    It's a criminal investigation, Derek needs to stay out of it.

    A wet towel could make flaming oil splash. It could probably spread the fire because the oil stays on top of water.

    I think, "best" depends on the situation. If possible, I believe covering the fire is the safest way. I have a friend who tried to move a grease fire in a pan to the sink and got burned badly. In that case, he should have just covered the pan. I'm not sure, but I think fryers have lids.

    Tragic loss, I just recently heard. Thoughts are with his family and friends. Anything is possible. I'm sure there is more to this story. We will have to wait and see.

    New to HoH life

    The problem with getting young people involved is they are not at the point were they feel the need for a new group. As you stated, most of the crowd is late deafened so, by definition, it is going to be older people. We do have younger people in my group, but not as many as I would like. In...

    New to HoH life

    Welcome. I'm sorry you are going through this. I don't know your location, but there are groups such as Hearing Loss Association of America and others you can look into. I wouldn't hold onto those numbers too hard. You never know how long your hearing will last. And, technology is getting...

    Meniere's Disease

    I have it. I've found that eating healthy has helped. For me, drinking decaf coffee/tea has also helped. Work out a schedule of exercise and healthy eating. You'll be OK.

    Late blinded, I never really thought about it. Physically, I wonder if it is easier to adapt.

    Tricky question maybe HARSH question

    Neither, I'd rather be born with perfect hearing. But, since you asked: I'd would have rather been late deafened. I would have been able to learn better and be more social in my childhood.

    Gene Therapy Trials

    I strongly suggest you investigate this more closely. I'd certainly question the removal aspect.

    Messed up situation at work. Need some thoughts.

    I wouldn't be too hasty about it. Listen to what HR has to say and then make job decisions later. Chances are, this will all blow over. I would also add, when someone asks you to put all electronics on the table, you should not take off your hearing aid.

    Virtual Reality Vibration vest

    From cnn: http://www.cnn.com/2015/01/09/tech/vibrating-virtual-reality-vest/index.html I think this would be a good application for deaf. Better ways to feel music vibration.

    Patriots are under investigation for deflating footballs

    The people here don't want to win by cheating. Nobody wants that for their team. A rematch with the colts would be good. Although, they don't have a great record against NE.

    Mass. retailers ask for ZIP code, and lawsuits follow

    Gas stations here do it electronically so you can't decline. It should be illegal.
