Wearing hearing aids is not fun. There are reasons some kids at schools for the deaf kick them around like hacky sacks. Maybe closed captioning would help. There are subscription services that are better than the freebie captioning you can get without a plan for some shows. I don't know about all sets but mine is older and has the get freebie captioning for some shows option. It can be set by remote control to turn that feature on/off so you don't always have to have it on. New the set I have cost me around $300.00 but now sells at Walmart for half that price and there are even less expensive ones. I think all newer TV sets have it now. Craigslist is sometimes an option. My son gets all his television sets for a good price off there every time he upgrades and so far has had really good luck with that. Also I'm not sure who does it, or if they even do it anymore but it used to be if you needed assistive devices you could sometimes get them on loan or with grants. I don't have that info but below are some links to sites where someone might know more about this. Maybe turning it up is helping him now but later if his ability to hear changes he might need some further help to get full enjoyment out of watching his favorite shows. Sometimes people will be persuaded by asking what about the neighbors, kids, grand kids, pets in the home. Anyhow perhaps you already know all of this or more than I do but still for future readers who might not know anything at all, it's good information to have out there, and at least a place to start.

Getting ready to head out the door and go look at some apartments.

Taking a break from a painting I'm making for my sister's nursery when the baby comes. Hanging out with my Jedi and listening to music

[easygoingfemme]

Tidying my house and semi packing to go away this weekend.

[easygoingfemme]

Now putting some finishing touches on plans for my parent's wedding anniversary tomorrow. 50 years.

My brother and I were in the middle of planning a real party when he died. My parents don't want that party now. Understandable. Every celebration right now has a gaping hole. So I'm planning a home dinner party for them. I keep reaching for the phone to call my brother to ask his thoughts. Anyway, I have a nice dinner planned at home. Their grandkids and daughter in law will be there. I got them wind chimes that play a wedding waltz when the wind hits right.

[Tuff Stuff]

It's obvious ain't it...and i'm listening to some really scary ghost stories on YouTube.

Nightmare city tonight!

[Amulette]

Indulging in avoidance. I have a big project to finish up. Something unexpected put the project on hold for a week and now the thrill is gone. Sigh. I'm going to have to go deep to find my mojo.

[FireSignFemme]

Celebrating! All of a sudden the sound on my computer just went out. This has happened to me before and I fixed it but couldn't remember how. I'd bookmarked the tutorial but must have accidentally deleted it. Anyhow I didn't find that site again but after forever finally found the solution. And now because of all the things I tried that didn't work my computer is running faster and better than ever, the sound is even better too? I don't know what could explain that but hey I'm not complaining.

Procrastinating reading this thread when I really ought to be doing other things. :-} FiresignFemme, most PCs over time acquire large amounts of cruft, which (a) takes up space and (b) can fragment what space your PC has left, and (c) some of it (depending on what it is) can even eat up processing power on your PC directly. (a) and (b) can do the same indirectly because your computer needs to form a "scratch pad" area where it can retain temporary copies of things its working on before it's done working on them. If your PC is running out of memory or the memory is fragmented, this will slow it down. So clearing out cruft nearly always helps to some degree!

Sipping on a cup of decaf, and listening to my caT Petunia purring by my side (she's watching TV, I'm just listening to it, channel surfing at times). I am waiting for the nail salon to open up for business, so I'll call them later, to see if I can get an appt today. Other than that, it's a weekend of rest, rest, rest.

[Glenn]

Feeding about a dozen Blue Jay's their peanuts, watching all the other birds and squirrels eating their seed, and waiting for a phone to be delivered to my hermit shack today. I existed withouta phone for a whole month, lol.

[TL1]

Spending time outside. This is my favorite time of day.

[ksrainbow]

A forever fan of this series of auctions and the quality of vehicles from tractors/motorcycles/cars/trucks and everything between a wheel base-

Richard Petty's items are currently up-and I am in total

Drinking strong black coffee.
Listening to Bob Marley
Encouraging myself to get in the shower and eat something before getting on my bike.

Happy Sunday

[Bèsame*]

Sitting outside on the balcony, with butterscotch toffee coffee, I have been painting my nails.

I'm off to work today, to take care of month end stuff. And yet, thinking of my upcoming vacation!

[Orema]

– Watching the news
– Waiting for coffee to finish brewing
– Thinking about the work week ahead

[Chad]

I am trying to will myself to get out of bed. It is overcast outside and my kitties are being cuddly so it is hard.

[Kätzchen]

I am at home today in my lovely studio dwelling, sipping on a cup of decaf, smothered in coconut milk and stevia... and listening to the a/c as I read posts by members of the community and thinking about what I should do to get ready for my work week (choose something from my wardrobe to wear for my busy day tomorrow, make lunches for the week, etc).

Since it is going to be super hot today, I might try to highlight my hair and go sit outside in the sun, so it develops the color perfectly. Or not. lol. I really need to nap and rest and nap and rest because last week was a rough week at work and I expect more turbulence this week.


Still, the prevailing wind of contentment resides in my life (for which I am deeply grateful).

[RebelDyke]

Writing feverishly on many assignments and papers that are due by 11:59 tonight!
