So anyway, Juliet bent mine so bad a few months back that one of the side pieces broke. I've been holding it together with tape. At the bus stop the other morning, a neighbor leaned in close and said, "Do you have tape holding your glasses together??" I replied, "Yes...yes I do." I've never bothered to go get new frames because I just don't wear my glasses that often. Plus, Christmas is coming up and I didn't want to blow $100 on an item that I loathe.
So anyway, I was thinking about how I could mend them. I'd tried JB weld twice but it just wasn't doing the trick. (Which for me is a first because JB Weld has always exceeded my expectations.) So upon further pondering, I discovered the solution! I ran to the dollar store and bought a cheap pair of metal rimmed sunglasses. I came home and took the side piece off the cheap sunglasses and attached it to the side of my glasses. Presto!
I fixed my glasses for $1.29! The brownish side piece in the foreground is new, the orangish one is original. Hopefully I get laser eye surgery before I need to replace the frames.

Glad you figured out a cheap fix!!I so could've used that tip a month ago. Instead I blew way too much money on a new pair that will hopefully prove indestructable.
That is pretty amazing. You've kind of a got an engineer/contractor mind in that head of yours. I, however, like my glasses. I feel like I look like I have make-up on even when I don't. And I also feel that I kind of look like a chicken when I don't have them on.
That it so brilliant!
