No, the BLIND have their very own postage rate -- possibly free, I am still researching this. There has always been a cheap rate for "books", for anyone, but now they do not call it "books" they call it "Media Material" which can cover a broad range of things. In this case, "Blind Media...

Consider me an interested participant in this thread. I have had experience, but NOT with Soft Claws. We had a male Bengal who was declawed (front and back) when we bought him. (At one year old). When he was 8 years old he started spraying on EVERYTHING, we tried different tips, nothing...

Heath, do you have night time panic attacks? Is that why you cannot sleep? In that case, Zoloft would help you out there. There are no "side effects" unless you don't really need it. A deaf person's life is not an easy one, and if medication helps you deal with life, then so be it...

Well, kiddo, many, many deafies feel intiminated because they have such poor language ability. "Minimum Language Skills". They are worried that they might get made fun of -- or even that you cannot understand what they are trying to put across. For myself, I feel intiminated because I have...

Today I went to the post office to mail a package. As usual, they showed me all kinds of options -- all the way from the cheapest to the most expensive. On the very top was "Media for the blind material". I told the postmaster that actually it was a book for the DEAF, "Deaf Media Material"...

Beware of over doing OCD purchases. Actually Tylenol PM and similiar products can do you a great deal of harm. Better to drink warm milk or something more in click with nature. Have you tried excercise? I mean, you cannot sit around all day and expect to be tired enough to fall asleep. Try...

This is the way the Sorenson installer did it. We have a network in our home because we have several computers. Maybe that is why I have to have a router? Just sign me "Computer Illiterate". :)

The only time I actually have a problem is when the clerk actually see's me SIGNING to someone. When I walk up then and start to speak, they get this strange, frightened (deer in the headlights) look on their faces. Most of us have writing material in our handbags, for check writing, etc...

I have used both with my VP. I got cable because my installer told me it would work better and clearer. But the cable company stank and was too busy for this area, so I went back to DSL. It depends on your area. If you live out in the toolies you might have to experiment. Most people I...

The person with the 200 can make their own adjustments from their remote control. The 200 is capable of that.

I have a VP 200 and my router is: Linksys "Wireless - G 2.4 GHz Model WRT54GL Does this help you?

Have you noticed the PRICE of spices lately??! I just paid almost $8.00 for a small jar of dill weed. Ugh. I think Boult is right, someone is trying to con us all into purchasing new spices when we do not need to. I recall my mom keeping her spices for years and years and years!

But HOW do you get validated?? I have tried many times but the validation email never arrives!

Do you receive Medicare? Medicare might help you. Or you can ask around among your deaf friends who no longer need their monitor? How about your parents? Are they willing to help? I am "older and wiser" and I NEVER had the use of a baby monitor! I had five children and did it...

Hmm, two different problems here. First, Bitter apple does work if you spray it on your houseplants. I grow a big pot of Kitty Grass out on my deck that my Kula feasts on daily. She does not bother my houseplants now that I have the Kitty Grass. Kitty Grass needs plenty of water and...

Your friend is right. "Don't worry about me". You do not need to translate everything, just keep the deafie in the normal range of understanding. "We are talking about the divorce", or, "Her mom just remarried". And so on. Been there, done that. You are trying too hard. Relax, the...

From what I have heard about "mainstream" interpreters, there is alot there to be desired! And from my own experience, I feel that your child would do great in an oral school situation as long as you keep using Sign at home and expose him to other deaf children who Sign. When he becomes...

Touchy situation! Hmm, I think your question is an excellent one and a question that should have been brought up before -- everywhere! I can only speak for myself. I have good speech and have kept working on it, (after having gone deaf at age 10 from measles.) I usually SPEAK when I am...

Trust me, the problem does not go away with ADULT CHILDREN. In fact it might be worse. Adults play adult head-games. In the long run, if you possibly can, remain with the person you had your children with. If I had it to do all over again, that is what I would do. Everyone grows up...

I live in Oregon so I have had my VP 200 for quite sometime. It is WONDERFUL! Such a big improvement over the 100. BUT if you have a 200 and are chatting with someone who has a 100, do not expect miracles. "200 to 200" works great, perfect, just like a theatre movie. And you don't have to...
