Brillant! You have made an awesome argument. I would call moderates, kingmakers. I thought I was there in beautiful background watching your comment!

How do we stopped this? War? Bombed the Dam? But you need electric to charge up your lap top! Mmmmm.

Just Hayduke it!

If my laptop dies,.. it dies.
So be it.

It's like accepting the fact that your ears no longer are receptive to the sounds that your aid processes.

Been there...
No place foreign...

aye, aye

Maybe Scuba Steve can dive into the lake and plant some detonators.

That's an idea...

Very well said took me a while to figure out some of the signs and i got the gist of it.

There is always a misunderstanding and it will take time for them to realise in a BIGGER picture.

Lovely backdrop keep up the work.

For the moderate people that I know often are in denial or they won't look themselves of why they still have the struggle trying to fit in the "hearing world". I used to be moderate person... I got sick and tired of feeling that struggle. And I got sick and tired of letting hearing people walking on me. No more!
