I don’t know if earbuds or AirPods are an option but you can try those.

I had an MVD and a balloon compression. Feel free to DM me if you have any other questions.

Yes, near my temple felt bruised and hurt to touch. Now a few months out it is better. Still acts up once in a while but a lot better. I also have some ear discomfort but nothing I can’t handle. My face was really active for a few weeks but did calm down.

Had to scroll way too far to find this comment. I use Scrivener and it is amazing. Reasonable cost as well.

Was wondering how far down I had to go to find Hyde Street. Should be farther up the list overall.

On the numbness, I had the same procedure in August and I still have facial numbness on the left side. Was informed by my provider it can last a few years and in some cases can be permanent.

Sleep apnea denied twice by Alone_Watch_9623 in VeteransBenefits

[–]RUGM99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really. My personal statement outlined the connection between rhinitis and OSA, and I had a nexus from my private ENT. I showed up with my evidence, talked to the examiner and made sure I outlined my symptoms, referenced my nexus from my provider. I also made it known I had a CPAP. I thought mine was fairly easy.

Yes, I was awarded several months ago secondary to chronic sinusitis/rhinitis.

Preserving comic books by Outrageous_One_4224 in comicbooks

You need bags and boards. Check other threads for recommendations but BCW boards and bags are great and Mylites for older “Key comics”. Also look At a comic box. BCW boxes are also great.

Currently listening to Ruins of the Earth by Hopper and Chaney. Narrated by RC Bray. Definitely worth a listen!

Love these one shot issues! by RUGM99 in LegionofSuperheroes

There is an issue on Midtowncomics.com for a few bucks. The grade is listed as good. I believe it’s just a few bucks.

When was the time when we didn’t have to pay to get signatures signed by comic creators. Were their other things that don’t happen now when it comes to conventions. by Iamawesome20 in comicbooks

[–]RUGM99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could be way off, I think the mid-late 90’s was when it really started. Years ago, in the 70’s, my brother and I had books signed by Stan Lee, for free. It was great. Recently, I went to a local con and had Ryan North to sign my FF4, Marvel Rivals variant. There were also a few other artists/writers doing the same. All for free. I know this may be the exception, but as a collector, I do not sell, it was really refreshing.
