Never had a Beltone.. I think. I know there were a few other "brands" through my years but mostly Oticon, 1 pair of Phonak and 1 pair of Widex. Back to Oticon. Widex and Oticons were the two best for me. I just wish they'd stop making them so ridiculously small....

All good advice above. The weight gain or loss (even very tiny amounts) affects the ears. I've had that happen with me. It depends on where the irritation/sore is. Last pair were fine but then I kept getting sores in the top part of the outer ear (I'm not technical sorry)... seems that for...

Harkening back to the comment of coffee and addiction... I once had a client who was... in her 20s/30s? I don't remember anymore) who was actually addicted to coffee. She could finish off an entire pot in the AM.. wander down to the cafeteria and either buy coffee with her money, beg others to...

You're right deafblindness isn't "that severe" on its own... But there is a difference.. I am guessing you were born with your deafness & blindness? Correct me if I'm wrong as I don't recall and I'll go look through older posts of yours. With the twins blindness I don't think was a major...

Going by memory but I do believe there were efforts to get people evacuated who didn't have cars or other ways to leave. I heard that school buses were used to do that as well as schools in the CMS district were closed to have them ready as emergency shelters for the evacuees. Although the...

Thank you! It went very well... I was pleased with it... a lot less pressure/stress doing it by online chat means! The interviewer actually said the same thing!. We'll see what happens this week. Florence is long gone now but some areas are still dealing with flood water- especially out on...

Good point. Look into exercise that doesn't require a whole lot of balance... maybe swimming or water aerobics. Start from sitting positions in some exercises too.

I'd rather see ZERO ads... Prescription ads came along not long after cigarette ads were banned or stopped being promoted. All ads are (for anything) is a disguised way of subtly convincing to spend money or do something without bothering to do research. What I would rather see is that MONEY...

A thousand times this! If I ran around calling some part of my body "Broken" then it just makes me feel less-than... and makes other look at me differently- "oh they're not perfect... they're not like us" (Oh hell they do that anyway). It's not broken to me because it's all I know. It's a PART...

Yeew... I don't know how popular something like that would be... I wouldn't do it... partly because I hate the... ok dislike?... the dentist but also I'd be worrying about BREAKING it while I'm eating! I tried to view the story but got this with the WJBD header at the top. Whoops! Page Not...

If you have worked previously- also look into SSDI. I've learned a LOT about SSI and SSDI over the last couple of years...

No.. it's still freaking HOT here! Downside of the south- gotta wait til maybe December or January for a fire. Hmm. so many. I'm still learning. To the Wild n Crazy Person below me.... If you were President of your own country (no matter size) what mode of transportation would you...

Aww I'm so sorry Reba :(. Hugs. Friends of mine lost their first dog at I think 4, sudden cardiac arrest- I don't know if they ever found a reason but do now wonder if it was due to the same- using Bravecto (I'd never heard of it).

LOL. It just has an odd taste for me I guess... too salty? IF it's done right maybe.. But bacon anything baco-bits etc... noooo . Hehehe.. Hmmm I'll never tell! Yes I have- I think twice in my life time. Both for jobs. TP... aw you know what I mean... Ahem Have you ever had anything taken...

I haven't used a TTY (TDD) in decades so don't know for sure. I would think the same rates would apply as it does for a voice call. It may or may not cost a little more since tty calls take longer sometimes. That's assuming for a landline. For cellphones- there's no charge if you have an...

Once in a great while you may get lucky and find a blog where the user signs and remembered to add captions (or a transcript) to the vlog/video. His vlog was pretty easy to understand (signing since 18 but I don't get out to deaf events etc as much anymore so a little slow/rusty)... Yep he's...

Denver or Western Omelet minus any bacon. Or I like to create my own. Cheese (lots), mushrooms (lots), green pepper, onion. I add tomatoes too sometimes if it's offered. TAPBM (the awesome person below me): How do you like your eggs?

As far as eugenics go.... I think that was a rather um... "popular" movement to get behind in her time period and likely was not necessarily looked down on or considered "horrible" like it is today. I wouldn't chew out other people for pointing it out but I'm not going to base everything on...

Yep added my volunteer work in there... in the "Experience" (formerly "Work Experience" section for now. Included the 1 week immersion experience I did beginning of August as it does relate to IT & Web Development. I'm going back through old assignments to redo some lol (and to push to...

I agree.. don't put much stock in to it. Worse that can happen is... "Are you from Boston?" (In New York when I was transferring a client of mine to a new group home, one of the staff asked me that). "uh... no.. I've never BEEN to Boston... I'm from Pennsylvania!" Another old internet...
