Joanne, thanks for the reminder re: FBEye.  I keep forgetting to catch it (watch hardly any TV these days) but have seen lots of good things about it.
babs, yup, really and honestly.  Deaf as a post.  Can't hear a thing.  Do you remember the deaf Miss America?  They kept saying that she was "90%" deaf, which is idiotic and wrong because there is no bottom -- if you have a jaw, you can "hear" some things via vibrations, for example -- but what they meant is that she had a 90 db loss.  That means that she couldn't hear a tone at 10 decibels, or 30 decibels, or 50, on to 90.  I have a 120 db loss.  So I'm 120% deaf.
