I'm lucky, by car it's probably about 5-10 minutes, but by bus it's about 40 minutes from the time I leave the house to the time I walk into the Audiologist's building.

When I wake up, I put in one hearing aid and come back for the other in a little while. I think it's because I need to "wake up" a little more (or maybe I'm just too lazy to reach over again for the other HA, lol). But I want to be able to communicate with my family, and leaving both of them out...

I wear my HAs all the time, I love hearing things too much to part with them. However, I keep my hair covering my ears, and I think the last time I went out with my ears uncovered was in Grade 3 when I got a really short hair cut, boy-style (it was because I hadn't had my hearing aids in when...

I believe it's the same deal with the healthcare in Canada. I guess healthcare and insurance follow the same rules, and hearing issues don't fit the qualifications to apply into those rules. Though maybe I'm wrong; we don't pay a "visit fee" or examination cost when we go to the Audi, we just...

I've got depression and anxiety, am on meds for them, but they're not related to my being HoH. Depression runs heavily on both sides of my family and it's pretty much a given that anyone in our bloodlines will have some form of depression. My anxiety may very well be caused by being HoH, along...

Mine are green, though they turn blue around the pupils.

I voted brown because that's how I've always thought of it (well, "light brown"), but I've been told (repeatedly) that it's somewhat along the lines of Ash Blonde. My hair is naturally really curly and that can make my hair look lighter than when I straighten it. Meh, lets just go with...

I don't go there very often, but I do like to check things out. There's a Dollarama at the mall and they have some cute things. Usually I only buy buckets (for the fish tanks) and picture frames (don't need to be expensive looking, but the dollar store sometimes has really need frames. I bought...

Did you know that grey cats are actually black cats, but there's a mess-up in their genes that makes the black color grey. And almost all black cats are tabbies (I could be wrong here), which is why, when the light hits a black cat a certain way, you can see the tabby stripes. A banana has more...

Here's a page I just found that shows the time zones over the world. I'm totally saving this, since everything is posted as Eastern time zone and I'm in Mountain time zone. Visiting Seattle - Seattle 101, A Guide for Travelers and Tourists It's at the bottom of the page.

Normally Willow is easy to handle in the bath (Buffy too, for that matter. Molly is the hellion, because for 12 pounds, she can move pretty quick and she has no qualms about digging her claws into your shoulder and HAULING herself up, which hurts like a motherfudger). But it was around this time...

If the dogs are well-behaved (and spending that much time with their owners should definitely help, unless the owner is the coddling type), then I see no problem. I know that I personally love taking my dog wherever I go, if I walk (I don't drive, so I rely on the bus service and animals aren't...

Willow. She wasn't happy, as you can see. She was also terrified; every time we've ever given her a bath, she's peed in the water. Therefore, we limit baths to the very minimum (once every couple of years, probably)

This kind of things scares me. I'm lucky enough to have several family members (all hearing) who look out for me and make sure I'm comfortable, but I still often feel clueless. I'm a person who needs to know every single detail before venturing out to try something new (something at a bank, for...

Well, just the first part about the population of Earth and the dwindling quality of Earth, as I was responding specifically to the comment of fear of procreating stopping procreation completely. The rest is more to the general public.

Yeah, but there's gotta be a limit. The state of Earth keeps getting worse and worse, and the world-wide population keeps increasing. Just 15 years ago, we were being taught in school that there are 6 billion people in the world, and since then, another billion has been added. I don't think...

So many people are ripping into this movie and I don't feel that's deserved, so I find myself QUITE liking this thread, lol. Every problem that people have with the movie is a problem they can have with the book, so really the movie itself doesn't deserve the criticism. Plus, the story is...

This is Molly, 4 years old, a former stray (though I think she had a home not long before we found her stuck in a tree when she was about 5 months old; she's too well-mannered and sweet, plus her whiskers were shaved half off) This is Buffy, my little orphan baby (at 4 weeks). She's 6 years...

Thanks for the responses, everyone. This is a recent thing and I've had these particular hearing aids for 5 years. It might be the interac chip in the debit card, since that's pretty new (got mine in May, I think). I don't think I step on security strips because not only have I not once looked...

I always hated the FM system because it never seemed to work. When we finally got it working, the volume was way too quiet and, therefore, useless (I could hear the teacher across the room better by HAs alone). But there was one day when a number of kids, myself included, didn't complete our...
