One of the strange things about me, (shut up Paul) is that my hearing is better than my dogs. When I am in the office and someone calls up front, I can hear both sides of the conversation. I usually hear what is going on in the other offices and it drives my staff crazy. At the same time, I hate noise. One of the other attorneys in the building started to play music for background, and I had to stop him. He was upstairs but it still bothered me. Some times going deaf sounds like a blessing.

I can no longer hear well what is said in another room if I am running water or otherwise making noise closer to me. **************************************See AOL's top rated recipes (http://food.aol.com/top-rated-recipes?NCID=aoltop00030000000004) ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
