I hear you SBirn. Backing up is soooo important...in fact having more than two backups is highly recommended. A combination of regularly timed backups to an external drive and using time machine to its fullest capabilities is one method. The second method is by cloning the entire drive including...

Have you ever considered cloning your entire disk to an external hd?

Kentucky School for the Deaf staffer relishes his role as an encourager - The Advocate Messenger: Boyle

Would this help you? http://www.alldeaf.com/our-world-our-culture/83923-misdiagnosis-deaf.html As for me, I was also misdiagnosed back in the 60s. Autistic, retarded or both. Yeah i know it's not politically correct nowadays to say 'retarded' but it was the label given to me back then. My...

Isn't grade 5 elementary school? Grades K-6 = elementary Grades 7-8 = jr high Grades 9-12 = high school

Wow! WTF!! :jaw: Is this part of the curriculum now?? In elementary schools?? Ok... From that little excerpt, I have gotten the impression that Maniac had no 'schooling' from his elders/past environments to learn to blindly follow the norm of 'racial lines and bigotry' in his new community. I...

Thanks botts! That's good to hear that too!

Good to hear that!

First of all I would like to congratulate you. You have a rewarding and interesting job that many people would love to have. Kudos to you sir. Have you heard of this expression, the 'perfect storm'? I think you are very lucky sir. You were born with mild loss in one ear and perhaps moderate...

Ugh...

Right, speaking is a tool. BUT.... for us it never becomes natural, no matter how much training and practice we undergo. Speaking for us never becomes a well oiled muscle that can be used unconsciously. You're right a bike does become 2nd nature. Our legs just pump along..we don't have to think...

You do have a good point there. Us dhh are capable of using our voice boxes, no problem there. We can shout, grunt, squeal, guffaw, burp with no problem. That's natural. Speech for us however is not natural. It doesn't come to us unconsciously. For many of us speaking/oral is not enough. Many of...

Hi deafdyke! Wow! Ok... I'm gonna just type along, trying to put my thoughts together to answer your though provoking questions. I don't know where I'm going so please forgive me if I end up rambling! :lol: Yes, definitely, dhh programs would be of great assistance in developing our EQs. I...

That's a good question. As you mentioned you're an introvert just as I am. I believe that high school did this to me. I was an extrovert before I was mainstreamed. I had lots of friends. In high school? Maybe a couple that I would call friends. Anyhow to answer your question as to how I feel...

I was in the deaf school system during the first several years until I was 100% mainstreamed starting in grade 9 in a hearing high school. Due to lack of ASL exposure, I lost most of it. Long story short my parents kept me away from my deaf/HoH friends. My parents decided it. I'm mostly oral...

I too am severe to profound in one ear and 100% deaf in the other. I was a product of both deaf school and mainstreamed. Today I'm oral with a spattering of rusty ASL. As you know, being oral in a hearing world is not easy and it sure can feel terribly isolating at times. Sylbea... I...

'How important is Deaf culture to me and why? That's a good question. How important is it to me?? Admittedly I had not been a member of one in decades. Why? Life had gotten in the way. Simple as that. Mainstreaming in high school had essentially severed my ties to the deaf school and the Deaf...

Hi! I don't know how else to word this other just coming right out with the following in a blunt manner. No matter which system you choose, your son will always hear sounds coming out of his good ear. It doesn't matter if it's Cros or especially BAHA. Additionally there are other...

I would assume that you had plugged in the 3.5mm stereo plug to the audio IN? Apparently on many tvs the speakers will switch off for the other listeners. Did you get a Scart adapter in your kit? User guide -...

I just learned that "worcestershire" sauce is pronounced as "wooster"!
