It is a good idea not to fool yourselves. Once you have been deaf for awhile, your speech deteriorates. I went deaf during the month of May and by December, my family could hear the difference. If you wish to concentrate on speech and neglect everything else, well good luck. Do the best...

Buy yourself a doorbell and phone notifying system. They do not eat or get sick.

My one and only suggestion is to use the money you would have spent on a wedding to purchase a home for yourself and your future spouse.

Pets, etc. We have a Solomon Island Eclectus Parrot from the New Zealand area named Lenny. He is almost 12 years old. And here at home we have Kula, a purebred Begal female who will be 9 years old in April. At our farm in Washington State we have 2 grey spotted tabbies adopted from the...

Can't you have a little chat with your mom? Tell her you would much rather have a gift certificate from your favorite store. I am sure she will be happy to know what makes YOU happy and satisfied. I am a grandmother many times over and I have learned over the years that gift certificates...

Great subject! I am glad you brought it up. I probably have an equal number of hearing and deaf friends. 'Because of the communication problems, of course it is more comfortable to be with your own kind -- deaf -- however sometimes deafies do not satisfy my need for intellectual...

Poms I feed my parrot, Lenny one fourth of a Pom each day. He loves them! At our local supermarket they are 2/$3.00. They are expensive because the season is short, -- November to January -- and then it is all over. I use Bi-O-Kleen to get the stain out of the carpet, etc...

Please do not feel inferior because you have a dialup connection! At least you have a connection! DSL, Cable, etc is expensive and many folks cannot afford that. Too many deafies feel that they have to keep up with the Jones's. Hang in there guys, better days are to come.

Boult, so nice to see you! I wanted you to know that I have an appointment with a CI doctor and will post accordingly. I have had to cancel once, due to bad weather, trees down, debris on the road, etc. But I am finally going to find out just what my options are! Thanks for your...

What about if you have a network to another computer in your home?

I will have to do a little research but I am pretty sure that here in Oregon, Domestic Partners can share Medical Insurance. I do not know about the rest of it, but it is worth looking into. Oregon is always first to allow the odd-laws, like physician assisted suicide, etc.

JW kicking people out :bsflag: I live in an area where there are alot of JW. Some deaf, mostly hearing, (tho to give them credit, most of them sign!). I know for a fact that some of my deaf friends have been kicked out of the church for living with their boyfriends outside of marriage...

Have you ever heard of "Professional Students"? As long as SSI, SDI, Welfare, and Rehab are alive and well, there will always be Professional Students.

What woman has time for GAMES on Thanksgiving? The games are for the rest of the family, while the Mom works her tail off. Creating a big meal is a huge and very tiring job that many young people today have not yet mastered. I told my kids that it was time for the younger generation to...

Hello friend. I am on the Oregon Coast and yes, I am/was a deaf parent, tho my kids are adults now. They are happy and successful people, I am happy to say. Now I am a parent to a parrot and a female Bengal cat. 'And to my hubby, of course.

Hmm, reminds me of when I put fake ants in my daughter's salad. I don't think she thought it was funny!

'Glad to "meet" you at last! What beautiful rosey cheeks! A very lovely couple and you look comfortable with one another.

If a woman wants an abortion, she will get one, whether or not it is legal. Remember the days of wire coat hangars!

God Bless Target! Such a cheerful store, so clean and with decent bathrooms. I love shopping at Target, even tho we do not have one here. Whenever we can (when we go to the city to the doctor) we stop at Target, then have lunch at The Red Lobster!

I am confused about this issue. What is the difference between "gay marriage" and a "domestic partnership"? Here in Oregon we have the Domestic Partnership and it appears to work well. Why get married, just to get a divorce? I am straight, but if I had my druthers, I would go for a...
