The NFC B-Day Chat Thread

[Marie2020]

I have temporary hearing aids in them. The left one is like a microphone that picks us sound on my always-deaf side and transmits it via Bluetooth to the hearing aid in my right ear, so now I can hear what’s being said on what was once my profoundly deaf side. That part is nice.

But the hearing aids haven’t really done much beyond that. I see the ENT on the 30th to see if there’s damage on the right side, deep inside the ear in those little bones that live in there. If there is, they can do surgery to repair them and give me my hearing back. If not, I have a new normal.

This happens soon and goes smoothly
My neighbour who was completely deaf has had this amazing operation and a piece connected. I almost fainted when she joined in with a conversation I was having with someone else because I didn't know this had happened, it was a wonderful surprise

Good moooorning my favorite peeps!

They didn’t seem to be. Every morning they’d come up from the river, which is pretty close to Lori’s house, in groups of 2 or 3. If you caught their interest, they’d approach you, but cautiously, and get pretty close. But they’ve never attacked anyone. Then in the evening they’d wander through the neighborhood back to the river, walking across sidewalks, lawns, and driveways. Steve and Lori estimate about 25 birds in the flock total.

I love that.

I have used a generic spinosad. It is weaker than elector but did the trick!

Some examples are: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=spinosad&rh=n:553844,n:23539053011&dc&ds=v1:lHB9jNe7C/3FB79PrVreilS0QfNxhWKojYv/QD6POWk&crid=3MY48PF468OKR&qid=1656436038&rnid=2941120011&sprefix=spino,aps,136&ref=sr_nr_n_2

Thank you, I like there is a spray form available too.

I was wondering about that.

I think the elector cost around $100. I'm not going to run out for a long, long time, but I know the cost is a big deterrent for many. I feel like it was an excellent purchase at that price, but it's a shame that you can't buy a smaller bottle.

I agree. I didn't buy a large bottle of permethrin but I still have a lot. I prefer the already-made sprays but it's too expensive during infestations.
