    A sad encounter

    That's sad. Did you ever find out about that deaf lady? Did she ever get out and learn ASL and be less ashamed of being deaf?

    My son is Deaf, finally!

    I, too, was appalled about the video until the end...now do understand why he did it. He did a great job bringing out the issue and making people think and feel the anger about the subject. I concur with him on the cochlear implants issue -- although I have one, but I decided to get it at age...

    want to hear your opinions about cochlear implant

    I'm 40 and have had my N-24 CI for 11 years, a decision I made myself at age 29 after observing my former step son who had a CI implanted at the age of 2. He's now 23 years old. Anyway, despite my misgivings and opposition to children being implanted at such a young age, I decided to get one for...

    Loss

    Sorry about the loss and finding out the other one is going the same way. It's hard losing beloved pets -- 14 years is a long time -- he's lived a long good life with a loving family.

    This didn't make the news

    Yikes, although I rarely watch the TV news nor online news as well due to being on the run practically all the time and am usually too tired to bother with it by the end of the day. Nevertheless, it still was saddening to hear about the oil spill in China. Not reported on the news? That'd be...

    How do you feel about baby sign?

    I believe it does babies wonderful in many ways. Learning to sign at a very early age promotes communication between babies and their parents, guardians, etc. and miminises frustration of getting their needs met. My son's hearing, but since I'm deaf, of course, I encourage him to learn ASL...

    Terrorist attack foiled aboard U.S. jetliner

    It's saddening that there are sickkkkk people out there who are fixiated in exploding themselves and others on planes or anywhere else in the world, especially on US soil. They obviously need help mentally and emotionally. *sighs* Just am grateful that it was foiled this time, hopefully future...

    Something terrible wrong!

    Terribly tragic. 3 year olds don't realise the deadly consquences of handling guns. Thinking it was fake. Nevertheless, it's sad. :( Would of been nice to know what made the kid decide to pick up a gun & shoot?

    Aussie Fire & Deaths

    That's correct, plus due to the incredible speed of the firestorm, people didn't really have much chance to outrun the fire. Some were found in their cars, but just were overcome by the fire. Australia is very fire-aware and have lots of safety precautionary measures put in place, but not all...

    What Makes Some Deaf Children (But Not Others) Good Readers?

    I would reckon it's due to how parents raised their deaf child(ren), whether they were exposed early to reading books and having had their deafness diagnosed early. It really depends on the circumstances the child(ren) are reared in. It varies from family to family, really. I'm a Deaf child of...

    Hi I'm RJ from CA!

    Hi, since you asked where you could purchase a used 'new' sidekick for your father, right? You can always check ebay.com as they do have sidekick phones there. I got my 3 sidekick 2's from there, so worthwhile my time. Just keep in mind - keep an eye out for those who try to rip you off. Just...
