Lena Luthor is hotter then Supergirl
Well as long as you mean OG Wonder Woman played by Lynda Carter then I will agree

Nah, they always talk behind our backs, the hosers!
I guess this is the place to post this.
I have early hearing loss. (thanks dad). Only dad and I have it. Well, he died so he had it.
Being so young and having this is hard as well.
It has been hard to learn I was not hearing well and miss so much because of this.
Tomorrow I get my hearing aids. I have very mixed feelings about this. I will have ones (in both ears) that won't show too much. But still I am very uncomfortable about having them and don't want too many people to know. I only told my mom, my husband knows and a couple of friends but that is all.
I don't know if I will ever feel comfortable enough to have my ears showing anymore. I like to wear pony tails and even when not wearing one I put my hair back behind my ears.
I like to walk in the rain and get my hair really wet. Now I won't be able to after the hearing aids. And I have to wear them every day. So my brain can get used to them. It is good there is no brain damage which can happen with hearing loss. Though I do now have some balance problems which will correct hopefully once I get them.
I am told it will take me about 6 months to get used to the hearing aids.
Costco which is where I am getting them from let me try them out in the store for about 30 mins. And I could hear better but not like normal hearing, it was like hearing thru a speaker, though if you have not had the experience of wearing them that must sounds strange. Can't find a better way to explain.
What a early birthday gift to get this year. My birthday is next week. Though, no matter what anything would beat last year. When I was in the hospital intensive care unit.
.
Just needed to talk to someone about this other than my husband or mom or friend. Someone I don't know and could just listen to me. If that makes sense to anyone?
One of ,my friends I just talked with told me it is okay to feel that way I do. "They are your feelings she said and you should just face them and get that part of it over with instead of keeping it all in."
I know she is right.
Has/have any of you had early hearing loss and needed hearing aids? Or just have them now?
How long did it take you to get used to them?
How did you like them?
My dad hated the hearing aids he had and went thru many different types and finally gave up.
I am not going to do that, I will stick with it.
Just not looking forward to having to remember one more thing in my life. Taking care of them taking them in and out and recharging them and so on...
I feel a little better but still really nervous about tomorrow.
Plus right after getting them we are going out to a musical. So hoping I do okay with that and don't get overwhelmed with all the sound I will suddenly be experiencing. I figure the next day I will be so worn out!
Anyway, please tell me your story, your first day with them, how you learned of your hearing loss. Whatever you want to share.
Oh, on a side note how I found out I needed them was when I was recovering last year from my surgery and I noticed I couldn't hear certain things. Like some things my husband would say to me or my cat meowing and movies and tv shows I was re-watching I was missing some of what was being said. Since I knew what was supposed to be said knowing them so well. Having a long recovery on the couch with nothing to do, was how I found out. Maybe I still would not know if it wasn't for that?
All that being said I am very grateful that such things as hearing aids do exist, it would be way worst if I just loss my hearing and that was all folks.
Also so glad these will be hard to see. In some old movies I have seen, people used horn shaped things they would hold up and say "what did you say" or just say huh?
I don't want to be the HUH person my dad was!
Thanks for listening to me.
I will tell you how it goes.
I am so sorry if this is too long!

I HATE springing forward and then later falling back... tick-tock.
It doesn't affect me much, butt it's still a pain in the ass.

I don't have hearing aids but just think of them as augments to help you, just like glasses.I guess this is the place to post this.

Just think of the advantages of having the hearing aids:
- You can tune out people/things you don't want to listen to.
- You can pretend to turn them off and hear what people really say (maybe not a advantage...)
- Repeatedly say "Huh?" as if you didn't hear or understand others, but really did. Repeat until they give up- very helpful for sales people or those talking politics you don't agree with.
Sooooooo....what kind of staged, faked, pre-planned face slap is gonna happen at the Oscars this time?
I've had the same results with DuckDuckGo and its "Duck Player".
Maybe Cate slaps Michelle, much staged fun ensues...
I've always wanted to try Brave, I assume it's familiar enough to use like others, such as Firefox which is my default browser at the moment.
We finally got that Indy and Short Round reunion!
I'm just gonna hazard a guess that anyone who tries to slap Michelle Yeoh (staged or not) will wake up missing several key limbs.
You should meet my friend. He does it quite well, even with still having a beard.
I’ve been shaving my head every day for the last 20 years. I HATE the way I look with hair.
True, I look like Ming the Merciless with a hangover, but I’ll take that risk.

Jason Statham. Bruce Willis. Mark Strong. Howie Mandel.
Patrick Stewart never shaved his head (he lost his hair fairly young) but he looks WAY better bald than with a hair piece.
