  1. Yep. They will all have to learn to drive a stick. My dad made me learn, and I have been grateful for this. We have a 24 year old Nissan that we keep for running around town and teaching the dc to drive a stick. Really! We keep it for that reason.

     

    However.....our oldest dd still does not know how to drive a stick. She and her dad would come to screaming matches when he tried to teach her. She did fine with me, but she gave up because she just couldn't take driving it with her dad. :tongue_smilie:

     

    Hmmm. You know, a nice, very used small car could come in handy for teaching your group of fellows.....and it would be fun for you to drive when you can go off by yourself for a while!

  2. You have received some very good advice. I am in the same exact boat as you are....I was once listed as the executor, then was bumped off and the responsibility given to a stepsister who has been known for her lying, meddling, etc. I have decided that I don't need anything but my memories of my dad. Anything else I happen to receive is only icing on the cake. Like Amy, I have seen way too many ugly battles over who gets what.

     

    It really could be a big blessing to you. Like you said, you can enjoy being with him now! :001_smile:

  3. I have lived with this since I was 10. Mine has gone along with a gradual loss of hearing, which has progressed to the point of my needing hearing aids. At 3-4K for digital ones, that just isn't going to happen anytime soon.

    (Hey, but maybe next year!) :001_smile:

     

    My ENT has told me to lay off caffeine, reduce stress (ha, ha), sugar, sodium, etc. The ringing is worse when I am in a room with fluorescent lights that "hum". My ds, an IE major, said that they studied this in one of his classes, and I am not imagining things! The "hum" does affect my hearing.

    So Jean, stay away from those humming fluorescent lights! ;)

     

    Honestly, I have learned to ignore the ringing for the most part. It does help to listen to some soft music when I cannot ignore it! I also try to get busy doing something physical, like playing my cello or quilting. I guess I am combating noise with noise.

     

    I definitely know what you are dealing with, and I will be praying for a quick end to this maddening thorn in the flesh!

     

    Blessings,
