    Anybody used Shake Awake travel alarm?

    I don't know about that alarm but I've used the sonic boom alarm clock for myself and that works very well. It also lets you connect it to a lamp so you can have any combination of flashing, buzzing, and standard ringing (I believe the ringing is done in high and low frequencies as well).

    why it's hard to meet a decent guy online

    iPod Safety: Preventing Hearing Loss in Teens

    To me it sounds more like everybody in the world will have a little trouble hearing and having a mild hearing loss becomes normal, then the moderately+ deaf are left in the dust.

    IB diploma?

    I'm interested in the IB program but being mod-sev HOH I'd have considerable trouble in the secondary language core. I sent an inquiry to them about accomodations but I'd like to know if anybody else has had experience with the program?

    Will I??

    I think your problem is that you're a Nice Guy™. Basically because you're insecure about yourself you aren't confident enough to directly initiate a romantic/sexual relationship so your going strategy is to make friends with people and hope that by being a nice/courteous enough guy that girls...

    single and looking for girl

    seconded. Online dating is generally ineffective IMO on basis of principle. Simplest way is to ask out a girl you like rather than arrange a date and pay for a one shot of finding somebody you like.

    Beginning to feel rather worthless, and not sure how to handle it

    Firstly your husband is being a prick. Thought I'd get that out of the way. Maybe, but polite and kind shouldn't be your first priority.Whenever you're talking to somebody you should expect for them to accommodate you. Say something that describes your needs in a semi-forceful way such as "You...

    Lawmakers Want to Ban Eyeball Tattoos

    A tribute to Dune perhaps? I'm more concerned that more of these people will do this thinking "yeah it won't happen to me only wimps and nervous fucks shake/move during the tattoo" then they shake :roll: go blind, and then wrongfully leech off of disabilities funds that should go to people...

    What your worse nightmares?

    I dunno if I've posted this but it had some lady screaming at me "HOW ABOUT A FUCKING PINEAPPLE!?!?!" It's absurd in retrospect but during the dream it was pretty freaky.

    Your experiences with Twins, triplets and higher multiples.

    I've known some twins. The two identical ones I knew were annoying and their whole personality seemed to be some giddy "*laugh* we do EVERYTHING together!!!!!!!!!! *giggle giggle giggity giggity*" The fraternal ones just seemed like brothers/sisters with little in common. Keep in mind both...

    Do you believe in death penalty

    Allowing a prisoner to spend life in prison is cheaper than the death penalty. "Total cost of death penalty is 38% greater than total cost of life without parole sentences. (Indiana Criminal Law Study Commission, January 10, 2002)" United States Death Penalty FAQs Religious/ethical...

    Was Bush Right? You DECIDE

    We can't say Obama's too much better either despite his endless heralding of change and a brighter future. Despite that Bush did a horrible job, he's not enough of a complete idiot to do/maintain something politically damaging without a good reason to him*. The task force he's assembling may...

    To Tell Or Not To Tell...

    It's best to just get over it and have an unabashed way of telling people that you're hard of hearing and telling them how they may help you. For example, whenever I start a new class I give a quick talk to the whole class that goes roughly something like; "Hi I'm Mockingbird I'm hard of...

    A few questions that will probably seem a little silly...

    Your "fluctuating" loss means that your hearing goes up and down over time rather than just staying where it is or having a steady loss. Not being able to keep up with conversaton is pretty normal for a severe loss, and I doubt that a new BTE (behind the ear) HA will give you the ability to do...
