Still, some sounds like the shrill scream of my little niece, my brothers sneeze as well as my own...do you have issues with a sneeze? I have to cover my ear. You're so blessed to have your loving Sherry there to help you out and others. Broken windshields seem endless on dirt roads while passing bigger trucks than ours. Glad you'll be getting yours fixed. It's illegal up north to drive with a broken shield...soooo, glad you're gettin' er' done! Never be afraid to tell the operator at the other end of the line to speak up, speak slower, or repeat themselves so you can understand. It's their job.<br />love n' hugs from up north where Bill is helping the neighbors harvest their hogs, and I'm off to church to help at the Christmas Tea/Bazaar...Darhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16642092433299872708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-65717028367871791112018-11-03T10:18:15.899-04:002018-11-03T10:18:15.899-04:00LOVE this perspective, Jack!
Folks' hearing...LOVE this perspective, Jack! <br />Folks' hearing challenges aside, I suspect some of the 'blame' needs put at the feet of those on the other end of the line. So many times I've wanted to ask (nicely) if the caller might SLOW DOWN; even speak more clearly.

Window shields can be fixed, but like you said there is a lot in life that cannot be fixed at all. Count your blessings instead of your woes...There are some that definitely have it a whole lot worse.I'm mostly known as 'MA'https://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-41620305871310619742018-11-03T07:26:46.775-04:002018-11-03T07:26:46.775-04:00I can imagine the frustration of being deaf.

I have to cock my head different ways sometimes to comprehend what someone is saying and thats frustrating enough for me. <br />I hate having to call for information. Customer service is not the best now days. I can never understand someone on the other end trying to explain something to me. They either talk to quiet, too fast or have an accent. I get so aggrivated.<br /><br />Your just going through a few bumps in the road with that RV. It will be like new before you know it. <br /><br />Keep listening to Sherry!<br />Lisa<br />Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03109633602729593188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-48630278159164998612018-11-02T23:52:39.728-04:002018-11-02T23:52:39.728-04:00Windshield problems can be frustrating, but at lea...Windshield problems can be frustrating, but at least here it is relatively easy to get them fixed with the companies coming to your house to do so. Hubby had to have his car's windshield replaced and lo and behold a few months later another crack. This time around we paid for it ourselves, not going through the insurance. We figured the insurance arranged for a cheaper grade of glass, thus the propensity to crack sooner. Now son with his new vehicle saw a crack the other day so he'll be dealing with insurance. At least we have it.<br /><br />It is frustrating trying to deal with talking on the phone or doing other business if we don't have all of our senses about us, so to speak. Good that Sherry is there to help you as she can!<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-56527775022799368612018-11-02T22:29:58.068-04:002018-11-02T22:29:58.068-04:00Hi Jack- One more thing our lives have in common. ...Hi Jack- One more thing our lives have in common. Hubby is totally deaf in one ear (acoustic neuroma-requiring brain surgery 30 years ago) and he is hard of hearing in the other year...and has selective hearing when I want anything done. lol I know how frustrating it is for you. However, you are right- better to be deaf than to have some sort of debilitating disease.<br /><br />I hope you can get the windshield and fridge problems resolved. xo DianaNanaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298962791700019785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-51045280383043708552018-11-02T21:57:43.968-04:002018-11-02T21:57:43.968-04:00I know this has to be hard.

My hubs is half deaf I guess you'd say - he doesn't like my voice and can't hear well - tries to put his hand behind his ears and 'cup' it in.<br /><br />I am sure glad you have Sherry.<br /><br />And I didn't know your window was out!Chatty Cronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02232040517217024681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-60421549818947908282018-11-02T21:20:44.094-04:002018-11-02T21:20:44.094-04:00If I can remember it, my Dad sang this song...…………...If I can remember it, my Dad sang this song...…………<br />Oh we ain't got a barrell of money,<br />maybe we're ragged and funny,<br />but we'll travel along...…<br />singing a song, side by side .<br />.<br />My Dad raised us to make do with what we had, hand me down shoes, pants shirts were common !!!!!!
