    That cat is so beautiful he can lay wherever he pleases :-) I'm not sure how they think that is comfortable though.

    Cat Avatars Everywhere!

    All pretty! Judging by your name I would say you have given them a bath and tried to give them a pill. :)

    Cat Avatars Everywhere!

    I somehow missed this thread when it began. I have been enjoying looking at all of the beautiful SatGuys cats. I have cat avatars and love cats but haven't had one in... about 24 years before my son was born. I really would love to have one again but allergies make me afraid to try. I could...

    If You Could Move Anywhere in the US, Where Would it Be?

    I used to think that way but it's simply the reverse of what I have now. For four months or so we hibernate in from the cold and snow. So for what....... Two months we would stay inside to keep out of the heat and not have to shovel feet of the white stuff.

    If You Could Move Anywhere in the US, Where Would it Be?

    Ive been looking at places that we would not have to snowblow or shovel feet of snow. I dont like heat very well so would not want to live too far south. So far NC has been very interesting.

    Kitchen floor tile job

    Very true! The "professional" is the reason we ended up gutting the bathroom and have been without a tub/shower for about 3 weeks as I explained in the "whats making you sad" thread. It cost us over $1000 for the plumber so we may just as well have burned up the money. It has been one heck of...

    Kitchen floor tile job

    Sorry to hear that. I know how it feels when a project gets stalled but sometimes you just can't help it. Gotta take care of yourself first or you will only pay for it in the long run.

    Kitchen floor tile job

    The only problem I had with ceramic tiles in the kitchen is that it is a very hard surface so if you stand in the kitchen a lot and have a bad back/knees it hurts.

    Good Books

    I read the Sue Grafton ones a long time ago. I remember I liked them. I can't even remember what letter I got up to before I "never got time to read any more" I started doing the Audible books on my Iphone a little over a year ago when my son bought me a subscription. Now I listen on my...

    Tinnitus

    Not to worry. Just about everyone actually experiences it short term every now and then. It makes it easier to feel sympathy for those that have to "live with it".

    Many military men are having problems and have gone to the VA hospitals. After checking their records for noise exposure. After a bit (well a lot actually) of paperwork the VA hospitals that deal with tinnitus have paid.

    Tinnitus

    ENTs are typically the ones that try injections or drugs of different types. Audiologists typically use other methods. Really you should read the NY Times article that I posted above. It is not just about our clinic. The writer personally has tinnitus and the article was about the problem...

    Tinnitus

    What you are describing is called a noise generator. These are much cheaper than the neuromonics device. If you decide to go to an audiologist to try any of these things make sure they have the "trial" period. In NY state it is 45 days. Here is a link to one manufacturer of noise...

    Tinnitus

    Neuromonics would be between $4500 and $5000 including the device and the program which they expect to be about 18 - 24 months. Unless you have an unusual plan most insurances do not cover it at all. Most insurances.... at least here in NY State will cover the initial evaluation but none of...

    Tinnitus

    As the above New Yorker article explains Tinnitus is caused by a lot of different things. Page 1 and page 5 contain most of our clinic information. Dr Salvi is in the research department. Sometimes people do not know what caused it for them. I am not an audiologist and do not know everything...

    Tinnitus

    I just went to the Neuromonics site. There is a military base in AL that apparently does Neuromonics. That means they do other things too.

    Gas or Electric Heat/Appliances

    I always want a gas kitchen range, we have gas heat but for some odd reason I have an electric clothes dryer because I found a gas one scarey. Dont ask me why bbecause I have no idea. If I remember correctly I think the gas company web site might have a comparison of savings.

    Until this we have only gone to see special things we just didn't want to wait for. Like the release of STar Trek or Star Wars and a couple others. Just because it is sooooo hard to wait. Van..... I can't for the life of me remember where I got "Iggy" but you are welcome to copy him from me...
