Hope you're able to get it fixed. I am with you on the music part. I haven't played in years but I did used to be a musician.

Ugh, sorry about that. Been there, done that. Sudden hearing loss in one ear is an emergency-so you should go to the ER. (I just googled it to make sure). If you can't or don't want to go to the ER: Do you have an urgent care center near you? If it's ear wax, most of them will be able to clean it out on the spot. Around here we have quite a few of them, including in pharmacies. I hope this gets better soon.

I lost access to a FB account for a while because of a similar reason-only mine was because people have decided that my nickname can't possibly come from my first name. I literally have my real first name on my account in parentheses, but FB still doesn't recognize it. About after a year I decided to try one last time and got in. So FB doesn't really care about I.D. like it claims to.

Some of the New England states offer in state tuition to people from other NE states for majors that aren't offered in a student's home state-so it's worth looking into.

After all the work that's been done on her, maybe they consider her as being 'made in America?'

Good point.

..and a way to isolate cult members from those outside of the cult.

I don't know that I see TDS as a slur, but it's close to it. It reminds me of times when a woman is angry about something and is automatically dismissed with variations of 'it's probably her time of the month.'

I agree. Yet they also want more babies to be born-although I suspect there are those they'd sterilize without a second thought if they could. And people wonder why I choose to work with animals. 😉

I wonder how many of these people watch A Christmas Carol every year then turn around and vote to take aid away from the people who need help most? And then say that they should die to reduce the surplus population?

This. I'm old enough to remember when women were taught to not act too intelligent in front of men.

Also the face looks like it has either been massively altered or belongs to a wax figure.

Thanks for the tip.

I have to ask, since this show is on 3 million times a week. Who exactly is Bobby Flay and why do so many people want to beat him?

And then he turned down the heat in the White House and wore sweaters himself.

Let's not forget the Liberty Bell March. 🙂

The first image that came to my mind was the Rabbit of Seville.

I made an appointment to receive a phone call today at 12 pm EST. I also asked for a reminder text, which was to be sent 2 hours before the call. Both 10 am and 12 pm came and went, with no text and no phone call. I received the reminder text finally at 12:35. So now, who knows when or if the phone call will come. UGH.

Just got my first bandage change. My left foot looks even better than my right foot did 2 weeks in.

She probably uses the word in private conversations and forgot to switch to 'prosecute' for the interview.

Along the same lines.... it's frustrating when people are in a big hurry to get in front of you, but then slow way down. This is especially annoying when there's no-one else in sight.

Yikes! That sounds scary. I'm glad everything worked out all right. In my case I think I was still affected by anesthesia enough to not be spooked too much.

I probably should have thought twice before going on leave while the holiday and medicare advantage commercials are in full swing. Oh well. My surgery went well, and except for discovering that it was easier to learn to get around using a good left leg than a good right leg, recovery should go okay too. There was just that scary part when I fell off the scooter because the nerve block hadn't wrong off yet. Oops.

When I got my Real ID last year, I had to have not only my birth certificate and SS card, but I had to have 4 separate documents indicating that I am a resident of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. I'd only read about 3 being required before going to my appointment, so it was a matter of sheer luck that I happened to have another document with me that had the required information. I can easily see how that could prevent a fair number of people from being able to get one. There has got to be an easier way.

These may be inner city things... When utility companies suddenly start drilling in the street below your apartment before 7 am, or around/after 8 pm without any prior notice. I get that work needs to be done. It's just there are few things that give me a headache faster than a jackhammer. Bonus points if whoever's drilling accidentally hits something that knocks out power. Thankfully this doesn't really happen near me, since my street doesn't have parking available, but there were people in one of my neighborhoods who would casually load up their cars without bothering to turn off the alarm-waking up everybody in the neighborhood because of course they'd do this around 5 am.
