Thats better, hearing aid was turned off
Yikes, Bernie! I would never, ever do such a thing! Go to the most formidable ski run because of a misunderstanding -- never!!
(Yes, I've done just that. Sigh. I escaped injury as well, but barely.)
The hearing/ deaf thing is probably misleading -- in the meetings I mention there were always interpreters and/or the meeting itself was conducted in ASL, and access to information was equal. The deaf staff and the hearing staff were getting exactly the same info with about the same amount of effort (or lack thereof).
I definitely go with the flow when I'm lipreading -- choppy bad, natural flow good. I SO can't keep interrupting people if I miss something. I have some sort of weird system where I gather all of the information, it hangs there amorphously, I get one critical clue and then pow it all solidifies. This can go on for 10, 15 minutes -- at minute 14 I dunno what the heck is going on, the critical clue arrives, and boom I understand everything back to minute 1.
I TOLD you about bat guano! I'm psychic!
Oh that reminds me, I have a Magic 8 Ball baby. No, she's not bald anymore, but lately we've been asking her things -- today it was "will we find anything from the registry for cousin K's wedding at the outlet store? [which we'd gone to 4 times before and they hadn't had anything yet]" -- and she is right, like, 90% of the time. So, if you want to know, like, who's going to win the NBA Championship this year, I'll hook ya up.
LOL!
You BROUGHT the bat guano in with you, Soze!
Good stuff, use to smoke it back in the fifties - wow!
Did it make you able to fly?
Flying in the dark, my kind of evening.
Blatham - that is a wonderful story. I'm fairly hard of hearing and I have done similar such things, though none so dramatic. It's good you can laugh at yourself. I'll be laughing about that for days (years?).
yep -as long as my flagging brain allows me to remember it.....
Rabbit's clever," said Pooh thoughtfully.
"Yes," said Piglet, "Rabbit's clever."
"And she has Brain."
"Yes," said Piglet, "Rabbit has Brain."
There was a long silence.
"I suppose," said Pooh, "that that's why she never understands anything."
:wink:
Spelling -come on now, wheres that bottom lip !

Yeppies -I can curse for hours and not use a four letter word.... it's a talent.
fruit of an unsanctified bed... that's a winner, deb.
LOL - you can see the sleazy, rumpled sheets, can't you?
