I had Dr. Scholl's sandals, not the clogs though. I remember getting a chemistry set with all different vials of "stuff", including mercury!! Fun to play with, but now we know it's toxic. Anyone remember EarthShoes? The ones with the reverse sole, where the toes were higher than the...

Wow, that seems pretty unlikely. Are you sure you'll even be activated by then? I've heard from other late-deafened that sounds are dramatically different with a CI than with "normal" hearing. They say it takes time, sometimes many months to understand and accomodate to the new hearing. In...

Jenny, I feel your pain. When I used Naidas I swear they were possessed. Fortunately, they acted up every time I brought them to the audie. Now I'm so deaf I rarely use them and don't really care. Would never get Naidas again, personally. *sigh*

Peppermints. Flowers or candy?

Keds. See your own country or travel abroad?

#11. Dogs have owners, cats have staff.

:birthday: Karissa!

Calm. Tissue or handkerchief?
