On December 21st, 2012, I'm going to go to work and hope that there won't be any traffic because of all the loonies in bomb shelters. I'm not spending a day in a fallout/bomb shelter just because some Mayan people got stoned, didn't finish their calender, and came up with some half assed excuse...

He just needs to be disciplined for most of those problems. Don't be afraid to slap him. Anyways, you're just going to have to adapt to some things and make sure he understands you. Not that I'm trying to stereotype anyone, but it sounds to me as if he could be taking "being hard of hearing"...

You shouldn't "change" or expect someone to unless it's something such as a bad habit or some other trivial thing. If you're incompatible you're deluding yourself if you think that changing will make everything magical and happy.

I find revoking policies that were put in place to discourage the murder of fetuses, regardless of the implementers' poor way of doing it, a step backwards to the time of Rome and before.

Coolio, I'll just go and put them all in a list for you. 1. Openess about sexuality. In the Deaf community many people are very intimate with each other, and will decide to let it go onto open sexual relationships, read "friends with benefits". We're very open with each other, and see it as a...

I tried it at the Boston Science museum, worked pretty well. It was a stand that you carried in and adjusted if you needed it. My only complaint was that it reflected too much from people's cell phones and since the reflector was so small you couldn't move your head much wihtout readjusting it.

It's just a ridiculous standard they hold up because they don't want to pony up for hearing aids, and most hearing people don't give a shit/think "well they can still hear it's just a little thing like my reading glasses and they cost thousands of dollars wow that's a lot I only pay $40 for MY...

1. Yes 2. Genetic loss is I believe the most common form of deafness at birth, other later causes can include oxotoxic drugs, exposure to loud sounds, head trauma, or genetics again. 3. Severe-Profound 4. No idea 5. Yes 6. Not that well, but it depends on the person. Some people sound like...

I'm only HoH myself, but I feel I would be a lot better off at a school for the deaf rather than a mainstreamed school as I've always been for my life. The resources have generally been crappy (my current school, a hybrid school, is the exception with 5 HoH and 1 CI), etc. teachers refused to...

You people need to seriously get your priorities straight here. A friend comes and goes, but 670 calories and 39 grams of fat stay on your waist *forever*

pretty much everything to do with the internet, blog, LOLcatz, etc.

I'm on the same level as Steel X. I'd only date/be close friends with a hearing person if they were understanding about being HOH and where I come from. In general it's easier to befriend other HOH/Deaf people since they won't perceive a gap between us and are generally in tune with my existing...

We would probably live as a British colony protesting our lack of rights in Britain's legal system and asking "What would it be like if the revolutionaries DID win the revolutionary war?"

I'm also looking for a job. Just to clear up any confusion I'm paying for this phone myself, so please, no more preaching about how cell phones aren't necessary and et cetera (nobody in particular).

Still could be fun to experience it, even if it's only for a few years/months. Better than those 109 year old men who want 19 year old women to marry them. Like me :naughty:

Don't you think that's excessive? No communication outside the family except for a few pre-approved same gender friends? That's just a baby step up from a country such as Saudi Arabia. I somehow find very difficult to believe that you will be able to implement this without coming off as an...

1. Yes 2. Yes 3. One 4. One has completely normal hearing. 5. One Something about your project; your topic isn't that much of a question. If you want to win something, you need to choose a question that isn't answerable just by using common sense about how people lose their hearing and...

I find myself using ASL or an improvised sign for words when I talk to hearing people. They've never been bothered by it and sometimes they'll pick some of it up on their own and use it (signs such as food, locker, book, videogame, etc.). I thank these people.

As long as both of you are running faster than the bear. Not saying that it's likely though.

Very fast.
