Totally there with you Buddy, smiling and nodding is the daily routine, normally ok if I'm right in front of someone but too much background noise and I'm floundering! sometimes it's funny but most of the time it's frustrating. Great video.
Hi Mr Deeds! Haha I love the ending! I enjoyed your take on the Top Ten List that’s better because it goes to eleven. I have so many memories from childhood of some lengthy meandering train-of-consciousness musings I’d make using my own admittedly peculiar and precocious vernacular. After being allowed the luxury of whatever diatribe I’d chosen for that day, my dad’s response was frequently the same six words: “I’m sorry, did you say something?” Anyway my take on ‘filling in the blanks’ for missed bits of conversation: If the person speaking is inclined not to give you the courtesy of honoring your request for a repeat, that person is not worth listening to. Just my humble opinion. Sending positive vibes your way! Thanks for the upload. (I will sit and type out my soon-to-be world famous mac & cheese recipe in the appropriate place so as not to screw up the old Al Gore Rhythm.)
When I'm in a situation where I can't hear I'll point to my ears and say "Too many rock concerts. I can't hear worth a darn." This usually gets a laugh and it breaks any tension. It turns those first impressions from a prissy old biddy to a cool hippie chick. Just between you, me and the world it wasn't rock concerts. It was headphones with the volume turned up 'way too much.
I am right there with you. Worst part on my end is, Get My attention before you start talking. Another is in a car with more than 2 people, sometimes all I hear is the road noise, I know they are talking, just can't make them out.

Thank you, my friend.

What an excellent technique! I may have to borrow that, if you don't mind.
@@PaulDeeds33 That would be cool, if you can find the time. Now I have Harry Chapin songs in my head... LOL! Have a great day

@tomcaley98 Yup, cars are bad. Part of the reason I never play the radio, unless I'm alone. ✌️✌️
I have the same problem. Concerning your last question, count me in two for two.
@@ralphweeks7209 WHEW! I was hoping I wasn't alone there. 😁
