As far as the hearing thing...speaking from experience with my folks...they know they have hearing aids, they know they replaced their batteries, but for some reason, they cannot admit that they <b>just don't work</b> like they should so they never go get them adjusted!The W.O.W. factor!https://www.blogger.com/profile/18262478798908787803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-68732528854869670842012-01-24T14:31:25.755-06:002012-01-24T14:31:25.755-06:00I'm sure all went well, and like said above, y...I'm sure all went well, and like said above, you gave them all they wanted/or needed to know!!!!

I live in a town that has a majority of them and they are a sorry bunch for the most part. I'm older, 63 and happy as a lark...one lady even barked at me I probably had too much of that "happy" chemical (I'm old...I can't remember the name of it! LOL!) in my brain as she couldn't understand why I was always in a good mood! LOL! These people I'm referring to are retired, in good health and with plenty of money and either live on the lake or near the golf course...if they're not happy now...when? I hate to tell them but it's all down hill from here! LOL!<br />I have since stopped volunteering, going to church, etc....I'm pretty much a recluse now. They were depressing ME who never gets down or at least not for long. I'm happy as long as I stay to myself! Should I seek help?
