Kind of O/T, but a few friends and I are looking for people who can sew custom outfits for 17" bears. Silly as it may seem - several of my friends and I are into the Duffy the Disney Bear and we like to dress them up. I will have the female version - Shellie May from Japan. If anyone on...

Wish we could all send you a hug! I am still hoping for you that it's not MS. Remember, MOST of us could start thinking we have something when you look at symptoms for a disease. No matter what your situation turns out to be - we are here for you.

Oh forgot to add - I have a Magic Bullet. I use that to make frozen drinks with Kaluha and half and half.

Tonight I am having a frozen Margarita. They sell pouches that are all mixed up - just throw into the freezer for 8 hours - and voila! I like the pre-mixed stuff - as try as hard as I might - I just can't seem to make a decent Margarita. So I usually buy the bottle of it all mixed. The...

On my car: Earth first. We can strip mine the other planets later.

Please don't panic! Which must be hard to do since you have to wait to see what "something on the MRI" might be....

How about: I am Deaf and I look great. All yelling does is make you look silly!

I had a GREAT time! I live fairly near Orlando so I do get some fun near there. (I'm a Disney fanatic...) The Silent Weekend was well worth it for me. I am in that place where the Fledgling class was a little too basic for me, yet I just didn't know enough to get enough out of the...

I'm leaving this morning for my first Silent Weekend event. This particular one is in Orlando. While I realize MOST of the participants will be interpreters rather than Deaf, the total immersion is something I am looking forward to. (and a little scared about too...) I ended up...

I looked it up for Florida and there IS a hearing test - but ONLY for a "Certified Drivers License" (CDL). I assume that is for a driver of a smaller commercial vehicle?

Many of the Starbucks encourage the Deaf Coffee meets. I go to one near me in Florida. It is EASY for new signers, or those who don't sign often to make rather BIG mistakes without knowing it. You did the right thing to correct him. I know once I signed what I thought was "work" and it was...

I belong to many forums on various subjects (Disney, Meniere's, cruising, etc.) It's pretty much the same on most forums. There are always far more members than than there are members who post. There always seems to be a smaller group that post often. And most forums do seem to slow down...

I read very fast, although certainly not 90 pages in a minute. I was taught speed reading in elementary school - think it was in the 3rd or 4th grade. I ended up being the top student in it. There are times when I wish I didn't read as fast! When I find a book I really enjoy I want it to...

That's great Doug! I wondered why I hadn't seen you much at all. Course I was missing for some of it - so I probably didn't see any posts about your surgery. Glad to hear things are coming along.:wave:

I want an Asus EEE Transformer tablet!

I just downloaded some free books from Amazon for my Kindle. Also got some samples for some historical novels in the Tudor era. Going on vacation and want to have a good supply of interesting things to read. Lets see - something by Tess Gerritsen (Freaks), Threads, The Reincarnation of Anne...

I am ambidextrous. I wrote with my right hand, although I could write very clearly with my left. At a chalkboard I'd drive my teachers nuts - as I'd write with whatever hand I happened to have the chalk in. I also write with two fingers and a thumb. After my CT surgery - I still use...

I just learned how to sign "congratulations" - so I am now using it towards you!!! Can't wait to see a photo. And ha ha - get sleep while you still can....

I had done a bit of research into my family tree. Hard to do as there was so much misinformation and name changes. For example, my father's family had a German surname. When his father came to this country it got shortened. However, the last name my father and his brothers use is different...

Slightly O/T but a very interesting movie I watched recently was, "Temple Grandin". She is an autistic woman who went to college. Her main area of expertise was making cattle yards and slaughterhouses more humane. (yes, the words "slaughterhouse" + "humane" together seem like an...
