I hope she has similar CI moments to your subway journey, minus your unilateral one minute affair with the gay guy.Jennifer Bruno Condehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10424085171206339106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-204559418819418519.post-85987062526067363622008-07-30T18:24:00.000-04:002008-07-30T18:24:00.000-04:00What a coincidence!

My coworkers & I had a team-building event two days ago where we rode the Metro Green Line & a bus to California Science Center in downtown L.A. to view Body Worlds 3. It was the first time I ever rode the Metro subway and I heard "Next stop - Hawthorne Blvd." for the first time. My eyes widened and I was thrilled. I can relate, Abbie...<BR/><BR/>On another note, we got off at the "Harbor Freeway Transit" subway exit and waited for a bus. There were concrete overpasses above us and I commented that I would not want to be there during an earthquake. I had no idea that one would hit in 24 hours! <BR/><BR/>Lori (Loreene from HearingJourney.com)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-204559418819418519.post-89641790689703836452008-07-30T12:50:00.000-04:002008-07-30T12:50:00.000-04:00You were in the neighborhood and did not stop by t...You were in the neighborhood and did not stop by to say hi? Bad Bionic Woman! :)<BR/><BR/>Yes, they announce the stations and on most trains, they display them on a monitor. I am so used to the messages, that I rely entirely on them to know where I get off.

"He's gay." I remember a phrase: Men are like parking spaces. All the good ones are taken. <BR/><BR/>That was a long hassle with the insurance company. LTHF was only going to help me if it were an insurance exclusion, so I went with another source. Details later. <BR/><BR/>Wow. There were a lot of CI surgeries going on all over the place. It will be fun to share our journeys together.Sharihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14743533586969447238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-204559418819418519.post-67713938755038375582008-07-28T03:26:00.000-04:002008-07-28T03:26:00.000-04:00I love your many CI moments!

You are all my inspiration to quit whining and kiss the ground every morning for the little things and to breathe deep and drink long of this thing we call life.<BR/><BR/>PS - That scent of NY is one of my favorites, what can I say??!C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01605972471819914591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-204559418819418519.post-41175010429557858642008-07-27T11:13:00.000-04:002008-07-27T11:13:00.000-04:00"They always have" In our world it is new, raw and..."They always have" In our world it is new, raw and exciting. <BR/><BR/>The excitment of a CI moment is still strong even almost a year later. Not only does that give you independences, but it adds a special meaning to your world. <BR/><BR/>The first time I realized the elevator beeps at each floor and it beeps when it stops on the floor you are waiting on, it freed my mind to relax and just wait. I didn't have to use visual cues anymore. What a wonderful feeling.<BR/><BR/>I am so excited about our fellow CI buddies. May they recover quickly, hear beautiful sounds, and wow at CI moments.Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17026325968244954541noreply@blogger.com
