    Girly stuff, like shoes, makeup, hair, etc.

    OceanBlue7, I'm not really classed as 'fashionable', I just wear what I like- think Willow from Buffy! I don't really pay attention to what's in fashion, as I dislike most of it. At the moment girls wear skinny jeans with Ugg boots and a fluorescent top, things like that- just not my style at...

    Your Plans for Halloween?

    Hope it goes well SCBassist- love the doggy! I sadly have no plans, my best friend moved away and I don't drive so I can't go and see her. I'm pretty much gonna watch tv and whatever if any scary films are on, and steal the sweets my mum's put out for the little kids.

    What's your dinner tonight?

    I'm having curry, prepackaged, as I don't feel like cooking. LakeTahoe, good luck with your labour!

    Girly stuff, like shoes, makeup, hair, etc.

    Ooh, I love socks! I'm wearing purple striped knee-highs at the moment with a pink corduroy skirt I got today for £4 from a charity shop (thrift store). I found some great ankle socks with a cupcake pattern on :-) I also have Miffy the bunny socks and fluorescent knee-high socks with hearts on...

    Hearing aid breakdown

    Thanks, djchur. Yeah, I live in Cheshire so it's pretty cold and rainy most of the time. Sallylou, I have digital BTEs with slimtubes at the moment. I'm having problems with the left one so my audiologist said come back in a month and get new aids, but I still can't hear properly from the left...

    What's your dinner tonight?

    I'm thinking that Jillio is an older, wiser version of me. I'm also wondering if I have any money in my bank account as my parents are going shopping today.

    Jillio, we use sizes 5, 6, 7 etc- 37 would be the continental european size. I used to wear a size 6 (I'm looking at a conversion chart and that's 8.5 American) but stayed away from actual shoes- high heels, or high sandals as my foot is usually floating above the shoe! I always wore padded...

    Hearing aid breakdown

    I have never heard of dri-store or any of these things before I read about it on here, nobody's ever told me about it. My audiologist told me to wash the tubes in soapy water and clean them every day, though I got a little booklet with my aids that says don't get them near water. Is it because I...

    Girly stuff, like shoes, makeup, hair, etc.

    This thread has just reminded me I have some shoes I bought online which are too big and was going to return them then forgot all about it and they're still in my room...oops! I have narrow feet with high arches and claw toes so I have trouble getting flat shoes to stay on my feet, and high...

    Adjustment to late onset deafness

    I'd say it makes you HOH, but that's just my opinion- go with whatever you're comfortable with. Glad you're able to see the ENT to look further into things.

    Another lurker

    Hi! I'm shy too, but I like writing, so online I just write a lot, but if this were in person I'd be sitting in the corner looking scared! *waves*

    What are you thinking about?

    Have fun Lissa! Souggy, where are you going? You've probably said it already somewhere but I have an awful memory. I'm thinking about how I've just been grumpy all day and slept most of the day, and I hope the weekend is better. I'm looking forward to starting my ECDL course on Monday.

    Hi, I was not in alldeaf for long time.

    Hi, I'm new so I don't remember you but it's good that you've come back! I'm glad Travis is supportive, and that you and your son are seeing a therapist. I'm glad that you're both healing from the past.

    Anyone else have parents that were pessimistic about CI?

    Hi Pinky, I was asking Phi4Sius if he lives at home but it's nice to talk to you! I don't have a job at the moment, but I'm on a course to get more confidence so I can eventually work. I read somewhere on AD that you make jewellery? I love making jewellery :-) I'd like to sell it but I haven't...

    Chinese Food

    Sake made my head spin very quickly! I have read about balut, photos made me :barf: I live in a small town, and haven't tried a great variety of foreign foods- restaurants near me to tend to be Indian or Italian, and highly Anglicized, but yummy! When I go to the Chinese takeway I like...

    Anyone else have parents that were pessimistic about CI?

    I agree with Pinky, you're an adult and it's your decision. Do you mind me asking, how old are you and do you still live at home? I ask because I'm 24 and due to being poor I still live with my parents. Because they see me every day and know me quite well they have an idea of what sort of things...
