Well, my mom's jewellery box is repaired. Yay! me. It did need only 1 screw. A couple of pieces over lap which is when I looked at again it seemed to need another one. I made the trip to the local home hardware store with a screw from the box and found what I needed. New screw isn't slotted but it fits and works. So repair job done. 
Problem with hearing aides solved as well. Security system setting too high in the store that I went into where the arcade games are. So, I just have to remember the proper program for them when I am in a noisy environment.

Here is one for the weird file. Went to a local coffee place to get a cup of coffee this morning. Lady at the counter asked me if I was Korean. I said no then she asked me if I spoke Korean and again I said no. She apologized for her question and I told her not to worry about it as that has been happening since I was a child. But it is usually Chinese that I am mistaken for and the person asking the question is white.
Think that is the first time that I have had an Asian person ask me if I was Asian.
Now as I was born in Vancouver and we lived there until I was three years old, that question could have been asked when I was a baby. But then the person answering it would have been my mother.

Hooray! I have hearing aids too, but when I was working it was a really noisy environment, so I never put them in ... which means I never quite got used to them either. I think I need them to be readjusted to whatever further decrements in hearing I've acquired over the frequency bands they amplify.
But again - hooray !!!

Hey Signy,
The cooldown here doesn't start until tomorrow when it gets down to the 90-95 range, there's 4 days in the 80-85 range (oh blessed relief!) then 4 days in the 90-95 range; with crappy air quality to match the heat and sun.

Hey Jack
I'm glad you had a good time!

As for me, still noodling along. I met an elderly lady at the laundromat a couple of evenings ago (still haven't gotten my washing machine fixed). I offered to help her with any heave-ho she needed doing. Yeah, my back always hurts and I'm tired as shit, but I have enough spare oomph to help out with that. One of the reasons why she was in the laundromat so late - she came in after 9:30 PM - is because she has no AC at home, apparently not even in her bedroom - and the laundromat at least has a couple of pretty effective swamp coolers. I feel for her. I'm sure she's got at least a few old-age illnesses going on, and this heat has got to be a strain. But what can you do?

It is good to have that problem with my hearing aides solved.
Yours Kiki may even need to be upgraded. Mine were just around the time they were repaired. There is a program for the buzzing I get in my ears and the one for a noisy environment. To work either program I have a small remote for them.

It is heading for a rain where I am in the next couple of days. By Sunday or late tomorrow it should start.
