   That would be tragic. Why not just let her know that she's feeling somewhat   
   disoriented because she's spent so much time in the Sewer with the Low Life   
   Losers and now that she's out of it, it's not a familiar feeling right now,   
   yet...BUT IT WILL BE if she just sticks it out and takes the right attitude   
   because if she does, she'll learn to recognize that she'll never want to go   
   back to that Sewer...ever again!

   Nothing wrong with being pig headed, but pigs are intelligent creatures, and   
   the choice to go deaf while making as many others as possible also go deaf   
   in the process is anything but intelligent, or even considerate, but rather   
   downright Stupid and Hostile!   
   And there are more worthy ways to get attention than that!!!

   Hopefully it'll never come to that but if it does, perhaps then she *might*   
   possibly get to see reality a bit more clearly.   
   Maybe she's been playing enough gigs now where the levels are more sensible   
   and safer so that should she ever get back with the Losers, of hearing and   
   gigs, that they'll now be too loud for her ;)
