I'm currently in a bowling league on a team of 4 other deafies. :) It's at the local bowling alley. My average's 129 and highest game was 173 in a previous league, 2 years ago in Australia.
Dunno..it really varies from individual to individual. I remember receiving high marks in reading/english and was told I had a 12th grade reading level whilst in middle school. It depends on where one was educated at and how high their motivation levels were in learning, smile. It could be...
I went to Jim Gatehouse's wake at Daniel's Chapel of Roses in Santa Rosa last night. It was a very subdued amotsphere -- it was hard accepting the fact he's gone, but at least he's at peace now.
RIP Mr Gatehouse, you're one cool cat. You were my favourite biology/chemistry teacher at my high...
Wow, nice poignant poem. I think of death a lot, too...and it's not pleasant having those kinds of thoughts, but it's some kind of umm...a coping tool for us to come to terms with death somehow.
I have a CI and I understand about the concerns of having a child implanted with one at such an early age. Yes, there are pros and cons on when a child can have a CI -- based on the decision of the parents or the child him/herself.

I've been bitten a couple of times by my mother's dog this past year...the first one was because I got in his way when he was trying to charge and attack another dog ahead of us on our walk. The second time was when I was trying to get him off my bed one night and he didn't want to move. :roll:
D'uh, like I didn't know, but I was merely giving the questioner some ideas of what phone offered qwerty keyboards. There are a couple of Nokias that have qwerty kbs. Same with hmm..the LG, a new model came out that looks like the A360 Motorola (something like that).
My sweetie gave me a Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse to replace the old keyboard and mouse I had - :D. He got a Sidekick 2 from me, one month early. My Mum gave me a purple necklace with a purple cross. (I gave her a Sidekick 2, too, for Christmas as well.)
Dark purple scarf - bf's...
Hope everyone had a good time yesterday and the day before with loved ones. :D I certainly had a lovely time with my man at his father's place. It was very low-keyed with the family. My mother came along and it was really a nice time for her to get out and socialise with other people rather...
I took care of a chinchilla one summer at work some years ago, I really enjoyed taking care of it and watching it taking its powder bath like everyone in here has mentioned, ha. They're cute and cuddly, but they're very skittish around people.
