I just went to the Costco site and found that there are a couple of
stores down in HotLanta-closest is 74 miles.  They've obviously opened
since I moved away.  Thanks for the offer, but I could make the trip
there to pick them up if they offer what I need.  I know there is a
LensCrafters, Pearl, and other chains down there as well.  I just hate
making two trips down there, you know?  It's not like I can be like 99%
of the rest of the world and get glasses in an hour.  Mine take a week
or so.  Frustrating.
I have two glasses options in town, the optical shop where I got these
glasses, and Walmart.  I think ordering online will save a lot of money,
if the quality is good and the risk is low.  I think Eyeglass Direct
might be my company...
Thanks everyone for indulging me in this search, and for the offers of help.

"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will
not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius
will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the
world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone
are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve
the problems of the human race"
