I have a pair of high end Costco hearing aids. Only wear them when I play cards, is that 4 spades or 4 aces, or go out to eat with friends.
So last Friday we go out to our usual restaurant but as we started in they said that we needed masks till we sit down to eat and drink. Back to the car and don a mask. I sat down and started to speak to one of our friends and then remembered the mask. I grab it and pull it off and quickly realize that one of my hearing aids stopped working. Reached back and its gone. Looked all around me and its nowhere to be seen.
One of my friends got up and walked about 6 feet behind me and picked it up. Of course the mask had grabbed the hearing aid and flung it 6 feet thru the air only to land on cement.
I would like to email Gov Abbott the bill for my hearing aid(s). Anybody got it????????????????
In my county, the police said they will not enforce it. Abbott is an complete idiot and coward.
Yeah, thanks for the lesson.
When youve been around for a while I will listen to you.
Plus, most states have suspended that law. Keep up. I know there is less air getting to your brain. But my guess is that there wasnt much to work with there.
And really...right to name calling. Had that ever worked for you? Of course, when you keep bumping up against people who actually graduated from high school you must be constantly frustrated.
I mostly get strange looks but only one person has tried to make a scene. I carry a 140DB self-defense security alarm and that shut Karen right up.

It is a multi-purpose tool with lots of fun uses.
The maturity around here is stunning. LOL.
I wanted to get one with the word "OBEY" (from the movie "They Live"), but Jesu, they wanted $11.95 for one. I took a big Sharpie on a cheapie white mask and wrote the same. Also wore this T-Shirt
as an accessory. Wore the shirt, but not the mask in WalMart and Smiths. Got a few looks but nothing else.
Your story sounds nearly identical to mine. I've lost a hearing aid several times, but luckily found it each time undamaged. Glasses make it much worse.
That said, I've found what is a big help. Our company gives out masks that have two sets of tie strings, upper and lower. I tie the top set with a bow, and leave it above the ears. I often leave the bottom ones just dangling on my back, or some times tie them with a single wrap around. None of the strings even touch the ears. It takes a bit longer to put them on compared with the ones with rubber bands around the ears, but a whole lot less time to take them off. The around the ear ear ones almost always get tangled in my hearing aids and glasses.
Clarification:
The Texas State Fair was cancelled by The Dallas State Fair Committee (whoever ‘they’ might be.) Gov. Abbott, don’t believe he was involved. MULTITUDES of unhappy folks are coming out of the woodwork over this insane idea. A great monetary loss for Dallas when one considers the dollars the Fair generates.
