Rain coming back later. If the trampoline is dry it's coming down for the winter. There's snow in the forecast.

How's everyone doing today?
 
How come people with hearing aids (mom) gets pissed off and offended when they can't hear you or hear something totally different, and you ask them if their aids are on and they aren't.....but they still are mad at you :rolleyes:

Valid points but - In my experience, hearing aids suck. Yes I have good ones or top of the line 3 years ago but still electronic speaker in your ear. There is a disturbing noisy annoyance with them. Enough to drive anxiety through the roof. My hearing loss is not bad, only above a certain frequency, and can understand most conversations if I can see mouth movements and gestures. First words spoken are lost the most so getting ones attention prior to speaking is key. Bottom line, sucks getting old so please go easy on Mom as she navigates balancing peace of mind with hearing people. :)

Working in shops and extremely loud environments all my life I have the same problems. I do understand. I'm definitely not giving her a hard time. She actually says she loves her aids. If you ever met my mom you'd know. She can be stressful lol
