What a great selection of Cheese cutting boards. I love the Grand Piano!

Wow. A block of great cheese and one of these unique graters would make a fantastic Christmas present! Thank you for sharing these.

Great list and video, the sum of your life or your personality mirrors the top five people you surround yourself with. I'm like Oprah, I carefully select who's on my team, in my life and that makes all the difference. Besides, negative people don't tend to like me as I'm habitually positive. :) It works for me. :) K

My two cents would be for you to gently brush her upper arm. It's a softer signal, and one that makes most people feel better, too. I think the hand signal is maybe too strong and shows more power, as if you can will the other to lower their voice and they will have to obey. Again, don't take my word for all this, but maybe talk to her about finding a gesture she'd be comfortable with.

Hey Mike, Just came back to review your vision articles and noted there is an image in the second paragraph or the one titled What U.S Veterans Benefits Include, that has a image that is not loading. :)

I think this would also make a great gift for the elderly who enjoy hot beverages and yet might be struggling with vision. I wear glasses and often steam up my glasses when I pour boiling tea from the tea pot. This makes the alarm cup useful for a wider range of folks than you may have suspected. It's such a cool and useful cup, it would make a great Christmas Gift. :)K

I'm enjoying learning what the average person, like myself, doesn't understand about the day to day lives and struggles of the visually impaired and blind. Now I feel comfortable addressing such people instead of avoiding them or trying not to stare. Very good public service information. Thanks :)K

I don't wear much jewelry, but what I have are treasured pieces that are a bit of an investment. I certainly want to take the best care of my jewelry I can. After reading your article I don't feel it's such a good idea to use the tooth brush method any longer. I'm going to get one of these ultra sonic cleaners. With two daughters, one who loves jewelry, I'll put this to good use. Thanks for the useful advice. :)K

We found out our daughter had SSD in her right ear when they tested her in kindergarten. Now she has tinnitus as well. She is now 26 years old and still has issues at her work place. She has explained to her fellow workers that she was born without her cochlea.

My daughter and I had a conversation the other day about her workplace. She was upset that her co-workers just don't get why she is so LOUD and that she can't tell how loud she is. They suggested she take ASL. Well, what good is that when they don't understand this language! I asked her if someone could use a signal such as to lower her voice with their hand. She said that infuriates her when they do this.

Does anybody have any ideas how to help my daughter with her loudness. I understand why she is loud but I don't want to offend her either with hand signals.

Mike, You make a good point. Many men wear baseball caps and other hats to hide their balding areas, not good for them because the friction and restriction to circulation the ball cap puts on their hair line adds to both hair loss and balding. You should share this with him ... Thanks for sharing.

sandyspider, I'm starting the new tradition this year. Since both of my girls are now teenagers it drives them crazy.... But I know deep down, under that teenager undercover act, they love it too. Enjoy your ugly Christmas sweaters and when you run low you know where to go, here! :)

I do, I just purchased a new pair of prescription Ray Ban's when I went in to have my eyes checked. I got a new pair of glasses and a new pair of sun glasses. I got a really nice pair that matches my hair color and with polarized lenses no less. Once you go Ray Ban you'll never be happy with another pair of sunglasses. Now I just have to keep up with them, had just lost my other sunglasses I had just bought this summer. :)K

belinda342, Glad to clear the term Hipster up for you.

It looks good from where I'm sitting. What isn't making you happy with it? I'm assuming the unhappiness from the fact that you want to make another one. :)

Awww! Thank you very much. Coming from you, with all of your experience here, that's a lot. <3
