Sunday morning, after the Praise and Worship portion of the service, I had a horrible experience. The tinnitus that had been plaguing my sleep and awake times flared up HARD. Now, instead of a gentle static in the background of everything, the static is full volume and I can’t hear anything over it. Or under it. Or through it.

TMBWitW arranged an appointment for me for tomorrow (Tuesday) afternoon. How I made it through today’s work I don’t know.

As an explanation of what I hear, go put your headphones on – the ones connected to your FM receiver. Find a frequency between stations. Turn the volume up to eleven. Now try to think or sleep. Look at someone while they are talking to you. Can you read their lips? I sort of can – as long as they are facing me. I spent a lot of time not interacting with customers today. I also somehow managed to start the training for a new guy.

The thing I miss most of all is the sound of MEG’s voice. She is a quick little learner, though – her Mommy told her to make sure I could see her, then talk to me normally – and Daddy would try to read her lips. You could see that concept working through her mind, and her lips kinda moved a little as she held her fingers over them to feel what they were doing while she talked – then she very carefully got my attention, and said “Daddy, I love you.” I could read her lips – but I couldn’t hear her sweet voice.

Sure hope the Ear Nose Throat Doctor can help me work through this.

Chat ya later…

Been busy pulling together the 3rd Annual Toy Tester event at work. Tomorrow, 10 – 3. C’mon by, bring the kiddos, and play all day.

First one to mention that we are supposed to break 100 tomorrow gets a kick in the shins.

If you can’t take the time to read restrictions on parking, certainly the information provided about politicians would be WAAAAY too much to wade through, right?

No, I did not obscure the tag number. I figure everyone should have a heads up here – if you see this one in your area of operation, just get out of the way.

Drivers like this is why I started #phoenixdrivers.

Obama(THHO)’s lap-dog (no, not the media!) Janet Napolitano actually said something that struck me as a possible light in the otherwise pitch darkness of liberal thoughts:

“… the plain fact of the matter is, having a child in and of itself does not bestow citizenship.”

Wow. Plain, unadulterated common sense. How the heck did that slip out?

She was referring, of course, to the terrible tragedy of criminal illegal immigrant parents being deported, even though they have US-citizenship children – anchor babies. There is a whole lot of hand-wringing going on with the fact that these parents are being deported (as they should be) and the poor children are being left behind.

Let’s face facts here: If the parents weren’t criminally involved, they would not have enough of a profile to be deported. The law enforcement of this country simply will not (with the exception of Arpaio and a few like-minded sheriffs) make a concentrated effort to deport those who are here illegally. However, once you are in the criminal system, and your immigration status is confirmed, buh-bye. And as for the children you have given birth to while you were here, hoping to use them as anchors that would keep you here? Well, we don’t want to be accused of breaking up the family unit, so how’s about we send your kids with you?

There, I fixed it.
