Top five things one should never inflict upon a hearing aid:
List of things I have inflicted upon my Hearing Aid:
That's right folks, after having the damned things for 26 years, I've finally completed the list. I ****ing dropped one of the stupid waxy things into a bucket full of water/napisan. I managed to NOT do it my whole damned life and NOW I do it. Feh!

I agree with Jonathong's last sentence.

Honestly BoP, there's a good reason why Beethoven preferred the Ear Trumpet ...you can do all those things to it, and it'll still be usable.

I might be going to the US over christmas to visit a good friend of mine.. Now I'm just thinking about in which different ways my mum can kill me when I tell her. And I guess she has the right to, I mean.. I'm crazy. I, a poor student, will use almost all the money I have on a trip to the other side of the planet to be with someone I've never met in person. I guess she either has to kill me or realize that her daughter is crazy, and likes it.

I have the opposite problem; I sleep too late! Though the end of that one is in sight...

I'm almost not unhappy... almost. It's sort of a love/hate thing .
I've gotten my voice from being unable to hit middle C to being able to hit the G above it, and I can do all sorts of things with my voice that I used to not be able to, and that most untrained singers can't. I'm proud of what I've done. On the other hand, tonight I auditioned for a part in the gospel choir I just joined and... blech. I know, I know--I'm a white boy doing gospel, and I'm a classical singer not a gospel singer. But damn, I got blown out of the water. Not only were the other singers older than I am, but they'd had more training, and were all pop-style singers. Damn good ones, too. But still... little depressed that I've worked so hard, and these other people who have such a talent for singing, and have had lots of training, are so much better than me. While my voice might've been a little smoother than some of them, I can't sing riffs like they can, and since my voice is a little smaller than an average voice, I can't belt as well as they can. Again, I was going up against 'the best', but still. I wish I was a better singer . Last edited by Tessar : 09-28-2006 at 03:36 AM. |

Hah, the karmic boot-stomp of death missed me. Neener neener. A good couple of days with some of those silica gel beads, and the hearing aid is as good as new, albeit REALLY clean. Yeehaw.
