Except these are "clip-ons" and I always wear button suspenders.

I've never owned a pair, but they look comphy.

I got into them because I couldn't understand skinning a cow just so
I could hold my trousers up. And it was during a period when my weight
was fluctuating - and I was tired of punching new holes in my belts.

Galluses (suspenders) are very comfortable - except those made of what
is called "Tuff Stuff". Those are stiff, unyielding and have less give
than a conservative politician.

dexterity has slid downhill I use what are known as "bachelor
buttons" or "logger buttons" which are like the button on your Levis/Wrangler jeans. Much easier if not as elegant. Bv)=

That I understand, my eye sight seems to be fading fast, I've got 2
pair of glasses, but the ones for reading are only good for UP CLOSE
even sittign at a laptop (like now) I can't wear them as it's too far away.

I have general purpose classes for most use. And "mid-vision" glasses
for use with the confusers. And after an illness my near vision, which
had been fine for reading books, newpapers, etc. disappeared. So, now I
have a pair of spectacles strictly for reading. I've tried bi-focals -
not a successful experiment. I much prefer changing from one set to the
other.

Gubment only let's us go once every 2 years here so unless i want to
pay I'm stuck waiting. My benefit plan is... poor at best.

I used to have vision insurance - until I did the math. The insurance
let me have one eye exam and one set of glasses per year. The premiums
added up to about what it would cast me out-of-pocket. <SHRUG>

Carrots are said to aid your eyesight. Or, at least, that's what my old grandmother told me. Fortunately I like carrots.

I'm using those "Belt Bro's", Andrea saw them advertised and ordered me
a set. I quite like them, they go in the belt loops on each side and that's it.

They do look comfortable.

IOW a rubber band for your waist. That's what they look like.

Carrots are very versatile. They work as a vegetables or in a dessert.
No wonder rabbits and horses like them.

They work great. Just on each side and shirt covers. I wear a normal
belt when tucking in a shirt.

So true. :) Boiled with a bit of butter salt and pepper is still one of
my favorite ways to eat them.
