    Wow! Been a long time! I joined here in 2006

    Reading your response of resilience and persevering during a difficult with grace made me smile. You're right, the pandemic wasn't/hasn't been easy on all of us but I'm glad the school stepped up to help you teach so many. Teachers and Nurses are the salt of the earth, in my opinion. Thank you...

    How to become an ASL Interpreter

    Each states DOES have their own requirements; although there is nationwide accreditation. It is an expensive test so mastery is needed. Some states want a degree, some if you can pass the tests-cool. Some will hire you and give you time to get certified. What you do with it is up to you...

    Who can accept long distance relationship?

    I have done long distance and didn't mind it. I'm independent and have good communication skills. It doesn't bother me much and people can stay faithful. Also, each couple can decide what that means to them. Can't say it always worked but it's not all bad. I am currently doing a sort of hybrid...

    Looking for hope.

    I personally do not live with tinnitus. My partner does and it's a struggle for him at times. He finds ear buds helpful or some sort of white noise. Sleep or lack of seems to impact how loud it can be in a day, at least for him. I imagine a lot of nice folks on here could give you tips and...

Has anyone on here taken any of those products? I've been told ear buds distract from those sounds but I don't have...

    tattooed terps

    Tattoos are NOT slovenly. They are self expression and healing for a lot of people. A person can have tattoos that can be covered up or not, their body, their choice. Who is anyone else to judge? We don't know their journeys. One terp that doesn't like tattoos is certainly not entitled to label...

    How Often Do You Go To Gym?

    We sound similar. I live way out in the country. I walk about an hour and use a plank app. There is an app that makes Plank work outs starting at Beginner, Intermediate, and Hard. It increases daily for a month on each setting.

    Foodie?

    It's an annual thing at my house; since I can remember. Popular enough, my sister asked me to make it yesterday for Easter. I hope everyone had a nice holiday; if it was one for you and yours.

    Questions/ A Discussion on Being Part of the Deaf Community

    There are a ton of "vines" about this on Our World, Our Culture and "Do's and Don'ts" that would answer most of these questions. Not to be rude but most of these are asked quite frequently so it might help to go over those first. This time of year is popular for college thesis/projects and it...

    Share your tips

    Sports help with adrenaline but part of it is it forces you to take deeper breaths. Two in the nose and one out the mouth (sort of like lamas breathing but slower and more intentional) is a scientifically backed way to calm the nervous system. Animals do it, too. I learned that from a Stanford...
