Ugh. My phone’s too old for the upgrade, but I use it to control my hearing aid via Bluetooth. I guess I will have to install the hearing aid app on my iPod Touch instead.

My oldest child will be 43 in April. Somehow, I don’t think I need to know.

Our rule: If you’re given food you don’t like (or think you won’t like) you must try one honest bite. You may not make faces or rude comments. If after trying one honest bite you decide you don’t like it, you are responsible for providing your own replacement meal.
