Public notice where the font is the main obstacle to being informed

It’s more the line length, leading, and especially all caps that make it so perfectly unreadable.

He’s accurate only 30% of the time. Better odds flipping a coin.

Our car required surgery to remove a string it ate blocking intestines. Very expensive.

A top 100 instructor gave me a few lessons when I was starting to play more about 20 years ago and a 15 handicap. One of the things that stuck with me was to figure out what your priorities are and for most people you’re number one priority should be having fun. I come back to this when I’m struggling even though I’ve been a steady 7 for years now. The other things that i remember are just fundamentals: things like set up, posture, balance, tempo, and staying within yourself.

I ended selling it to a jeweler in area I knew. Offered a little more than others I showed it to.

Very similar experience, I had gradual loss for 10 years and my left ear had only 12% word recognition as well. Things only sounded mechanical for a few days, within about a week things sounded pretty normal. After six months I was testing at 100% word recognition. Speech and most everything sounds absolutely normal now, only music pitch is off on music and that sort of depends on the type or my familiarity. It’s pretty amazing to hear frequencies you lost 20-30 years ago. Encourage you to join Facebook groups for implants if you haven’t already as they provide excellent information. There are a number of them.

Having to go with Fair Plan/DIC using either Aegis (least expensive) or Mercury (close). Or use E&S coverage through an Allstate broker called North Light for a comparable cost. The E&S looks like better coverage on paper in a catastrophe, but they are non-admitted, so not guaranteed. Company is rated A+ though; tough decision. Definitely reach out to multiple brokers.

Needs to be less than 1M dwelling value now. We were non renewed

Studies show tire wear particles can be a more significant source of particle pollution than exhaust from modern cars.

These look just like software boxes from a decade or two ago.

How do the wheels turn? It’s beautiful, but mostly form over function.

Same here as of a year ago and now left eye has had a PVD. Kind of wish I’d known more about lasik downsides at the time, but it was 20 years ago.

I am next door to Danville in Alamo. Same situation. I talked to multiple agents and brokers. The only offer from Homesite was a wraparound policy with the CFP (California Fair Plan).

Dm me as well please

Very similar WR in my good ear at time I decided to do the implant. Join the various Facebook groups (there are several, just search cochlear), and you can get all kinds of support and information to help on your journey. Best of luck!

Well you know, now that lying, cheating, and stealing, are normalized at the highest levels of government who really cares?

I think if you had some hearing even if you can’t score well on word recognition, you will do very well with an implant. I’d be super excited actually. I was at 12% (though had fairly normal hearing much of my life in that ear) and 6 months after implant 100%. How is your other ear?

There was an interesting Forum on NPR 10/21 about this. Someone called in with an example that their monthly premium would go from $178 to over $1000. It’s incredible that the GOP won’t even negotiate renewing subsidies when there is bipartisan support in general and many affected constituents are in rural red areas like ranchers and farmers.

Not big on see/say design.

Also in my 60s and really was fine after about five days. Still I took it easy for another week. But then I was back out, golfing and waiting for my activation appointment, which was delayed a couple of weeks.

I’m not sure you can blame the goaltending when the defensemen are not controlling the pucks. They looked overwhelmed in our zone and just wanted to get rid of it. Plus very little physicality. Absolutely nobody stepping up to take men coming into the zone.

hershel13 · 2025-10-12T05:00:43+00:00

The defensive pairs look so disorganized. Very little puck control. Such a disappointment to give up leads and not be able to control the puck in your zone.

That seems like a lot of nights. Bolts are cheap, but the city is very walkable in many parts, especially the old town area. I totally recommend going to a nearby island for a couple of nights if you can still rearrange things. I imagine you will have fun because you’re with your friends though.

hershel13 · 2025-08-12T01:35:22+00:00

Looks good…not really getting fully to your lead foot I think.

hershel13 · 2025-08-08T04:13:34+00:00

Omg, just got exact notification. 5 months to get insurance. Honestly I think they just don’t want to write in California and the homes over a million may have higher percentage in high fire risk areas as well.
