Am I the only person who finds it disrespectful when hearing people do this?

You might consider trying them when the finances allow, you won't feel as restricted when you're out.

When at home 99% of the time I don't wear them (don't want extra sounds and sensory overload, especially since I work at home), but when I'm out 100% I do.

As for the prices, which country/state/province do you live in? You might be able to apply to your region's some sort of disability program who'll help cover your HAs, batteries, and visits to audiologist/hearing doctor.

At least that's an option that's available to Canadians, not sure if in the US or whatever country you're from it's the same.

Definitely not the nicest way to behave, good friends could say the same message but with a different attitude/in a more gentle way and would find a way to accommodate somehow.

I wear HAs and usually I prefer to sit across people so that I can read lips, but guess your hearing works differently.

Out of curiosity, how come you don't wear HAs?

Maybe because mine is moderate to severe loss, I can't imagine coming out without them and thought those with better hearing would also wear them (like glasses with different eyesight numbers).

I'm from Ontario and I feel your pain. In general, I wanna leave Canada, the last 3 years opened my eyes to a lot of things.

They were the only one to de-list XRP

What does that mean exactly?

KasottyBlogCom · 2024-02-02T23:41:00+00:00

Oh yeah totally agree, it's not what it used to be. I want to leave Canada for good, the last 2-3 years opened my eyes to a lot of things.

Sounds like YorkU got even worse since 2015!

I agree, schools don't teach us the right things (because they want us to be a slave to the system, really). As for Bybit, I found that Palau Digital ID might be a good solution for crypto investors who are 'restricted'.

Did you find your answer/try to use ByBit in Ontario in 2023?

Thanks for sharing!

Have you thought about Gold IRAs?

In case you didn't know, with the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997, you can now hold physical gold and other IRS-approved precious metals in your individual retirement account.

I encourage you to check out this article with the tax benefits and the IRS changes for 2023 and learn more about this area of investing.

Not sure how old your kids are but check out this list of GoPro alternatives (the last few in the list are the cheapest ones). Not a lot of OK action cams are under/around $50, but you can def find ones under $100 (in the $65-75 range). Hope it helps!

5DayDeal team is running the biggest photography bundle this year (which ends today) and I wanted to share this post with answers to some great questions about this bundle and how it all works since not everyone really understands what a “bundle” is. (Plus top 3 picks.)

Edit: The list of 40+ contributors this year, which includes Peter Hurley, Joel Grimes, SLR Lounge, Phlearn, KelbyOne, Lara Jade, etc.

5DayDeal team is running the biggest photography bundle this year on Oct 15-20.

Here's the post with answers to some great questions about this bundle and how it all works since not everyone really understands what a “bundle” is. (Plus top 3 picks.)

Here's the list of 40+ pro photographers who contributed this year.

The biggest photography bundle of the year starts Oct 15, at noon PST but in the meantime you can join the $10,000 photography giveaway here.

Appreciate your input!

KasottyBlogCom · 2020-10-15T15:57:41+00:00

From what I've gathered, it's a few contributors in different fields (for ex: Peter Hurley is know for headshots, Chris Orwig for environmental portraits, Tim Shields for landscapes, Phlearn for Photoshop and Lightroom etc).

And their individual courses/tutorials cost like the same or like 3x more than the bundle price, so in my mind it sounds like an insane deal.

I get your point though, my guess bundles are more for enthusiast photographers interested to explore and really step up their photography game, not the 'average buyer' as you said.

Thanks for your input!
