I've been so out of it lately that I haven't given the much deserved Kudos to Breakfast Squid for the Lizard Soda-jerk picture. The challenge is still open if anyone else wants to try.
I actually got some sleep Saturday, the earplugs really helped, so I'm not as tired as I have been. That means I can start to think about my projects again, but I still can't put too much into them yet because the roof hasn't been finished yet. I'll get back on track eventually.
If anyone cares, the title this week is part of the opening line from Hotel California by the Eagles.

It's a matter of needing to, not wanting to, wear them. Since I live a stone's throw away from a hospital in the middle of town, it does get kind of noisey now and then with the choppers coming in, but it's not an everyday thing. When I'm really tired, I get hypersensitive to sound (I can have my TV volume near 0 and still hear it like it's too loud sometimes) and sometimes I require some assistance to mute the sounds that are keeping me awake. Since part of the roof to be fixed is right over my bedroom, the earplugs are going to be a necessity for me.
You have a good week too.

They're in the Pharmacy section of mass merchandisers, and check the packages. On the back somewhere usually, or the front sometimes, you'll see a number anywhere from 22-33, that's going to be your deciBell rating. The highest rating that I've ever seen is 33dB, that's how much sound they block out. With them in, you can hear loud stuff still, but it's not as loud, and much easier to work with. I use ear plugs when I'm running a vacuum cleaner and other loud tools as well (I don't use a gas lawn mower so no need for them there).
I hope they get the work done soon too, I camp out downstairs during the day to reduce my exposure to the noise and it's getting to be tedious.

That's wonderful, actually I should link it in my TokyoPop account too, and think about getting it onto my personal website as well. I didn't write the article to be specific to MyO, so that's great that people are linking it offsite.
I'll certainly read that when it gets posted, I do hope no one got hurt.

Actually I did for once. Earplugs are a wonderful invention.

They say great minds think alike, I guess you and Yensid are great minds that way. I wear a lot of dragons, that should help with the luck I need.
Earplugs certainly are great to have. I use them for every high volume application I'm going to be thrust into, they are ear savers as well as noise reducers for those times when you want to concentrate on other things.
