You should meet the Amish who live in our country. Everyone gets angry when a cow is in the road and some guy is riding on it. :P

Welcome to the community, Daza! Kind of sounds like me, HOH as well, into gaming, web design, etc. I've also started getting tinnitus a couple of years ago and then vertigo a year ago, although the vertigo has thankfully moved on. I'm waiting for the tinnitus to pack up and leave the...

Try using the HA at a volume that is most comfortable to you when around the house, to allow you to get used to them more. You don't have to leave it at a high volume until someone talks to you. That way you might not get a headache so quickly. Don't be afraid to adjust the volume as you get...

Welcome to the community! This is a good place for you as you try to adjust to your aid. I'm HOH and wear two aids and have done so since I was 4 years old, so I didn't come at it later in life like you did. However, I can say that it will take a while to get used to the sound. Not many...

I learned that stopping to smell the roses is a very bad idea. A bee flew up my nose and stung me. Lesson learned!

Thanks for sharing that, and I'll definitely keep it in mind. If physical therapy doesn't work out, or I can't deal with the pain, I'll ask the doc about Butrans. I'm glad there's a possible fall-back option, because it seemed that tramadol was the only option based on what I was told. They...

It's inevitable that he'd be a draw for mentally unstable people, just like there are copycat murderers out there. There needs to be a better system for recognizing these kind of people and providing them some kind of help, whether it be extensive therapy or medication and have them in an area...

REAL football doesn't start until the college football season. :P

Well, if you're desperate for attention from the world, I suppose that's one way of going about it.

Seems I'm still on a sci-fi kick. Thought I'd be moving on to historical fiction by now. I have a rotation of genres that I go through as I get bored with one and move on. It usually goes like this: Fantasy > Sci-Fi > Historical Fiction > Fantasy. Sometimes I'll stray to a mystery novel...

You can always use the mobile version of the site if you're skeptical about Facebook's benevolence. The mobile site doesn't have access to the phone's ecosystem, so therefore it cannot spy on you or read any data off the phone. Facebook is right, though. The way Android's security and...

I tried acupuncture but afterwards when I went to take a leak, I sprung 100 leaks all over. :eek3: Seriously, though, I was a bit uncomfortable with it. I was 18 or 19 at the time when I was pushed into trying it. I was really self-conscious about my body and my skin condition. Now that...

Actually, it was addictive. Pain killers tend to be addictive for anyone. The trick is to not abuse them, which I only did 3 times in the course of 8 years. All three times it made me super sleepy, so I saw no point in abusing them. But if I forgot a dose or the pharmacy didn't refill in...

Yikes, that does sound painful on the shoulder. Dogs can be unpredictable at times. I nearly had a fall when I was walking two lapdogs and a loose came up wanting to fight. I had to pick up both dogs and put them under both arms and this dog was jumping up on my leg trying to get at the other...

They're freshwater fish but they are bottom scavengers and carnivorous. It's much why many people don't like to eat sharks. However, catfish are picky eaters. The average human has 10,000 taste buds. The catfish has over 100,000. I used to eat fried catfish when growing up. Jacksonville...

I've been taking 800mg ibuprofen to help with the tramadol, and will continue taking it after I've quit the pain killer. It does help a little bit. I'll look into Naproxen if physical therapy doesn't work out. I'd like to eliminate any and all medications that I can get away with...

Technically it's not official, but will be in 6 days. That didn't stop the doc/pharmacy from making me come in to get a refill, though. But yeah, I'm looking forward to moving forward with physical therapy. Even if it doesn't address the back pain, I bet I'll still feel better being in better...

They've been doing that for ages, even after the Cold War. The U.S. does the same to Russia. It's just two meathead jocks swaggering, eyeing each other up.

Seems fishy. Why would the woman yell, "what do you mean you don't have any pies left, who bought them all?" How did she know someone bought all the pies and that they just simply didn't have any pies to give? That seemed rather clairvoyant and intelligent deducation from her, which is a...

I'm so vindicated. Had to go to the docs today because apparently they won't refill Tramadol anymore unless I go in once a month to get a refill. See, they finally figured out that it is a narcotic, which I've been telling the docs who kept prescribing it to me that it was, or at least acted...
