Thanks, Babs2u. Jules, yeah she's feisty!

This is my first "portrait" painting. I will be concentrating on senior citizens and just plain fun people.

Our apartment building had its first talent show. The large community room was packed. **** I just uploaded the PDF file of the poem. "There's a Place."

Thanks, Ronnie. Have a great day.

It began about a month ago. I volunteered to read one of my poems at our first talent show. I had not read anything in public since I was 16 years old. Everyone loved the poem. They all applauded. They applauded even more when I said I'd written the poem. Wow, I was surprised and elated. Then...

Thanks, everyone, for your support. Yeah, that licorice wasn't very good for me. I reluctantly gave it away.

About two months ago my doctor said I no longer need to take Insulin. My A1C level is 5.5. The doctor said that is fantastic. I have never used any formal diet. I don't exercise. I did cut out my sweet snacks. I allow myself some Lay's potato chips, but need to ration them out. The Glucose...

We tried to install an app on my iPhone while at the doctor's office. My iPhone refused to work with the data connection. I installed it when I got home. So far I like the hearing aids. I still need to spend an entire day getting used to them.

I have some good medical coverage due to my being a senior, etc. Everything was free. We got the best they had to offer. The hearing aids work together with my iPhone. I can answer the phone using bluetooth and the hearing aids. I have 95% hearing in my left ear. The right ear is totally gone...

Thanks, everyone, for the birthday wishes.

You may have heard I lost hearing in my right ear a couple months ago. A blood vessel burst (that is a rare ocurrence). It can't be repaired. I had my hearing test to confirm the hearing loss, and immediately saw an ear, nose & throat specialist. I got the new hearing aids two weeks later. I'm...

I'm not quite sure how to answer the question of hearing aids. The Ear Nose and Throat doctor said I medically qualify for hearing aids. She mentioned something that sounded like BiCros. It apparently captures sound in the right side and transfers it to the left side?! I have an appointment on...
