Maybe cost is something that can be measured wtih a calculator, but value can only be measured by the individual. Derek's turbo charged engines have no value to me. My son-in-law's shiny red truck has no value to me. To me a vehicle is only transportation. I just want it to run, have enough...

I am not trying to minimize the struggle, (I knew I wasn't making sense)- Frisky said she usually sees deaf adults who didn't learn ASL until later struggle with social skills, although there were exceptions. I am just curious about how the exceptions were able to get through the same...

:hmm: That makes sense, Frisky. Maybe the exceptions, those who have good social skills and confidence even if they didn't learn ASL until they were older depends on reasons why they grew up not learning ASL, too, the parents' attitude toward their child's deafness. Some parents might not...

No, this is a new news report. I think the real problem for you is that it contradicts your prejudged opinions. Trayvon had bruised knuckles. You said he didn't have any marks. And there are very different opinions about who could not discuss this in a civilized, intellectual manner...

Well, my grandson also grunts with pleasure when he eats, but he's 17 months old and spent his first year eating by a tube in his stomach.

I have a hearing friend who moans in pleasure when he eats.

My business is my blog, and I do make some money from that. I also make some money with a couple of other online projects- that means I do a lot of reading and talking to other bloggers about the business side of things. One thing I've read is that having a personal name like 'Derek's Bikes' is...

I don't know- not being deaf, and not having to work outside the home so I haven't had to look for a job in a long time. But socially, my son-in-law (nearly totally deaf in one ear), doesn't like to tell people he can't hear them. He just asks them to repeat themselves a lot, or he controls the...

Yes, THIS is the law of supply and demand. You should teach an economics class.

It's all relative. If hearing aids allow him to perform a job that pays 70K a year and without the aids he can't do the same job, then it might be worth it to him. If you have the skills to perform a job that pays 70K with or without HA, then maybe not. If you don't have the skills for...

We have seven, two through adoption. We wanted more- even tried to adopt again, but things just fell through. We are unofficial foster parents to two little boys who stay with us most weekends and holidays.

Glad it wasn't a bad accident, that everybody is okay, and that she admitted fault. That makes things go much mroe smoothly.

The pharmacy is usually only for prescription drugs or for pseudophedrine, because it is often used to make meth. I only need ID for bank transactions when the bank employee doesn't recognize me. I have never had to show ID to go to the doctor's office. but I do have to show either my...

Laundry. I did laundry all day.

Our son-in-law paid off his truck when he was around 21 years old, and the next week he hit a deer and it was totaled. Now he is super careful about them. One day he saw two deer running toward his new car and he slammed on the brakes and stopped completely. The two deer ran into him while...

I am thinking that now that my son set up our swimming pool and filled it, I would like it to get hot enough to swim!

maybe he meant 'fighting at my behest,' that is, they are fighting because he's the one who sent them there?

Property rights are Constitutional.:shock: So are firearms.

That's assuming he knows what he's talking about. I live in a tiny community- so tiny, that although I live ten miles outside of town, the post office will deliver mail addressed only by my name and zip code. I can go to the bank in my small town and cash a check without ID. But I can't go...
