Dogs, hearing aids and 30°

I don’t believe that there is ANY hearing aid a dog couldn’t swallow unless it would be the horn they used to use!!! $1750 is about right, too. Makes ya wonder what the heck is inside that little earpiece!

I’d LOVE 30°. I’ve had to turn my furnace up higher than I like considering it’s only January. I’m on the first floor, there’s no basement, and even though I have all to wall, small rugs down the hall, and rugs on the kitchen and bathroom floors, it still doesn’t get really warm in here until late afternoon. I’ve taken to leaving the vertical blinds totally closed even tho the cats like to look out – the so-called double pane glass used here doesn’t do a whole lot. I do enjoy the cold weather but not when it’s outside AND in!!

Ebony was part Lab and a real sweetheart. That was nice of Continental to give you her phone number; so many companies would say, sorry, that’s not in our job description. The so-called ‘service’ these days isn’t !!

I finished Margaret Truman’s FIRST LADIES and thoroughly enjoyed it. She has debunked some of the myths about the ladies and then explained why. She thinks higher of Mary Todd Lincoln, for one, than most historians, explaining that much of her reputation centers around her ‘madness.’ Well, who wouldn’t be somewhat unhinged after all that happened to her; she loses a son and then her husband is shot under her very eyes. Truman looks at the women as to how they handled the First Lady business. The book is well done, I think. I recommend it.
