DH got a decent annual raise and a pretty generous bonus today.
Please don't feel guilty. It's just great to see good news.
I can't hear conversation over background noise, which just adds to my general antisocialness. I just smile and nod.
You want to meet the real me now?

Not only do I hear the teenager sound, I remember hearing it as a teenager, being bugged, and getting annoyed that no one knew what I was talking about. (We lived in thin-walled apartments. Heaven only knows the source.)

Tinnitus? I've had it for years. My ears always ring. I thought it was getting in the way of my hearing, but I had it tested and I was okay.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
