I just joined thanks to the invite from YIZ. Still learning how to use it and find friends. What I think I will love though - is the ability to control who sees what posts I make. Some of my friends on FB probably could care less about what I post and vice versa - mostly because we only...

I have not had any issues at all. I've found those that I've met at the Deaf socials have been kind and helpful. And it's not that they were unkind at the last one - it was just that so many were there and it was a lively group. This is just an incentive to me to really work at learning...

Thanks! I also know my life has changed drastically as I used to work full time, but when Meniere's hit me like a sledgehammer, I kept having to take leaves. Finally had surgery and I'm on disability now. I'm hoping someday to work again, even if part-time as it means getting out more...

Counseling is usually never a bad idea. My point though - is it's difficult to interact with hearing people when you can't hear them to communicate, and it's difficult to interact with deaf people when you don't sign well enough. It's the being left out either way. Go with a group and you sit...

This is just a bit of a whine. I think it helps once in a while to get things out of one's system. I am a late-deafened/HOH adult. What I am feeling sad about is that void that exists: I don't quite fit into the hearing world, and I don't quite fit into the Deaf world. What I'm...

Oh LadySolitary, I can so relate to the crap you are going through with doctors.... When "we" didn't know what was wrong with me it drove me nuts. Sometimes, even after a bad episode it'd be like, "oh, we'll see you in a month". Or other times, we need to see you as soon as possible - and...

Please do - we'll be thinking of you and wishing you well!

There are no words that really can comfort...but I'll try anyway. I'm sorry that you are going through this pain.

Hmmm, should I ever date again - I hope I would date solely because I had interest in the guy as a person - and not whether he was deaf or hearing. Okay, so it's impossible not to notice...but what I am saying is that I would hope my decision to date or not date someone didn't rest on...

I was married many, many years ago. His mother came from the generation (and social standing) that women stayed home and took care of house, husband and children. My ex-husband couldn't even boil water! I made SURE my son could cook, clean, and take care of himself totally. I think I...

Sadly not a surprise. Another member of the 27 Club.... I don't mean that sarcastically or as a snarky comment. I wish drugs and alcohol abuse didn't exist to the strong extent it does in the music and entertainment industry. Not great role models for generations to emulate.

Hmmm, I started turning gray at age 16. I "help" my hair be the glorious auburn it is. Just before my VNS surgery, I'd let my roots grow a bit. I then had my hair cut REALLY short - Jaime Lee Curtis style - as I was going to have a portion of the back of my head shaved anyway. I almost...

Spinal taps - yuk! I was afraid I was going to have to have one. During my last major Meniere's attack, I went to the hospital. (big mistake). After treating me like I'm not really sick - they finally decided to do a cat scan. Because I had the VNS surgery, which is basically brain...

Happy Birthday Kristina!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well at least it sounds like incomplete news is not totally bad news. What I feel bad for, is that you spent so much time being scared of the results and the possibility of something like MS. I have a frozen margarita in my freezer. I'll toast you tonight when I have it. Hang in there.

I'm looking forward to the next episodes. Hope they go ahead and renew this series. And I promise to zip my lips about happenings on any episodes!

Sorry about that!

SPOILER ALERT!!! DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE SHOW!!!!!!!!!!! Daphne got the guitar case open. Interestingly the code for the lock was: BAY. (or the numbers). Inside she found photos of Bay. Bay's biological mother has known for years about the switch...

We'll all be pulling for you to have a positive visit tomorrow, while getting some answers and real help.

Ah, Planet of the Apes! I read a joke recently - either here or on FB that said: Quick, everyone put on ape suits for when the space shuttle comes back...
