Today's Peeve Of The Day, Monday 10th February. (house, cell phone, places)

[Jezer]

Good morning peevers.

How are things where you are my dear peevers?

I'm waiting on a tradesman today to sort out our TV aerial that got blown over in the recent high winds.

I hope that I hear the doorbell, and in the last year I've got a new wireless one with two portable speakers. One is next to me in the study and one is in the kitchen, though I can take either one with me wherever I go, inside or out- very useful.

Then there are other bleepers around the house, such as the timer on the oven. I tend to pick it up from most rooms downstairs, but again I have a portable timer so I don't ruin my gourmet food.

Do you have trouble hearing a doorbell, or an alarm that you have set round the house or elsewhere?

Tell us about it because the POTD is;

Damn- I didn't hear that!

Here with some old shots of one of my favourite places, not just in Texas, but in the whole of the US. It's Big Bend NP;

Wow great photos. You sure are a seasoned traveler in the USA. You have photos of places I have never been and I used to travel thousands and thousands of miles and places with my job.

I know there are things I wish I didn't hear! LOL

There's a commercial that shows a couple watching TV, and the husband is turning it up very loud so he can hear, and the wife covers her ears. That's my house.

I have super hearing capabilities, and the hubby doesn't. So consequently, I tend to turn things down, whether it be the phone ringer, TV, etc. I have heard things that he cannot believe. Once I was in another room and he was sneaking some extra salt onto a snack. I heard the salt hitting the metal top of the shaker, so I hollered out to him, "Honey, I heard that." He played dumb until I told him what it was, then he just stared at me like I was some sort of alien from Mars.
But yes, my hearing drives me a little bit nuts most of the time. So Jez, I guess my problem is the opposite of today's Peeve.

Too funny

Ha! That's great!


I usually can hear the door - it's my cell phone that I leave in odd places that I miss.

It's usually Mrs Aks that I don't hear for one reason or another........

Sounds like you've found a great solution to enable you to hear the bell, Jezer!

And, awesome Texas photos, you really do have a great collection, thanks for sharing!

Yep, it's the old selective hearing for me too. Blame it on a dead battery in the hearing aid or just mute it.
