On the hearing aid thing, hopefully this will push the prices down. Like a generic drug to the mix. I feel they will be in my future shortly. I’m already watching TV with the captions on at all times. My mom has needed them forever, yet barely wears them. My ears are so scarred from recurring infections as a child. I can still taste the bubblegum amoxicillin from the health department clinic.

Hearing aid anecdote- my paternal grandmother died last year and had very $$ hearing aids. She was cremated and obviously those don’t stay with the body, so my parents gave them to my maternal grandfather who need some.

Oh god 2010 was the year of the Aidens. So many kids named Aiden. Boy and girl. And the seemingly bazillion versions starting with any given letter of the alphabet, sometimes switching the i to y.

Recall with available safety strap fastener
"Consumers with infants who can crawl should immediately stop using the recalled swings and rockers, place them in an area where crawling infants cannot access and register your product immediately to receive a free strap fastener that will prevent the straps from extending under the swing when not in use,"
The products do not need to be disposed of. 4moms has created a strap fastener that secures the straps when the swings and rockers are not in use.
The straps are free, you just need to email safetyandrecall@4moms.com, call the recall hotline at 877-870-7390, or order a strap online through the website.

But will they be affordable? My Dad's hearing aids cost several thousands of dollars In theory yes H's newest hearing aids ended up costing around $3000. For non "state of the art" hearing aids. Most older people could never afford those. Hell, even at 37, it is still something we have to budget for every few years.

richard You'd think it was an Onion article if we weren't in this timeline. Too juvenile to decide whether she can have a child, so we'll tell her she is ready to have a child. I HATE EVERYTHING. I just can't begin to understand this logic at all

Apparently our asshole governor in VA is going to MI to stump for Tudor Dixon. We apologize in advance. Grrrrrrr.....keep your nose in your own state. I've read that statistically she has a snowballs chance in hell, but we all know how that can go.

While driving this afternoon, spotted a very old Jeep with a tattered “McCain: Country First” bumper sticker under a faded one that said, “Hillary Clinton: Outsourcing blow jobs since 1995”
Simpler times…

The bumper sticker post reminded me that I met someone else who lives near me with a 1st grader too, but closer to the T & DTOM flags. Was able to both figure out how close we are and feel out their leanings by using that info. New neighborhood friend. Yay!

I can't vote in PA anymore but I still donate like I live there.

I turned text bubbles back on recently bc I have Too Many Notifications during election season. DD saw the one from the WH community text chain with a portrait of POTUS the other day and now she thinks I just text back and forth with Joe Biden every couple of days 🤣
ETA: this is just the totally generic Biden team text chain, nothing special or privileged
