I have to run subtitles when I can because I can't hear very well.

Sucks to watch something that doesn't have subtitles, I have to pause, rewind, pause, rewind then ask BF what they're saying.

I hear you!

I have the most trouble with Australian shows...is that even really English?

 

[ronott1]

Dh and I both have trouble hearing we do the pause rewind can't look at subtitles. They drive us bonkers. Lol
It's better with the sound bar though.

Yep! I added a soundbar in December. It really does help

No, it is Australian!

Of course there are some English "accents" (both across the pond and in the USA) that take some ear->brain tweaking to understand depending on what is "normal" to each of us.

Many, many years ago, when the world and I were young, some friends and I had lunch in a restaurant in Rockefeller Center in New York City. This was the first time some of my friends had been out of North Carolina, and judging by her accent, the waitress was a native that hadn't strayed far from her birthplace much, either. We were all speaking 'Murcan' English, but I wound up having to translate - both ways!

Good idea about the water bottles Wisher. I think I will start saving them, too.
My coop is almost in a predator free area- I am in town and the only predators I see are hawks and feral cats. I have a 6 ft privacy fence around my yard, but the cats tend to scale them at night. So far, I have only lost one chick to an unknown predator- head and wings were all that was left and it was about 100 ft from the coop, by the fence. One night, my welsummer pullet didn't go into the coop and something nearly got her. She had tail feathers scattered on the ground and only 2 left on her tail- she never misses getting in the coop now. One chick was killed by the dog- I didn't realize she was a hunter. Problem fixed with another fence for the dog yard. I see hawks all the time in my pecan tree, but there are plenty of hiding places for the chickens- luckily. Glad I don't have to deal with coons, coyotes, foxes, possums or skunks. Do have owls, but I try to scare them off when I hear them.

deb, I WASN'T joking. That oral stuff goes right through me. I've threatened to wear adult diapers, and carry wipes in my purse for those stupid tests. So far, I've always made it through the test, but not always home before I was hunting a bathroom.

I know... but I was joking for me... I really have a cast iron stommach.... Except my bladder. But then I never drank barium before....

 

[getaclue]

It's not my bladder that it affects. LOL!
