OMG, do not ever, ever, ever, EVER let a man that cannot hear well, and will not wear hearing aids, talk to a new neighbor, especially if you are there, unless you don't mind being both embarrassed and so damn tickled you can't stand erect.
We are outside discussing whether or not the SH needs to mow the yard, the older man and his wife that have moved into the next block down are out for a walk, they stop and introduce themselves.
I am assuming that they may also have a little hearing issue because they tend to interrupt each other, not a lot, but you just notice it a little.
They have always lived a few miles out in the country, but moved into town because they are getting older and their children want them a little closer to stores and doctors, etc.
They invite us to their church, the SH asks them where they go to church, they are stumbling over each others conversation and what he hears is they to an aholiness church.
The SH says, an ahole church? Man, my wife calls me an Ahole sometimes, but I didn't know there was a church for it.
