Well, I am only slightly near-sighted and only need them for reading street signs from a distance, and watching TV or a movie. Other than that I don't wear them (which is why they were in my pocket rather than on my head). Plus I have a second pair, which on the same day.... BROKE! On of the arms just fell off. A screw gave out or something, and the springy thingy is long gone. Brand new (4 months) and now I need to send them in for repairs! But at least at home I could wear them to watch TV with just one arm.

Try this:

When a bill comes in, sit down and fill it out, write the check, and put the mailing date you want to send it in the spot for the stamp, and put them in my out going slot. I get paid on the 1st and the 15th, so I have bills set up to be due on the 5th and the 20th. So I pull the group out for the 15th at that time, put the stamps on the dated area, seal the envelope, and off they go. I'm salery so my checks are always the same, and I know my budget, so it's a matter of doing the work. By doing it as they come in you spread it out. I also have douplicate checks, and when I'm sending them out, I go to the doups and enter all the checks at that time.
