RN, Hermie, I wonder if homeowner's insurance help cover it? Since the dog ate it? Long shot, I know. Of course, RN I have this image of you checking your dog's poop to see if it came out the other end... One of my cats eats yarn. Since I have bought yarn that is around $35 a skein, I make fer damn sure it's put away. One time he got hold of some (fortunately relatively inexpensive) and it didn't quite make it all out in one shot. I call him Yarn Butt now when I see him go after the yarn.

RN, Hermi, sorry your dog ate your hearing aid! If $ is the issue, I filed online for Care Credit for dental work. There are no interest type plans available, and the rates are reasonable. I got approved within about a minute. You can find out information about this in the link below. Doctors/dentists, etc. all over the country accept this credit plan. I'll bet you can be back in business in no time! They even have extended payment plans, up to 5 years at only 11.9%. Not bad. Yes, hearing aids and audiologists are covered within their plans. http://www.carecredit.com/hearing/whycc.html

Hermi, check with your insurance and see if "the dog ate it" is covered under your homeowner's insurance. RN, anyone else thinking of taking up a collection if Hermi isn't poking thru poo? (I'm serious!)

Right now, my homeowner's won't cover. I already tried that. I'll be okay. Probably get a personal loan from my credit union. No collections, there are so many people in more need than me, but thank you! And by the dog ate it, I mean she crunched it into pieces!! I'll have to post a picture of the remnants.

RN: I have care credit for medical stuff. It's not worth it. Get a credit card and use it for medical only, instead. The interest rate will be A LOT lower.

RN Hermie is there the same kinda warranty on hearing aids as you can get on glasses? Taking a dog crunched hearing aid in can't be any worse than the first time I took Caleb's glasses in thinking they were beyond repair and having to explain how my 2 year old daughter took them out front and ground the lenses on the driveway. Or the 3rd time I took them in in a ziplock bag in pieces and explaining my boy got hit in the face with a ball....oopsie. This was through lenscrafters and you don't even pay for the warranty until or unless something happens to your glasses, I was pretty surprised what they would cover. Wonder if there's something similar for hearing aids?

Right now, Bigdog also suggested the poop watch, but I see that has already been covered.

RN I'm not trying to be preachy but just have to say my mom died of COPD. They told us August 1998 she had only a few days to live. November 1998 the university hospital sent her home to die. January 2001 she was on 18 litres of oxygen and everybody but her small town doctor said she wouldn't live past 2 days. March 19, 2003 her new doctor stated she wouldn't make it until summer. [She was right, just missed it by a year!] Heck May 31, 2004 the hospice nurse stated at 8:45pm she wouldn't live more than 48 hours, but probably less than 24 hours. So as stubborn as my dear momsy was, she didn't die until June 2nd at 9:53pm just to prove Kristen wrong. [Or so in our weird sense of humor we like to think.] I'm not going give up just because some doctor gives me a time frame for life!

RN Hermie, I can really sympathize with you. My dad was thrown in a pool at a party wearing his hearing aid and his NON-waterproof watch. Forget the watch. He had to go without a hearing aid for a week. It was so hard on him. I'll never forget that.

Right now, ah Twinkie, it is hard. It's so isolating. My hearing loss is in the severe-profound range and without my hearing aid, I am pretty much completely deaf. The only things I can really hear without it are very loud and deep sounds, like a bass drum, and sometimes thunderclaps, but even those are muted. Thank heavens I read lips as well as I do! That saved me today, and will in the days to come until I can get a new one!

RN: Wasn't that a good show last night, Vacanick? I watched intently. Oh My George. He was great. Still the King. And while I like Carrie Underwood....jeez, is there an award she hasn't won? And that Jason Aldean. Lordy. Yummy. I "dated" a guy who could have been his identical twin (minus the cowboy sex appeal and hotty voice). I was sorry not to see Tim McGraw or Gary Allan, but hey, that's alright. I was hoping George would have gotten entertainer of the year or Brad because Kenny already won it. But, he's toured a lot this year and his songs have done well. Rascall Flatts was not good last night IMO, BUT I LOVE MIRANDA LAMBERT. I love her song gunpowder and lead. I am buying that CD today. Josh Turner makes my knees a little weak.

Right now, all I wanted was for Brad to get male singer and he did so I was happy. It was a good show. I had no idea that Jamie Foxx had roomed with Gary LeVox from Rascal Flatts and boy did Jamie pull them out in that song. Gary was sounding awful!

RN I'm getting p***ed off at the fact that I'm trying to plan my our wedding without much input from the fine bridegroom. Seems that since we've decided on the when and where, the how is all up to me. He'd rather be playing GTA than looking at excel spreadsheets and calendars... maybe I'll tape the wedding plans to his PS2 controller... wonder if he'd get the hint then.

I had the same problem Karen, they figure we've dreamed about 'the big day' for so long and we are so thrilled to be planning it, they leave us alone to their great relief. Men! LOL.
