    Hearing aids. Prescription VS Over the Counter.

    I second the Philips ones at Costco. My previous ones that were six years old were okay, but I always felt like I was listening through a “device.” These new Philips ones, I forget I am wearing them, everything sounds so perfectly natural. It’s like I can just hear like I should.

    What have you given up and the reason

    Charlie, great to hear that you survived the ordeal and are thriving. One’s first heart attack is often a wake-up call to make some changes, and it’s even better to use someone else’s first heart attack as a wake-up, so thanks for sharing your story. I am trying to embrace a more healthy...

    Burger King Whopper

    20 piece McNugget at McDonald’s is $9.99 now. That’s 50 cents a nugget! Can’t afford to eat at any of these places anymore. On the flip side, got a really nice Manhattan during happy hour at the 801 Chophouse bar for $11 the other day. Usually $15 - $17 most places. More Manhattans, fewer...

    Zenni optical

    I bought a number of pairs from them. The frames seemed of lower quality and broke prematurely. I switched to eyebuydirect.com and have been happier with the frame quality.

    Hannah Gutierrez-Reed gets 18 Months

    It's pretty clear that she was not well trained or competent to do the job of armorer. She got the job based on her daddy's reputation and was in over her head.

    Platar Fasciitis

    I had it pretty bad. I got some of the Dr. Scholl's inserts specifically for plantar fasciitis, for a mere $15. After about a month I was fine. Arch support is the key. I have a pair in my slippers now (my main footwear in the house) and they had no arch support whatsoever on their own. I have a...

    Pawn shop / gas station

    Used to be a combination tobacco and music store in Minneapolis called the Podium, where I bought my first fiddle. Upstairs smelled like cigars, downstairs smelled like guitars.
