Chit Chat and All That...

You think if I hit my head hard enough and give myself amnesia I'll also forget my tinnitus?

Like a hard reset...

So what's the scariest Halloween costume this year? The classical "IRS inspector"? Jay Powell?

Is there an "electricity bill" costume this year?

It has to be Christine "bankrupting the Eurozone since 2019" Lagarde haha... yes, I had to bring her up haha

She looks like a witch:

If that's the trick, please let us know!

If it wasn't for tinnitus, or hyperacusis, or anxiety, I would love to visit NYC.

This is what I'm talking about @ZFire. Absolutely love this.

Anyway, as others have pointed out, we're now in the other month, and that's where the real nightmare begins.

Sitting here, can't take off my ear defenders to eat my crab ravioli because of the explosions (that's right, @Damocles makes crab ravioli).

Guess I'll just forget about eating anything this month. Thank you, UK Fireworks Regulations.

Oh, relax.

What's happening tonight is just the foreplay.

Just wait for a couple of weeks and Mariah Carey will start raping your ears.

Btw, those ravioli are looking good. Very Halloween ish. Too bad you can't eat them.

 

[tpj]

@Damocles, your ravioli does look very good.

 

[Damocles]

lol, they do that over there too?

And here I thought it was just the English speaking countries that played that song on repeat for a minimum of 600 hours every December.

To be fair, at least Mariah Carey doesn't explode intermittently outside my window and in the street as I'm walking along it for a whole month at 175 dB.

The lack of heavy regulations for fireworks baffles me too. It's not just the noise threat which is the obviously the primary issue. They're also dangerous to use and can result in death. They also pollute the atmosphere with nasty toxins, harming the environment and people too.

To you and others in the UK (and elsewhere too), stay safe out. Fireworks are BS.

It seems no one is spared endless repeats of that song. Don't we suffer enough?

 

[aura]

Yeah, they look as if they died for our sins

 

[tpj]

Bloody hell @aura, you're on fire, lol.

 

[Elmer B Fuddled]

We live far enough away where there are no loud bangers going off. One neighbour tried to fire some off a couple years back, his little dog and the next door neighbour's dog both were gone for 26 hours. No more bangers.

Every.Fucking.Year.

Unfortunately no.

Idk about that. It sounds pretty explosive to me...
Muffs on please. It's a wild ride.

 

[Damocles]

That's right @aura, they died for our sal(i)vation.

It had never occurred to me why my dog hid in my closet specifically during 4th of July - I realized it was farthest away from the backyard when we were setting off fireworks to celebrate. I feel so horrible for him since dogs have much more sensitive hearing, birds too but they can at least regenerate their hair cells. Still would be hell for them too. Never again will I touch a firecracker, nor dog whistles.

I often think about @Steph1710 and wonder where she is. I truly hope everything is ok with her and that she posts again soon.

Sadly enough, the most painful goodbyes are the ones that are left unsaid and never explained.

I'm just fooling around and teasing with ya lol.

But you have to admit, the thought of Tinnitus Talk members hooking up with each other in real life and losing their minds together on an intimate level sounds sooooo romantic to me. Hey, maybe we can ask @Jerad to use those elite writing skills of his to write us a romantic novel. I bet it could rival the book, Pride and Prejudice. I'd pay top dollars for that.

Speaking of true love, where is our lovely @Steph1710?

I've been wondering about this too. She did mention she was traveling to Peru. She's also apart of the van life culture. She could be constantly on the move, camping, and seeing the sights. She might not have the time to frequent Tinnitus Talk or maybe access to WiFi is limited. Or maybe she just wants to take a big break from the site which is perfectly fine too.

 

[tpj]

You are a sweetheart @ZFire. Btw, when you talk about losing their minds together on an intimate level, do you mean being crazy with love, passion and lust? Or do you mean our tinnitus is so fucking bad, we can be driven crazy together, possibly while having sex?
