I have 3 to choose from, all Signia (Siemens) units. Pure 10, Pure 312, Pure 13 or Motion 13. The numbers are battery sizes and I'm only looking at over the ear...

Yes, we've put our house on the market! Now all we need is a buyer so we can get on the road in the van again.

A man went to the hospital for his colonoscopy. When he woke up, he asked the doctor if there had been anything unusual about the results. Nothing at all, said the doctor.

"Well", she replies, "My boss and I played the Lotto and we won, so I bought it with my share of the winnings." A week later, his wife comes home with a long shiny fur coat. "Where did you get that co...
