I broke my glasses frame and had to order new glasses. $800. I made a mistake when ordering new glasses. It completely slipped my mind that I had signed up for vision insurance last year. Now I have to see if the optician will rebill my new glasses to include the insurance.

The frames were only $270. The rest is that my lenses are extreme, photogray, bifocal, and polarized.

Another option is to contact the insurance company directly. Submit your receipt. They'll probably reimburse whatever their coverage says they will.
Typical if you have complex lenses.

My thinking is this: what is the goal of backing into the driveway? Are you going to get to your destination quicker, is that micro second going to really make a difference of course not so why do it. For clarification when I say you I don't necessarily mean you, I mean the proverbial you. The only really good reason to back into a driveway is if the street is busy and there is a blind spot so for safety reasons driving straight out is the superior way in that case. Also, I am just making a Larry David like observation

In NZ, there’s plenty of reports of deaths (disproportionately children) resulting from people backing out of driveways without looking. I back into my garage because I’d rather not be stuck in the middle of the road while changing from reverse, when I could just… drive out, and it takes no extra effort for me to back in.
Speaking of vehicle accidents, a car ran a red light today and I ran into that car on my bike while I had the green light. Wasn’t hurt very much, luckily.

I finally contacted Canon about my scanner problems and the only way to fix the scanner is to send it off to be repaired. The problem is that the cost of the repair is more than the cost to buy a new scanner. I've had this scanner for just over a year. I don't know what to do. If I buy a new scanner then that scanner might break within a year again.

Warranty? The scanner should be well within the warranty period, so the seller should cover all repair costs.

It's no longer under warranty.

That wouldn't work. The warranty has expired and the problem with the scanner is my fault.

Start by asking the actual experts first before dismissing your own chances.

I thought we had weathered Hurricane Helene with no issue, but after the rain stopped a tree just over our property line fell down.
It took out the power lines for the whole street.
No houses or cars were damaged. It barely missed one house and would have crushed any vehicles in that driveway, but the guy who lives there was away picking up lunch from Chick-fil-A at the time.
The residents of the 9 houses further down the street than us are all trapped by the trunk of the fallen tree. The neighbor directly across from us now has a fence of powerlines blocking his driveway, but I noticed this morning he had somehow gotten his Tesla out to park on the street. We are in one of 4 houses with a clear path out. (Some sagging powerlines prevent me from taking my work truck out, but my car isn't tall enough to hit any of them.)
The neighbor directly across the street guessed it would take 4 days to clear the tree and restore power.
A link from an email the power company sent me took me to a map which let me check the status of various outages. It estimates that the service would be restored to out street around 11:45 pm tonight.
Right now I'm at the local public library, using the Wi-Fi on my laptop as it and my phone charge while mom checks Facebook on one of their machines.

Power was restored at 6:35 pm Saturday. It was out for about 30 hours.
My neighbor claimed ATT was supposed to send a crew to fix the internet yesterday afternoon, but no one has come yet. We are back at the library again.
Last time we were here I convinced mom to pick up a large print book to read, even though she had insisted that she couldn't see well enough to read since the strokes 7 years ago and hadn't been willing to try when I offering to get large print books for her before, even after I got her an illuminated magnifier last year. She started Dolly Parton and James Patterson's "Run, Rose, Run" at 2pm Saturday (using the magnifier after struggling with the first 2 chapters without it) and finished at 8pm Sunday. It took almost exactly as long for her to finish the book as for the power company to clear the tree and restore the electric service.
