    ..ugh that's frigid for here.

    Not exactly what I'd call toasty, either!  I hope this isn't a forbear of things to come this winter.  Brrrr!  surprise 

    Dana

     

    Getting tropical here, except for rain. A couple of thousand miles north there is a foot or so of rain falling, I guess some of that might make it to here :)

    ahhgg had an amazon bummer today too.

    ordered a small soundbar to use at my dayjob desk.  coulda sworn a reviewer said there was a volume control on it.  there isn't.

    the volume on windows media player controls it.
    i answer phones, i need to instantly turn down the volume. dang it.
    pump down the volume pump down the volume

    Ooh that's a pain.

     

    fits perfectly on under-desk keyb drawer.

    mebbe is possible to assign a hot-key to window's media player pause

    Many keyboards already have vol+ vol- and mute buttons on them.

     

    something which continues to cause confusion when no sound iz coming out :)

    Back in the '50s I remember seeing a ball point pen at the bus garage where my father worked that had a picture of a pin-up girl in liquid on the barrel of the pen and if you turned it upside down, her swimsuit came off.  We've had all the important technology for decades!

    Complaint:  I've been having trouble hearing for a few years so I finally took advantage of a post mailed promotional ad for a free hearing test.  Sat in the little sound proof booth with headphones and bone conduction "phones" and pressed the button everytime I heard the tone.  Good news is that I heard some of the tones.  Bad news is the I didn't hear enough of them.  Graph of my hearing is "normal" for low frequencies but looks like an Alpine ski slope above 1200 Hz.  sad  Worse news is, no insurance that I can afford will cover any significant part of the cost of a hearing aid.  Worst news is I can't afford the 3 to $6000 for a hearing aid.  Of course the promotional ad was to get me into the shop and try to sell me on a hearing aid.  The doctor and sales people were all smiles and friendly until they popped the question about buying a hearing-aid and I said "no", twice, then my appointment was suddenly over and and I was actually escorted to the door. indecision

    Why the #$%^#%$# do they cost so much?  They're just tiny programmable graphic equalizers.  Japan should be able to crank them out for under $100. frown  and the custom fitting should be do-able for another 1 or $200.  And why do insurances pay for penile implants for seniors but not hearing aids? 

    Good news is that I can still hear much music up to two and a half octaves above middle-C. (which explains why I don't hear the triangle anymore.)

    Tolerable news is that I have difficulty understanding fast talking squeeky sales girls in stores and I get to play the half-deaf old fart and bark out "slow-down girl, old people listen slowly!". 

    Good news is that since I live alone as a happy hermit and hate talking on the phone for more than 30 seconds, I rarely ever actually talk to people, and when I do I'm not sure that my inability to understand them is the fault of my hearing or their inability to talk intelligably.

    What I take away from this is that I should continue going to the symphony as much as I can while I can. enlightened

    As someone with some hearing loss, and experience with friends with hearing aids, my take is that the high-priced hearing aids don't do a better job than the the cheap volume increasing ones. So conclusion...ripoff. When my hearing gets a bit worse, I'm going with the cheap ones you can buy on Amazon.

    ETA: Be sure to visit your GP and make sure your problem isn't ear wax buildup. One of my friends with some hearing aids did and now he put his hearing aids away.

    ...ugh seem to have contracted a virus.  Sore throat runny nose sneezeing...basically the works. Nice day out today sunny and mid 60s (tomorrow, chilly and drizzly again) and I should go out for a walk but feel like I was run over by one of AntFarm's odd vehicular contraptions.

    No wax.  I'm clean as a whistle.

    Yeah, once enough of one's cochlear nerves for high frequencies are dead, there's a point when no fancy equalizer is going to help.  The salesman as much as admitted that to me (his mistake).  All one can do is adapt to getting as much information from the lower frequencies as possible.  At home I listen to TV with my wireless headphones so I don't have to turn up the TV volume to disturb the neighbors.  I don't have an equalizer yet in the audio stream but it's now on my wishlist.  I also turn on the TV captioning to make sure I know what was said (especially for the British shows).

    I suppose it's possible to make a backpack with a car battery, a HiFi amp, equalizer, microphone and headphones to carry around when out of the house, but not very practical.  Sooooo, when the time comes I'll probably just go with one of those cheap "Louder is better" hearing-aids.

    my basil plant has turned out to be hardy window sil plant.  adopted her last April.

    she grew tall enough to pass the center window.

    i snipped off the top and put it in a glass of water, lo and behold, she sprouted roots.  put her in her own flower pot yesterday.  hoping the shock doesn't kill her.


    would the same procedure work with a holly? 
    one outside my door grown tall, and bushy.  holly bush branches sprout roots?

  • agent unawaresagent unawares Posts: 3,513

    You can root holly cuttings in soil. I do not know about water.
