Austin is very nice and there's a great Deaf community there. Check out Texas School for the Deaf.

I'm not responsible for another adult. Unless declared incompetent, an adult is responsible for herself. If she is incompetent, the state will step in. Sometimes people fail to have appropriate boundaries. Often, this happens when a person bolsters herr own ego by pointing out the allegedly...

Tell the soon-to-be ex that you will see him in court. The judge will straighten him out.

Bump special for cheetah! :laugh2::twisted:

Not in front of the spouse because that's disrespectful. Some casual flirty banter (without the spouse present) happens and that's ok if that's all it is.

In some countries, children don't get much of a childhood at all. :(

I thought that I was banned because I have a guilty conscience! Thanks for clearing that up. :laugh2:

deafdrummer, the deaf center is separate from the baptist church. I'm not religious myself, but I feel very comfortable at the deaf center. The only religious part of my classes was a quick devotional before the classes, which I didn't mind. There is no requirement that you go to the church...

Wirelessly posted (droid) There is a therapist who volunteers at Lilian Beard Deaf Connection Center. She's Deaf and uses ASL. If you don't know ASL, I'm sure that they will accommodate you, too. Get in touch with her asap. She can help you.

Wirelessly posted (droid) Unfortunately, some people aren't mentally healthy enough to be in my life. Even when you love someone, you can't let him/her drag you down. You can only hope that he/she seeks professional help in the future.

I don't know, Jana. You look pretty scary to me! :lol:

deafbahagirl, you're the one that you need to forgive most of all. To take care of yourself. :hug:

Forgiveness is for the peron who gives it. It releases one from the hurt and pain. It's not that it didn't happen, it just enables you to move on with your life. At least, that has been my experience.

It depends on whether the person fully acknowledges the slight and does not continue the behavior in the future. If that happens, it easy to forgive. Otherwise, I would discontinue the relationhip because it's not a healthy one.

Be aware that if you make a formal loan to a family member at a below market rate, it may impute income. Talk to a professional to avoid this. Generally, don't give a family member or friend money if you want it paid back. Consider it a gift. The other option is a formal loan set up by an...

Wirelessly posted (droid) Drunk fingerspelling. Now, that's funny.

Wirelessly posted (droid) Have fun, Kristina! I'm heading to the super-super market now. No social tonight, so I'll enjoy a quiet evening with my family.

Wirelessly posted (droid) What dates?

Wirelessly posted (droid) Have you connected with your local Deaf/Hoh community? You can get help advocating for reasonable accommodations. As for communicating with parents, preschool sent a written report daily, which I greatly appreciated. Now, I rarely communicate with a teacher in person...

Wirelessly posted (droid) You would think so. I have a hunch what it is. Testing is around $900 and will not affect treatment. Most doctors don't want to deal with it. I've heard that it's hard for Ehlers-Danlos syndrome patients to find doctors who will treat them, too. Unfortunately, it's...
