Just picked up some 6-packs of contact lenses today, and looked on the box.

SURPRISE! MADE IN INDONESIA .

These are the CIBA vision FOCUS VIFILCON A.

Get them while they're still available! Same goes for ANYTHING you can think of that's made from PETROLEUM. Yes, contact lenses are.

The same for most medicines both Rx and over-the-counter. Also, most cheap clothes and shoes, any cheap metal product (base steel comes from Japan and Malaysia stamping plants....usually our old cars and seagoing vessels) and the plastic for our eyeglasses.

We're ok but the rest of the world has troubles. Right!! We will merrily sail along without a care in the world and the Dow will top 15K.

Who knows, maybe the pit WILL learn to sing!

I actually bought 7 pair of shoes this month.

I use the disposable contacts. For about a year, I have been cleaning, disinfecting them, and saving them in a small jar of disinfectant. I should have about twenty pairs in there by now. I just got a new fill on my prescription, another 6 months worth, so by the time the ball drops, I should have enough to keep me. Liz

And don't forget to have a back-up magnifying glass.

Good for starting campfires from sunlight, too.

Quilts are another thing that come from China and don't forget to buy plenty of coffee.

In addition to magnifying glasses, get a few of those full page fresnel lense magnifyers. They are GREAT for starting campfires! They're the mostest light gathering for the cheapest ($1-2) price!
