Shoebox of Love 2012 - MOTHER'S DAY PACKAGE TRAIN

[hogama]

Hey Everyone,

I have to wear prescription eyeglasses and they broke, how do you use clearly contacts?

I'd love to get a few pairs as my 7 month old is now reaching!!!

First off, "like" Clearly Contacts on Facebook -- they release codes every so often. Either free or a % off.... Also, have your prescription written down, so you'll have it when you need it!

[MrsSunshine]

oh for sure... then you'll only have to pay shipping and handling.. keep in mind the free pair is only good for one per person per household..

Like everyone said "like" them on facebook

As long as you know your prescription you are good to go!!

I think my first pair because it was the free pair was originally listed as $68 but all I paid was under $10 for the S&H

Love them to piece, however it is time for a new pair, like pumpkin (i believe with her purses) I love to change my glasses with my outfits

At those prices my benefits which covered $250 I got 7 pairs which lasted me the 2yrs until I got to do it again

^ ^ I had gotten the free pair last summer.... with S&H, I think I paid something like $26. They were a frameless pair, and sooooo light! Anyway, in February, I noticed a crack where the earpiece connected to the lens..... I contacted CC, as the glasses have a 1 year warranty on them. I have no idea how the crack got there.... and when I contacted them, they asked for a pix... but said they couldn't do anything because it wasn't a manufacturer defect. Oh well........

[MrsSunshine]

I had the same problem too Hogmama.. mine was a hairline crack from the screw above the nose out.. and it causes the lense to move.. dizzying effect.. they said take it to a licensed optician get them to fix it. once we receive the bill for the repair from you.. will credit your account.. really?? for a $38 pair of glasses.. i'll just get another pair out of my drawer. LOL.

I wear glasses and contacts (REALLY bad vision. I can't even get a drivers licence because of it ) I've had the same pair of glasses for almost 5 years now and they're starting to look really sad haha. I accidentally stepped on them a year ago so the nosepiece is all bent and the lenses are scratched to crap because my son has some kind of magnetic appeal to them. I swear that kid can find them anywhere....and will also hide them anywhere grrr. You'd think i would have replaced them by now but i only wear them at night and keep putting it off. I think i should really look into this clearly contacts site. I've heard so many great things about it.

PS you have all given out so much great advice and resources that the box is almost becoming like the bonus of this whole train. Thank you to everyone!!!

PS again I did more shopping tonight

@ yellow tamborine

this is my third package train and when I was doing my first one and was wondering what kind of package I should do, I just went to the older train threads and looked at the pictures everyone was posting of what they got...that kind of gave me an idea of what to send!

[hogama]

Picnic recipe idea!!! I just received a PM from kimmiebt on here... I had asked her for her macaroni salad recipe! I can't wait to try it!



2 cups elbow macaroni, cooked then cooled with cold water
1 diced onion
1 can flakes of "garbage" your choice - ham, chicken, turkey
small amount of diced cucumber, tomato, anything you want to throw in.

(I use my Broccoli Salad dressing for this and also for my potato salad, we really like it)
Mix together:
3/4 cup Miracle Whip
1/4 cup sugar
2 tbsps. vinegar

Pour this over the macaroni mixture, stir and let it cool in fridge for several hours so the flavours can blend.

It doesn't get any easier than this and you can make any combo your family likes.

I need to make up some prizes for this train.... and I need opinions!
