One of the tips I learned at GYE is to take my glasses off when I go in the store; it helps. But I have a question: how do you respond to people you know if they ask you where your glasses are or why aren't you wearing your glasses? What do you say to them? How do you respond without saying to much?

i'm sorry sir/madam but you are just so extraordinarily ugly that i just cant stand to look at you
(okay so this isnt at all helpful i know)
i used to look back all the time saying "oh no! what have i done! Hashem help me erase the past." and i never heard a response.
finally i started looking forward saying "Hashem i'm leaving the past to you and i'm forgetting all about it. help me have a good future. help me from here and on be the person You want me to be." and that's where i realized Hashem had been waiting to help me all along

I say that since I wear glasses all the time, it's important for me to give my eyes a break for health reasons.

If you don't wear glasses just put on a pair of someone else's. I'll send you my old nerdy ones.

Perfect. Get a pair and wear them
Roy in the SA White Book noted that we frequently prayed and it did not work...because the best we could muster was begging G-d to "Please take it away, so I will not have to give it up!
