint is dark enough. 😀

P.S. That only works if you remember not to move your head.

Look like a douche for a tenth of the price!

He's actually there for the guys so busy ogling the "talent" they don't notice him checking them out. :lol:

Oakley radar-justify the price for covering my dry eyes-especially good when biking. but no polarization-salt water is too hard on it.

Scooty got it right. We and the hubby went there for Valentine's Day one year.

I've been in Seattle for a year. I brought Ray bans and walked around like an idiot for three days before I realized there would be no further need.

I now realize why the depression rate is so high here, and am ecstatic to be making it back next month.

I will likely go half blind even with sunglasses on, as I've only seen the sun an average of one or two days per month over a period of 14 months.

Ray Ban shall I wear.

I used to buy crap glasses until a friend convinced me that if I poinied up some big bucks I would take better care of them.

I tried the same philosophy with both sunglasses and watches.

Doesn't work. I should be arrested for shades and timepiece neglect and abuse.

I finally gave up wearing watches (haven't worn one in years) and I usually just buy several pair of sunglasses at once knowing they're already doomed.

When I quit working as a Business Development Manager at Saturn of Pensacola back in '07 just a few months before the economic downturn caused them to shut their doors, I started full time mental fitness training (most of which is online). I spent 2008 and 2009 working almost every day at the beach with my laptop and various portable electronic junk that allows me to conduct business without having to be in an office.

Think of it, Teresa. Almost every day. At the beach. Can't even really call it 'work', y'know?

But, at some point I lost my mind and decided that wasn't good enough and that I needed to spend some time in the big city to benefit from the company of people immersed in major business environments. I have family in the Seattle, and there's lots of water thus lots of ability to kayak and sail and such, so off I went.

I LOVE Seattle. Really, really neat people once you get past the usual lunatics, losers, criminals, and shysters that infest every metropolis. Then again, I've even enjoyed drinking the occasional coffee with various lunatics, losers, criminals, and shysters. Too, the people on the whole are very cocooned, psychologically. A loud, friendly southerner reaching out to shake their hand totally throws them for a loop. It makes you popular, but it's always the same thing - having to break into 'cliques' of standoffish people who run in familiar packs. I could never get used to that. People just die quietly in their homes, living right next to one another, without ever getting to know one another in that neighborly, southern way.

The restaurants, entertainment, nightlife, and the Arts scene - peerless.

The weather, maddening.

Remember my mentioning I spent two years working at the beach most days?

In Seattle, there's seldom any reason to look up at the sky. It's often like being stuck indoors, in a cave, and that has colored my experience in a very gray, dulling way.

Since I've done what I came to do, and discovered that I'm actually more productive than most of the 'big business' types I hang out here with - and since I have heard them talk over and over again about how they would love to be in an area like The Emerald Coast, I began to realize a few months back that it's time to hustle my hiney back down to paradise.

I'm gonna check out my old hangouts, make sure the wi-fi is still operating, get re-connected with the 'office' people who like to play hooky and work at the beach with me, and lose the long sleeve shirts and jeans to don my tank top, shorts, and flip flops for a productive workday.

Seattle just can't compare. It's great to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there, as they say.

One of the big city aspects of sowal!

fascinating experiences.

"people quietly die in their homes...." isn't that kind of how it is in big city places everywhere?

live in SoWal and travel to the big city when you feel like it. works for us.

you should have seen the amazing sky in SoWal today. along with the most unusual gulf waves and colors. it was pure magic. there were crazy kite/wind surfers out on Seagrove Beach hauling a$$ across the big waves. The wind was huge.
