Yeesh ! The LOC uses the "captions on" which gives the dialogue on the screen much of the time, but I find that annoying. :) Clearly, I would rather just have the quiet.Marsha Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05880659808422182525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6624281955555099888.post-35692335036058204462015-08-15T19:02:41.851-07:002015-08-15T19:02:41.851-07:00Christine - Thank you so much.

We don't have music or TV on during the day. I find it hard to adjust to the loudness of the movie theatre these days and yet at home I find the TV hard to hear and I have to turn up the volume more than I should. TV's in restaurants is the pits. When we were in Tokyo, mobile phones weren't allowed to be used in the restaurant. I love listening to the sounds of the forest and especially the sound of waves rolling onto the beach.diane bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002292118984909883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6624281955555099888.post-19352507370814057112015-08-11T15:20:12.647-07:002015-08-11T15:20:12.647-07:00It's LOUDER.

I love to hear the ceiling fan or the heater come on. It's my white noise. <br />The other day we went out to eat (a rare occasion) and there was an older lady on her phone. <br />The phone was on "speaker" and she had it up to her ear! We all heard her whole conversation!<br />Thankfully it wasn't a long conversation.<br /><br />Again, I love the way you write and it's always a pleasure to read your posts.<br />Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09690722786561637489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6624281955555099888.post-34424447148256489062015-08-11T10:40:16.917-07:002015-08-11T10:40:16.917-07:00Let me tell you, life got a lot quieter when we mo...Let me tell you, life got a lot quieter when we moved to the mountains three years ago. Most of the time it's really nice. But, there are times when it's a little too quiet for my taste. Not the silence of the beautiful woods we live in, but in the solitude and isolation from other people. I suppose life should be a healthy mix of time with others and time alone.<br /><br />I find that my challenge is to hear God's voice when a thousand other thoughts strive to invade my *circle of quiet*...<br /><br />And that is a challenge no matter where I am!<br /><br />GOD BLESS!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840994989201507494noreply@blogger.com
