FWIW, I've been known to put on my glasses when I can't hear something...
I don't know if you're kidding, but I actually do this. I have no idea if it helps, but it feels like it does.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I hope the vet finds you the solid form soon.
We're supposed to call on Monday. We're going to call today because, hey, you never know.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
SpaceX is going to try to launch their Falcon 9 rocket today. The count is currently holding at T-15 minutes.

The Falcon 9 is 9 times bigger than their other rocket. You know what that means? Nine times the explosion! (First flights of rockets generally have only a fair probability of success.)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm definitely better at understanding speech if I can see the person talking -- I'm really horrible at understanding things over the phone, or museum exhibits that have all the information on an audio track -- but that doesn't seem to carry over to other types of sounds.

Oh, when Obama decided that NASA should rely on rockets developed by private companies to get astronauts into orbit, the Falcon 9 is often cited as one possibility, as they're planning on building a manned space capsule for it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Okay, somebody has to know this - what time of day was Reagan's inaugural parade in 1981? I have a client who wants footage of him waving out of the top of the limo, and I don't want to pull all 8 hours of coverage. 1pmish?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
it is one of Trinny and Susannah's original WNTW rules for hourglass figures
As in a don't? That's a bit draconian. I just think you need to be sure of where.
Today I am wearing a denim skirt with heathered grey tights. Unfortunately my plan to popularise denim skirts does not seem to have spread like wildfire. I'm still the only woman I've seen in the company wearing them. But I'm pretty much the only woman in IT wearing skirts, so I'm not sure how much I could expect.
Still, ladies! Come on! Tights and boots! Rock it!

Because books.
I have three denim skirts, different lengths. I love them.
