AChickenByAnyOtherNameMightJustBeTheTicket It will be my Flfth year of working at the West Virginia State Fair. It would have been Slx+h but the Fair was cancelled in 2o2o courtesy of Covid. My Animal Activist GF who relocated to WV from Nebraska also applied for work at the State Fair. The application gives a choice of +hree jobs. One of hers was taking care of rabbits. I really didn't want to handle cash but once personnel found out about my WalMart experience, that is where they placed me. That fine with me. So last week GF called to tell me that she got the job at the State Fair. What I heard is that she would be with CHICKENS but expressed concern about the heat. Oh no, I told her. You are going to LOVE that place. I frequently went there on my breaks because it was air conditioned. I rambled on about how she is going to love working there. I finally put on my hearing aids. It wasn't chickens, it was tickets. She will be outside collecting tickets while I will be inside a booth selling them. She called her boss and requested to work nights. That works great for me because I work nights because I am not an early morning person. We can carpool. It's not the first time that I misheard something and it won't be the last time. We are going to take one night off to go see Foreign. Yea Haw.     Abracadabra  |

Chuckling..... even with his hearing aides, Joe sometimes gets things messed up. It happened today. We were in town and I told him that I needed to stop and get gas. After a couple other stops, I did just that, and then went to the grocery store. As we left the store's parking lot, he asked me where I needed to go to get grass. GRASS? Why in the world would I need to go get grass???? Well, he said, he didn't know, and he thought it was odd, but I told him I needed to get some grass.  Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

WITH A LITTLE LUCK, THE HEAT WAVES WILL BE OVER BEFORE THE FAIR AND YOU WILL BE OK. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? I WAS GETTING WORRIED.

The main difference between vowels and consonants lies in their articulation; a vowel is articulated with an open vocal tract whereas a consonant is articulated with complete or partial closure of the vocal tract.

Most hearing impaired people do okay with vowels and struggle with consonants. I can usually figure out what a person is saying even if I only hear part of the message but last years with folks wearing masks, I was challenged. I also went through that in stores and other gatherings. I've learned to take it with humor and laugh at myself when I goof up. The main difference between vowels and consonants lies in their articulation; a vowel is articulated with an open vocal tract whereas a consonant is articulated with complete or partial closure of the vocal tract. I STOPPED WEARING MY HEARING AIDES LONG AGO. I CHOSE WHO I TALK TO WHE NI AM OUT, THE OTHERS CAN BACK UP TO A LONG-NEEDLED CACTUS IN THEIR PRIVATES THE DAYS WILL END ... TIME WILL BE ETERNAL
