That's true, it does suck, but I've learned from similar experiences in the past that in situations like this it's nigh on impossible to recover your losses.

Huh? Dude, you need better friends. Go to some meets - you'll find them there.
I don't know if I qualify as "older" (I'm 37), but my friends have been hugely reliable over the years. Same with the family, for that matter. Maybe I've been lucky, but you can absolutely find a circle of guys who won't let you down. Girlfriends, and especially the ex-fianceé, are a different matter.
If I can find a reliable one (and accepting of audiophile fetishes, of course) I'd take her off to Vegas tomorrow.
The thread has derailed, hasn't it?
Anyhow, I finally got around to ordering another pair of shades yesterday. The previous pair was lost, possibly stolen. I'm not sure about that since they were prescription. But I needed them, so I visited goggles4u and got another pair of prescriptions for about $35.
For those of you who haven't ordered glasses online, I highly recommend it. I've picked up four or five pairs over the years and have been impressed with the quality and very low prices. You have to do your homework on sizes (best to measure your current glasses and cut out cardboard ones to check) and measure your PD, but if you get that right, you can get new pairs for $30-$50.
Next up, I'll order a pair of prescription safety goggles! I found a place that makes them for $40. They look ideal for mucking with the soldering iron, assorted power tools and popping off a few rounds at the range.
