Mike,
This Nitro-Bid ointment; what exactly does it do? I am curious.
I am in the process, in the next few weeks, to have my color lightened
it a bit. It's great when there is a LOT of light in an area, but once
i am inside in a more 'normal' setting, like in a house or restaurant,
they are way too dark. I was thinking about the contacts, for the
purpose of less light bleed, but now i am waiting till my color is a
little more settled.

With you hat, do you still wear your glasses? and do you still ever
wear your glasses?

Thanks!
Elisabeth
