Might be harder to prove attempted murder in court.

We learned yesterday that there are new codes for windows in our area. Since we are so close to the airport, we are now required on all "new" builds to have "sound-proof" windows. I actually asked the Town Hall if we still fell under that since I was deaf and they got a good laugh out of that and said "Nice Try". Ah well, it will be better all around, but it means I have to compromise on the kitchen cabinets, counter and flooring for the kitchen and bathrooms. I can live with that.

**JClarke** · 05-20-2011, 09:33 PM

soundproof windows = double windows

Watch too much movies but The Social Network got me... Guy went to Havard then stopped going there to found Facebook.

...

Nothing's gonna come to me if I just sit there and fool around.

**Dixie** · 05-22-2011, 11:16 PM

Sound proof windows aren't really sound proof. We have those in our house and I can still hear thunder, etc. from inside the house. I think the correct term would be 'noise-reducing' windows.

**shel90** · 05-22-2011, 11:17 PM

Learned that I need to keep my opinions to myself with certain people but keep slipping. Always gets me into trouble.

The problem is not the windows. It's the materials you use for siding/walls in the south.

Har har very funny. BTW this is a redwood siding house with Tyvek insulation as well as blown insulation in the walls, with sheetrock and a layer of paint. I also believe we have the attic insulated as well.

Didja think we put fancy windows in a barn and called it a house?

BTW - what is up with that care bear?? Have you had blunt force trauma to your head since I've been gone?

But Aussie ebay does not sell real estate.

Well - these sound-proof windows are being put onto a home that is built out of concrete blocks with rebar and filled with cement. We will have insulation and then drywall put up. In MIL's house, the home is constructed the same way, but she does not have the sound-proof windows. We do not hear the airplanes except hubby says it is a very muffled sound. Thunder, we do not hear, only feel or the windows might shake. Come to think of it, we have not had a good thunderstorm since we got the new windows on her house last year. The windows we are getting are newly designed for airport traffic areas.

I learned something on facebook, sometimes "online" friends need to respect you with comments and not go overboard when they think their being funny when they are not. I didn't realize how embarrassing it can make someone look when maybe that friend or someone is on the friend list. FYI Be careful with comments

**Smithtr** · 06-10-2011, 04:39 PM

It is very pretty I am very figure out new fan ! I have broken fan! I think so!

**KristinaB** · 06-10-2011, 07:18 PM

I learned that we will have to cut back on things since hubby is stressing over the new house. He has it in his head that we are not going to be able to get it. The contractor is trying hard to tell him to calm down. Seems that the cost for running the water lines and water meter is $3000 and then all the permits and fees for the Town Hall are running $5000 or so from start to finish. Somehow, I think hubby's got the figures for the permits and such wrong. I know about the water. This neighborhood started out as well water and 5 years ago, required all people to put in city water lines. MIL's cost her $4000 then.

**Smithtr** · 06-10-2011, 07:25 PM

I am pretty house hot seems heavy hot shines It is very terrible on seems on cat is tried I think so affect to warm he is seems tried always hide on cool!

kokonut · 06-10-2011, 07:27 PM

I learned that keeping calm has its benefits.

I learn that life is always not what it seems or people that we meet not always what they seems at the first meeting them.

**KristinaB** · 06-12-2011, 09:36 PM

I learned that a neighbor is planning on taking me to church with her next week as she found a deaf service and wants to see it for herself as well. She will also be planning on introducing me to a friend there that is willing to help me learn ASL.

rockin'robin · 06-12-2011, 11:44 PM

I learned that my sad feelings for someone is only temporarily, after having to say "NO"...and not having to explain why....I also learned that I can and will be a force to reckon with when it comes down to any disruption or peace and quiet in my home...I've also learned....that good things come to those who wait and are patient, and deserving of them!....I also learned that there are people who think & assume that I was a "push-over"...but they got a rude awakening from me.
