What Are The Lessor Known Implications of Hearing Loss?

hearing loss

Something a lot of people, especially younger people, don’t realize about hearing loss is how much MORE there is to it than just “needing to listen to things louder when you’re old” or “some ringing” to varying degrees.

My father has hearing loss which he incurred on the job – he was a radio DJ in the 60s/70s and between the sound levels at work and the sound levels at concerts he went to for reviewing purposes, he did permanent damage to his hearing. Tinnitus is one element, hearing loss of certain frequencies is another.

Picture of the Day

This is Su filindeu (thread of gods), a pasta so difficult to prepare that only three women of a single Sardinian family know how to make it

The ingredients are simple: semolina wheat, water, and salt. The serving preparation is similarly uncomplicated: gamey mutton broth and a helping of tangy pecorino cheese. Making the pasta, however, is nearly impossible. Engineers from the Barilla pasta company attempted, unsuccessfully, to build a machine that could reproduce the technique. Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver also visited Sardinia in hopes of mastering the elusive noodle. After two hours, he gave up.

What Is It Like To Become Poor After Being Wealthy?

rich to poor

The global financial crisis destroyed me in 2008. The years immediately after were some of the worst years of my life. I lost everything; or at least I thought I did.

As it turns out, I didn’t lose much at all (assuming you don’t count approximately $3 million in real estate equity and a couple of hundred thousand dollars in cash, as “much”).

Why Do Many Christians Marry Young?

why do christians marry so young

Because the church as a whole encourages young marriage for a few reasons, some spiritual and some practical. I’m speaking from the perspective of someone who was raised in a very traditional Pentecostal church. A lot of what I say can translate to other denominations also but they may not be as strict as what I grew up on.

1. COURTSHIP “POLICY”: The longer you date or court someone is the more likely that you will engage in sexual activity before marriage…a sin known as FORNICATION!! It’s very normal for a couple to literally date for only 6 months and the pastor will give them the green light to get married. That seems unheard of but it’s VERY common in the traditional church! Long courtships are STRONGLY discouraged!

This magnificent rooster defended his flock of clucking hens from god knows what, and he’s got the bloodstains and scars to prove it.⁣

Whatever it was that knocked, this rooster answered and survived to see another sunrise. Roosters are the head of the flock, charged with setting the pecking order straight and keeping that order within the group.⁣

Yeah, they come to snuff the rooster…⁣

Their other job is to be first in line to kick some ass, no matter what goes bump in the night, the rooster takes the hit for the group. Common chicken thieves range between free roaming cats to fucking bears, but the rooster cares not – his prime directive is to put his life on the line in defense of others and he serves his duty to the letter.⁣

You know he ain’t gonna die⁣.
