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.
