    Hearing Impairment Within the Kitchen Environment

    Hubby still says not to worry. He's getting irritated with me and says.. Not all is lost. We will try digitals again later and recheck cochlear later as a last means if I can see to be a candidate. I am just to "obsessed" with the volume control right now. I told him tonight I really need a...

    Thank you for some insights.. I am going to take a look and see what would be best. Hubby thinks I may need to wait just a little longer until we can actually afford the vet bills and food that will come with ownership. It's pretty tight right now considering tax season, we got pay what we owe...

    I would like a service dog for my home.

    As long as you cover up properly and use sunscreen it can help limit your chances. I know that anyone can get it, but for now, I need natural sunlight to help promote the vitamin D I need along with the prescribed vitamin dose by my PCM.

    hard of hearing and social skills

    This is totally me- I am not ashamed and it is really tiring to keep up with a group of people. I am also finding myself as I have grown older that I prefer small group settings and less noisy environments. When I do go to big events I take breaks while there and remove myself for a little peace...

    What are you doing right now? Part II

    I am currently getting ready to fix dinner for my family and I have my fireplace turned on and ready for the big snow that we are going to get in the morning. The snow was not going to be a lot but it's going to cause a delay in the kids getting to school in the morning.

    I literally was watching all of this yesterday and was just shaking my head. Hubby on the other hand had a few choice of words. I had signal of intent to park and it was like a speedy Gonzales race to take it over by another car. The car backing out actually got hit by another car who went right...

    Drives me nutty!

    It just kills me that in our town where there is a designated road to use for driving to your point of destination and the locals continue to drive through the shopping/ parking area as if it were a thorough fair. What makes it annoying even more is not the speeding through the parking area ...
