Opticians (who do the measurements) often get commission on the glasses they sell. When you walk in off the street and ask for your PD (or whatever) you're asking them to work for free. It's like going to a hair salon, asking the stylist what haircut would best frame your face, then walking out and asking SuperCuts to do it.

Hi Cliff! My good friend had a stillbirth and we were lucky to get a NILMDTS volunteer to come do photos at the hospital. The session went well and the photographer did a good job, but it ended up taking a long time for her to get the photos to the family. My friend (the mom) became very anxious that the photos must have been deleted or corrupted and that she'd never get them. It did all work out in the end, but my question is in how the volunteers are trained to deal with the family once the photos are taken. Do the photographers get some sort of training about dealing with parents in a fragile emotional state?

I think NILMDTS is such a wonderful organization. Thank you so much for all of your hard work to help these families retain memories of their precious children.

Good for you for thinking about breastfeeding when you had the surgery. A lot of people don't, and it causes heartache down the road when they find out that their particular surgery affected their milk production.

That analogy would make sense if you had your driver's license renewed at a car dealership.

Are you talking about $70 for an eye exam? That's very different than getting measurements to be fitted for eyeglasses...

My husband had a u3p done 11 days ago, along with a septoplasty. He's still having mouth pain now, but it's the worst when he wakes up in the morning. Do you have any questions for him? I... I guess I'm not asking you anything!
