:type: Of course, it could have been genetic in nature with those siblings. But still, it just led to that question that I had to research on. :monkey:

Hmmmm...... I guess it was just the forbidden fruit thing and I was such a mischief. Of course, a mischief who was afraid of punishment. Growing up having my mischievous side suppressed is not my idea of how a kid should grow up. lol.

Oh, boy. What about speech to text technology?

Have you ever seen that movie, "Johnny Mnemonic?" I believe it was in the early '90's when that came out. Loved that movie. When I first saw that movie, the act of inserting a jack into his head reminded me of the cochlear implants, even though it's nothing like it at all. But, still...

When I was six years old I made up a word that happened to be a cuss word, and my parents tried to get me stop saying it. I would say it over and over. LOL. :giggle: It was such a weird paradox for me because all the adults were bending their backs to get me to learn how to speak. Of...

Has anyone has had any late manifestations of Congenital Rubella Syndrome? I was a Rubella baby and was born blind in my left eye and profoundly in both ears. I also was born with a serious heart defect that was corrected by open-heart surgery when I was 6 months old. Four years ago, I...

:dance::D I do experimental photography sometimes. It's one of my hobbies. I play around with my Nikon Coolpix camera and even photoshop it for effects. And it's cool. I would love to get a pro camera, but they are very pricey, so the Nikon Coolpix will do until I can afford a pro camera...

Yes, I've gotten the impression from the hearing people that I was not on the same level with them. I was painfully aware that I was different. I even felt different from my hearing impaired classmates because I couldn't understand what they were saying, either. And that's because my deafness...

I have no clue, but I did get my VCO/TTY for free from the state. I had to hunt through the phones lines to find them. It's so hidden under the red tape. I don't know about the other equipments.

Oh, thanks, Lissa! I'd love to stick around. :D

:twisted: Yeah! :rockon::party I'm having way too much fun using these emoticons. I love this one :devil: Hee hee. :rockon: :ily:

:nutkick: Omg, I have steel-toes in my shoes. I bought workboots for the durability to last for years. :laugh2:

:ty: Thank you so much, Robin! :D

I'm 38 years old. I had 1 1/2 years of college education, majoring in biology. I am a housewife. I have chronic depression. Of course, I have many hobbies, including "living" in AllDeaf.com. A lot of the technology that is available for the deaf is quite costly. Of course, I'm unable...

One thing that bothered me the most is being "forced" to be like the hearing people in life. "Forced" seems too strong of a word when it comes to being raised in the hearing world, but as children we had no choice in what our parents lead us into when it comes to education and communication...

Jenny, I read your "Journeys of a Deaf Girl" blog. It was an interesting read. The frustrations you've had are similar to mine. Oh, yes. I know the tension of being around hearing people, having to concentrate so hard to lip-read. And the feeling of inclusion when you're around deaf people...

Aw, Shel. I'm so sorry for whatever happened to you. I hope you're ok. :hug: This may be a year of transition where you're not sure what will come next or what you will do next. Instead of putting 2010 into doom, you can focus on the little things. Like enjoying being alive, being with...

No. It was just a lamentation. Sorry. :Oops:

If it's an alien like "Cloverfield," I'd nuke 'em. :rl: Or, hey, what if we created aliens through genetic experiments???? It happened in "The Mist." :rl: :scatter:

:iough::shrug::tears: All this technology and I have very few. Besides, they cost too much. I don't know much sign language, either. I have never had a cell phone, pager, or anything like that. All I have is my VCO/TTY phone, the Relay, and my laptop. I have a Palm Treo that I recieved...
