Taking my grandkids whale watching

Guest post written by Anthony Wall

I love the summers not only because the weather is mostly nice, but also because that's the time when I get to spend a whole lot of time with my grandkids. They come and visit me for months at a time then and I spend a lot of time planning exactly what we're going to do while they're here. Well, this summer I knew that they wanted to go whale watching so I planned that for us to do.

While I was online several weeks ago planning our whale watching, I ran across the website http://hearingaids.miracle-ear.com/hearing-locations/pennsylvania/k/kissimmee/. After I looked through it a little bit I decided to sign up for a hearing aid test and ended up getting some before my grandkids got here.

We had a whole lot fun doing our whale watching, we even saw three of them! But I wish that I had thought about putting on sunscreen before we went out there! We all got sunburned a bit, so I'm really glad that my bald spot was covered up with my baseball cap!

Reffing from the stands

Guest post written by Chastity Waller

I'm so used to my husband taunting the refs from the stands that I just completely block it out when we go to football games. We both went to college together - that's where we actually met - so we're both pretty passionate about our alma mater's football program. We have season tickets and live and breath with the team.

Sometimes I worry about the people around us getting upset or bothered by him acting like that but truth be told a lot of them actually act that way too. At the last game we went to there were a lot of calls against our team and we ended up losing in the end, which my husband blamed on all of those calls. It was after one of these calls that I wasn't understanding what they sai the call was for and I asked my husband and I think he was annoyed because he had to explain it to me instead of expressing his anger through yelling.

When we got home that night I looked up Hearing Aids costs and decided to buy some. It's too bad that I can't drown out my husband while hearing what's going on in the game.

Browsing for Music

Guest post written by Rudy Gordon

I miss the good old days when it was hard to get any listening time in at the record listening stations at music stores. Now it's not that hard to get a turn at the headphones. But a couple of local independent record stores still keep new CDs on rotation at listening stations that I love to listen to while I'm browsing for music.

I'm friends with one of the record shop owners just from coming in so often over the years. I also work at a local music venue that helps set up a lot of in-store artists sets of bands that come to play at the venue. I went in a few weeks ago the day that the new Arcade Fire CD came out to buy it and we ended up having a long talk there. He had some extra help that day - and he definitely needed it because a lot of people came in to buy that CD - so we talked about the usual stuff, music, our families and what not.

I also told him that I was considering booking an appointment at the local miracle ear because I noticed that I was having a hard time hearing like I used to. He told me that he had done the same a thing a while back and he thought that it was probably from listening to loud music on headphones and going to a bunch of concerts over the years.

I have to say that I definitely think we're in the same boat on that situation, but I'm not going to let that keep me from enjoying my music.

So Many Things To Do!

Thanks to Daniel Griffin for the guest post.

The Internet is not just for young people any longer, senior citizens are learning how to use it and they are starting to use the Internet almost everyday, they are finding that it is a much-needed thing in order to function in today's computer oriented society. They are also finding out that there is a lot more to using the computer then to search for the latest model of invisible hearing aids.

A senior citizen who enjoys traveling and going to the different casinos all around the country, may find that once they reach a certain age it is not necessarily convenient for them to venture out to the different locations even with a miracle ear hearing aid. They may find that traveling gets harder for them as they get older. One good thing about utilizing the Internet is that they can actually play some of the casino type games online. The good thing about the casino games is that they can even win money.

A senior citizen that is a widow may find that they will benefit from signing up for a senior citizens dating website. A senior citizens dating website is one of the newest things to hit the Internet dating. It will serve as a great opportunity for senior citizen to be able to meet someone who has similar interests. They will just need to know how to sign on to the Internet and do a search for senior citizen dating sites.

Another good use for senior citizens to use the internet is to transfer money from their checking account into the checking account of a loved one. A lot of time Senior citizens want to ensure that their grandchildren have the money that they need; online banking will allow them to easily conduct the transfers.
