I envisioned it as something of a movie caper - the evening had been long and full of shenanigans, and now in the light of day **pilot** needed to retrace his steps in order to remember just what spot he had rambled off to next 😆

It’s even made it all the way to Oklahoma! My beer drinking friends rejoiced much.  
Also, good news on the grant! Fingers crossed for your job.

What brand?? I love chicken and dumplings but too much work to make from scratch, so if there’s a passable frozen option I’m all in.

Good luck, and let us know how you’re doing after!

There’s a handy list [here](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-mmp-faq/599358). Otherwise, I find **Metal Mouse’s** posts handy because he responds to just about everyone’s posts and he uses the nicknames, so it helps me remember who’s who.

An older family member of mine was quite resistant to the idea of hearing aids until the audiologist said using hearing aids can slow down future hearing loss - something about keeping ear hairs stimulated? Hopefully someone smarter than me will be along shortly to fact check me and explain better lol
