Written for RDP, where sgeoil asks us
to get creative with the word ‘squint’.
Thanks, Heather! Here’s my take.
Is it just me or has the print on prescription labels gotten a lot smaller? Even with my new glasses I have to squint to get the words in focus. It’s either some sort of conspiracy or I am aging at warp speed.

What’s everyone talking about? Getting old does not suck! Getting old is wonderful!
On the other hand, looking old does suck.
And feeling old really sucks.

My 80 year old aunt has a magnifying glass sitting on a table near her. To read the small print.

Yes, Heather. I’ve turned into a collector as well. I think that’s a fairly common problem. 🤓

No joke, Penny. We keep a magnifying glass in the kitchen, living room and bedroom! It’s ridiculous. 😂 🔎

No, it’s not you. They are using smaller print on a lot of things and I have to use a magnifying glass on some even though I wear glasses!.

Yes! Same with me. 🔎 What is the purpose of making the print smaller? It’s illogical …. unless they’re in cahoots with eye treatment specialists and the production of eye glasses!

I got myself a special pair of glasses meant for computer use only. They seem to be helping but everything else non-computer related is more difficult to read! I’m not so sure computer glasses is such a great idea. 🤓

Not only that- but the print rubs off in no time. Heaven, forbid you have to look up anything on the label a couple of weeks after you get them….
