Wow wee @Mary Beth!! We had 2 false alarms but I’m sure our snow is on the way 🥶☃️❄️

Eyes Open, Ears ON!
 

Hi @Megan L., happy to read you...
After 3 years..mmmm, _sincerely, it is not perfect, but never I want to go back 🙂. This is not an easy trip, looking forward without giving up...

This is a great idea @Mary Beth!! I’m definitely going to look into this. My apartment came with a talking smoke alarm but I brought another smoke alarm with a strobe. If anyone ever knocks on my door while I’m sleeping, this might work! I have a door bell that flashes but...ya know most people don’t push it, they knock 👎 Thanks for sharing 😁

@VirginiaMomof2, @Megan L. is in NYC now

Hello all,
ALDA (Association of Late Deafened Adults) just announced the location of their annual conference for 2020.  It is in Niagara Falls, NY October 21-25, 2020.
I am attending and I hope many of you will attend too.
Even if you do not plan on attending, it can be a great opportunity to meet up for fun in person either before or after the conference.
Who is interested in meeting up in Niagara Falls NY before or after this conference?  Who is interested in attending the conference?
Tagging some people to start us off and hope many more will join in.  This could be fun!

Which week?
Last week while we were on vacation we heard a cuckoo outside our cottage window.  Lots of birds everywhere.  The sound of the ocean.  A choir practicing in the cathedral in Coutances.  And in the spirit of Jewel's restroom story, I went into one in the airport in Paris and had to wait for a free stall.  The woman who came out said something to me in French, and I was able to hear - and actually understood - not the whole sentence but recognized a couple of words and understood that the stall was out of paper.

Hearing the various birds at the ocean while on vacation 
Hearing the roar of the waves of the ocean 

@Megan L.  Sure hope you are settling into your city apt!  So cool!

Juicy peach at lunch today. Sounded like rain really.  Sound effect complimented flavor and texture really well

The squeak and creak of my new apartment 😆 HAHA 
The hustle and bustle and honking taxis of NYC to remind me how far I’ve come since Parsons!
And being able to carry a full blown conversations with my coworkers without having to see their faces!!

1. Light drizzle outside my house 
2. Birds chirping away while I'm sitting in bumper to bumper traffic 
3. Two coworkers carrying on a conversation in separate cubicles in the restroom 
4. My coworker talking to me while I'm outside washing my hands and she's still in a cubicle!
None of this was possible a year ago! Happy dance! 💃💃💃💃

My favorite sounds this week.....
Rain on the roof
Trees rustling in the wind
Birds and more birds 
Laughter
Hearing my six-year old granddaughter tell me I’m the best Grammy in the whole world!

Hearing and replying to context with store clerks- kind of took me by surprise as a noisy environment. 
Also hearing better on phone calls

My favorite sounds this week....
-happy chirp from our cat
-old 80s songs on the car radio with the windows down
-rain hitting the windows
-teenagers joking across the classroom
-knitting needles clicking
-food sizzling on the hot grill

Removeable ears are quite a perk at times!  @Mary Featherston

Yesterday I was able to use my new superpower for real:  we had an 8.5 hour flight and a toddler two rows ahead screamed for at least three of those hours (intermittently throughout the flight).  I just popped the magnets off my implants.  🙂

Thank you @Jewel and @Mary Beth!!
I’m looking forward to the move but the smoke alarm has me a little anxious as I try to figure it out. Thanks for the suggestion MB! I haven’t seen this one yet but looks promising 😁

Congrats @Megan L. on the promotion and new apartment! 

Congratulations @Megan L.!
 
I use Silent Call with a vibrating alert under my mattress to alert me when I am sleeping.
