    My grandson had tubes and I don't recall that he wore ear plugs...but could well have. They eventually came out and he's had no problems since then (got them when he was maybe about 3).

    Hope that Kaleb's hearing will improve with the tubes, CEK. Glad that your furbabies are doing ok too. 

    My niece only had to wear them to swim or bathe

    The ear plugs, right? 

    yep

    There are...the "plastic" type one come out over time...the "metal" type are permanent and are usually used in older children (teens) and adults...or for children that have had several sets of tubes and they still have problems.  My daughter was going to have to get them after the 4th set she had if her problems had not gotten better.  

    what kind is Kaleb getting????

    I would think the plastic ones since he is only 5 1/2 and this is his first set.  But I don't think they have actually had that conversation with the doctor yet.  

    that sounds like a good guess...I hope it all goes well for him and they help

    my dog loves cats....lol.....when our older cat passed a few years ago he started chewing everything and did not like when we left even for an hour or so....the vet recommended we adopt another cat so we did and problem solved....lol....he's just a dog that needs a cat in his life...LOL

    LOL that is funny...the two dogs here are actually afraid of the Calico...they act big and tough until she charges at them....LOL

     
    That's how our dogs have been too. If a cat turned on them, they were like.....Ohhhh.....sorry.....didn't mean to bother you!!!"

    LOL....cats do have a way of swiping those paws that dogs don't like

    My daughter had a hole in her eardrum and had to have it patched.  She doesn't have trouble with water in them now but flying on an airplane is tough for her.  Chewing gum doesn't help her and the pain last a couple days after flying.
    She had ear infections from the time she was 10 months old until about 6 years old. 

    How do they patch an ear drum? or do they heal on their own?

    Well funny you should ask....they took a piece of skin from behind her ear and just laid it over the hole on her eardrum and it actually attaches itself by itself.  She had to go back weekly to have him look at it and make sure it was healing properly...she was such a trooper when he was all in her her pushing and making sure it was doing what it was suppose to.  That ear is her sensitive ear even today.

    that is so interesting Cek

    The dinners are going well and are attracting a lot of attention.  I promise to write a post about all that has happened.  In the meantime those of you who do Facebook.  We have an FB page, Beloved Community of DeKalb County, Illinois.  Activists from Chicago showed up on Sunday night.  The price of these going well is that all sorts of folks now want to partner.  Sometimes that means take over.  My younger son, the singer wants to do a video essay about BMI (Black Male Initiative), their realtionship with both police departments (university and city) and the fact that when the dinners are not near campus, the NIU police chief and his officers provide rides for these young me.  My son said, "This, I bet, is the only place in the nation that there is this kind of relationship between the police and young African American men."
     

    He is probably right.  You know, it would be nice if something like your community dinners hit the mainstream media, showing all of the "good" out there instead of all of the riots and such.  That being said, I kind of hope that your dinners/groups kind of stay small and connected.  When you get others involved, especially in a "take over" thing, you lose exactly what you were trying to accomplish in the first place.  Does this make sense?

    It absolutely makes sense.   But we also know that we need to shape the inevitable growth that is coming.  I have found, to my delight, that being almost 75 has been a plus.  But is also helps enormously that I threw my lot in with an African American church in 2001.  I am not viewed as an activist by other white people; but, to my utter surprise the white activists listen to me when I tell them that they are "barking up the wrong tree" with their top down initiatives.  If we want to build trust, it has to be grassroots or from the bottom up.  And when numbers drop you do not give up.  Now it is obvious hat if we did a major publicity campaign, we could be getting 250-300 people to our dinners.  So a small group of us is talking about how to pull this off while maintaining the wonderful vibe that permeates the dinners.  The conversations at the last two dinners have been particularly good.  
     

    I wish we had a KOS in every community. LOL  Seriously, what you and the others are doing is fantastic.  You are right about building up from the grassroots. You know, I think if people would just get together and talk (without being judgmental) but really listen to what others are saying and try to see it "from the other side".....just think what a better place this world would be. 

    Friendship is a priceless gift that can't be bought or sold, its value is far greater than a mountain made of gold.
    May this FriendSHIP always have wind in its sails and a sunrise on the horizon.
