I charged up my old tablet and listened there. One of the last things said was you were on itunes, so i brought up MY music app, and there you were. So nice to hear your voices again.

Are the cat pictures somewhere to be seen? Indoor, or outdoor kitties? Can you tell i like cats?

They are outdoor kitties and they were a rescue. Unfortunately they brought ringworm with them and that was a problem but that has blown over and all is well now. We like our cats. I'll take some pictures sometime.

I am hearing impaired too but if I have my ear buds in and turn up the volume, I can hear them fine.

I once was going to ask for a cat forum, but it's hard to think of anything interesting to say about cats. Best i can come up with is ..... my cat has recently taken up sleeping on top the pile of carpet i had removed.
Rolling my eyes.

I'm glad you didn't ask for the cat forum, though. Smiling I don't like saying no. Smiling

I didn't realize you were deaf SnowElk. While my hearing is impaired, I am able to hear with ear buds. Dave has been asked if he can produce a text version of their podcasts but at this time, there is no way to do that. I'm so sorry.
