That's a new one. Hadn't heard hearing aids described as cosmetics. What do they think we want them as accessories?! Just for the pretty colors, if we can get them? :roll: Anything to get out of covering it... I know our health insurance has never covered aids at all. They will cover the hearing...

I think this is sad, but because YouTube has gotten so big, and complaints about copyright infringement require YouTube to "police" their web site, YouTube is stuck in a legal bad spot. Yet their automatic cc program stinks, so that's not useful, either. What a mess! :o What I have done to...

WOO! HOO! Congratulations! :)

:laugh2: Same as for you, or nearly so, LOL! My hubby is 6'9" and our daughter is 6'3" so the dog & I are the "shrimps" in the family... :giggle:

Wondering whether the frustration in ASL class last Wednesday night (the teacher went completely "off the rails" as to sticking to our current text chapter and working with the vocabulary in the next chapter and with what we have been learning and practicing). Instead she did something...

Yesterday: online, daily meditation, chores. DH & I went to the library for movies & he got music CDs. Then did big grocery shopping at discount grocery. Still food is SO expensive! :eek3: Was glad for his help as my arthritis is flaring up and painful. Then home to make burgers and watch a...

Enjoying a quiet morning. Feeling peaceful and content. :aw:

5'11" :)

I am so sorry to read of your loss! :( Your plans sound like a great comfort for you, and friends and family. May your husband's journey back Home to the Creator be peaceful. Wishing you strength also to get through all the planning as well. :hug:

What the Bleep Do We Know!? by William Arntz, Betsy Chasse and Mark Vicente. The DVD is also very good and mind-bending. :yesway:

Took my daughter to get her car which has been in the shop since last week. Had lunch and a wonderful longgggg afternoon chat with her. :hug: Ran some errands; paid some bills. :P Now enjoying a glass of Merlot :cheers: awaiting my turn for a trim (hubby got to go first :cool:) from our...

Paid the bills. Did my online stuff. Now lunch and ASL study for class tonight...

Wirelessly posted I am so sorry for your loss, MintyOreo! :(

I've been a hermit for the past nearly 10 years because of feeling this way about myself. And hearing friends have dropped away because they don't understand and even when I "educate" them, they "forget." :roll: But I am now trying to make connections with people again, this time with others...

Getting the "never mind" treatment really aggravates me, too! :thumbd: My hearing has dropped quite a bit more in the past 3 years, added to my aids need replaced, and so my understanding isn't as good as it once was for the past 15+ years... I finally started sending my husband articles about...

Thinking about practicing with my ASL flash cards later today. Also about making cards not just for the chapters in the text but for the words here & there we learn in class (or I look up out of curiosity) that are in addition to the chapter's vocabulary. I found yesterday that it was good to...

I hope some of the ideas mentioned will help! Sometimes I think all the non-discrimination laws are a bunch of hooey when people get their jobs threatened, or lose them due to hearing loss, but have no money to fight. :mad: Once I had my job threatened, even though they knew I had hearing loss...

Publish date was 1983 on the Star Trek novel. I got a box of paperbacks, bought from a Trekkie years & years ago. Got stashed in the garage and just now found them again & dug them out. I've been having fun the past month. :D

Watched "Forrest Gump" again. Love it every time. :yesway: And we watched a freebie from the library, kind of light fluffy comedy stuff, but o.k. Nothing very original in the plot, though: "Uptown Girls." Shrug. :2c: At least it was free, LOL! :D Tonight we plan to watch "To Be or Not to Be"...

Just finished Star Trek novel, The Wounded Sky by Diane Duane. :thumb: Stayed up late to finish it. As is often the case, I would love to see a movie made of this plot line. Too bad Gene Roddenberry isn't with us any more, to do it justice, though. Dealt with "non-causal" sciences (think of The...
