They are probably too tired to deal with it after a long, hard day at work....and don't want to spend money to satisfy someone else.

It has been too long since I last remember music as a hearing person, but, music sounded good to me when I had my HA for years, and after the learning curve, music sounded much, much better with my CI's. Will it be as clear as you remember? Most likely not. Will you be able to enjoy it? Most...

Ride my bicycle on the East Coast Greenway from Fla to Maine Ride my motorcycle on the Dalton Highway in Alaska, across Canada, and around the Alps Climb a redwood tree in CA Take all the Skip Barber racing courses in an old 911 Ride with Sebastian Loeb through a FIA rally in Argentina Make...

I have a set of Merino wool blend from Costco, and it works much better than any thermal underwear I've had. Not cheap....$20 for the top and $20 for the bottom. I was skeptical until I wore them, not going back to the cheap stuff anymore. They don't shrink either.

Middle school is the worst for any child that is different. Been there, done that. The deaf school is not always the answer....that school has enough of its own issues. Are you in the CSD, RCCSD, or BSD region? My daughter survived Kirk for 3 years without incident, however, she was picked on...

What are you currently driving? How old are you? Insurance companies come up with every possible excuse to increase everyone's rates....for example, if I lived one mile further north of where I am, my rates would be about 30% higher....all because the zip code up there has a higher incidence of...

Yes, I have walked around in one shoe....it screws up my sense of balance for about 5 minutes after I put the other shoe back on. We can get by with one sided hearing....not as good as two, but we can do it. Same with eyes. Sometimes I think the CI and HA industry blow things out of proportion...

Like Ambrosia & Reba said, you might want to get to the true cause of your anxiety, it is possible you have a medical reason for the drastic change in your speech abilities. Speech impairment therapy due to medical reasons (deafness) is usually covered under most insurance companies, so you...

They either did the right thing or the wrong thing. If you have a steady job & income, and are able to make the payments on time, then you are doing it right....but, if you were one of those dumb people that let dishonest bankers get you a place that you can't afford, then you are not doing it...

That's what we do too. I would rather sleep in the back of my vehicles than sleep in a stranger's house.

Correct, however: Any woman that turns you down because you won't take her out to an expensive place is not worth your time. My parents found out the hard way that having money to spend only brings brief moments of happiness, and having a lot of possessions does not bring as much happiness as...

Ezzactly! What people don't understand is...when someone racks up medical bills due to severe injuries, and can't pay the bills...guess who has to pay? You, me, the taxpayers. Don't want to wear belts or helmets? That's your prerogative, and I don't care whether you live or die, but.....I...

Oh, the humanity!!.....we better get the kool-aid ready....

Let's see....90% of the booze-induced drunk people I've encountered are otherwise decent folks that turn into asshats & bullies....the other 10% were happy drunks. Many became violent & belligerent as well. Cannot stand being around them. 99% of the people I've encountered that were high on...

So, the moral of this thread is: Don't get married, don't have children, eat good food, take care of yourself, avoid Walmart at all costs, work as hard as Jiro does, and we all live healthy & happy lives!!!! Now why the hell didn't someone tell me this years ago? Would have saved me a lot of...

Yeah, that is true. That's why I want to move to another planet and live under a rock. Venus is incompatible....can't live on Mars yet, but I am sure Uranus has plenty of room.

Guess which car has the most US-made parts content? The Honda Accord at 75%. My Ford Focus is made in Detroit, but only 35% of it is US made components. What many people don't realize is, the main reason Kia & Hyundai have factories here is to avoid paying importation fees. They can make...

When all of you single, young people without children finally get married and have children, come back in 10 years and see if you are still preaching the same thing. All of us have been there before. Figure out your 'operating expenses'....rent/mortgage, food, utilities, loans, etc, etc, and...

Any "friend" that pushes me to get involved in a monetary agreement is a big red flag. Been there, done that.....when it comes to friends, I will never lend them money or borrow money. Great way to end the friendship. Back in the '90's, I had one friend that became a douchebag salesman and...

In a room full of hearing people, the person that is making the loudest noise is going to get most of the attention. Lower the volume of your voice, and most of the stares will go away. I have one buddy that is oral, and everywhere we go, he speaks so loudly that whole rooms of hearing people...
