Yeah. You're right. I DO remember it being a challenge the first time we went, because we didn't know what resources are around. Day to day, when we just go "out and about," though, it's still sometimes challenging. I mean how often to we make it to Northampton, you know? ;) *smooch* Jen

I was a teenager, I think. It was two people arguing, of all things. I mean, a real knock-down, drag out row! Right in the middle of a mall. If they had been speaking, they would have been yelling. I thought it was really cool. (ASL, not the fight. LOL!) Jen M.

Thanks, hon. No. I don't need it for customer interactions. Even when I invoice them, the invoicing is done and the payments made via secure sites (https), so it's not necessary, and it would definitely turn them off. Jen

I am interested in learning it. At home, we use PSE, but I actually find--from my limited experience with it--that ASL feels less "clunky." Jen M.

This is exactly what I was originally going to say, but the way I put it it sounded really dumb. I think this is a quantum question: We observe time, so it does exist. The question, though, is what are we observing (movement of heavenly bodies) that makes us call it and experience it as...

Oh, yeah. Small towns and rural locations are tough for us vegans. When Audiodef and I drive up to MA to visit his family, we pack a cooler. You just never know where you're going to stop to eat. We had a hotel we routinely stay in, and there's a TGI Friday's right next door. They are good...

Yes. It is possible. My boyfriend is deaf, but he is sensitive to noise. It has to do with how your hearing loss has manifested and sometimes how hearing aids work, if one wears them. Good luck at the doctor! Welcome! Jen M. (hearing, boyfriend is deaf)

Yeah. I've seen some of your posts, Dogmom. I figured you were in that field. Yay! So, just curious: Why did you stop being vegan? You don't have to answer if you don't want to. I'm not trying to start a debate. I'm just always curious about people. I've only been vegan for maybe a...

Useful Dog Tricks performed by Jesse - YouTube So cute! Jen M.

Thank you! :)

NM. I said something, and then I realized it was dumb, so I edited my post to say that ^ ^ ^ instead. :P Jen

Never mind-I am a dispshit. Carry on! Jen M.

Cheetah, in your case, that's very understandable--that they can get in trouble. I admit I still have trouble with it. I'm going to need to sit down with Audiodef again and go through it. Like...what if you encrypt, but the person you send to is clueless? Jen M.

Yeah. There are, but now I know how to spot them better. ;) Actually, I hate working for other people, but my business is not profitable yet and it may not be for a few years yet--not that I'm not trying. Jen M.

I'm an administrative assistant. The work is fine. I don't mind being an admin at all. It can be challenging and rewarding. The problem is that my company--and it's pretty big--is really, really dysfunctional. I took my first permanent job there about 10 years ago, because I was temping...

I'm a red wine girl, myself. Merlot! :D

Any additional languages you know will help, even the German. What if you work for an agency where you are the only one who speaks German, and you have a German victim or the family of a victim only speaks German, etc. It's always a great skill to have. (I admit I'm a little biased, because I...

I HATE my job. Every day, I have to forcefully stop myself from just walking out. I have been looking for another job for a very long time with no luck. I realize I'm lucky to have a job and be able to pay my bills, but it's SO awful! (It's the people, not the work.) Jen M.

1Monkey, that might actually be helpful. I have asked Audiodef--more than once--to explain his range of hearing/hearing loss/circumstances under which he hears NOTHING/etc. It has helped me to really grasp, I think, the best way to deal with communication. He might thank you for it--assuming...

The best advice I can give you is to do a search for any resources your country has for the deaf/HoH. (not clear if you are still IN India.) Also, just talk to her (online.) Find out what HER resources are. It's not clear how long you have known her/how much you know about her. Also, CI is...
