Hello! One reason why RD2D questioned you about your hearing experience, I believe, is the concern of your auditory perception. Far be from it me to make rash generalizations about CIs in congenitally and profoundly deaf people who have grown up with minimal auditory feedback or even none at...

Oops.

Nobody burned any bras in the name of feminism. It is an urban legend from the late sixties.

Endymion, thank you for the heads-up on the money smarts. I'll be chewing on it all day tomorrow. . . Perhaps I should just keep my car.

Oh, what a big relief. For a moment, I thought she was implying that I'm living in Washington D.C. next year!

Touché, Monsieur Eyeth, touché. I thought I had typed in "my hypothetical partner", but I was thinking that it sounded somewhat highfaluting in its way and opted for "my future partner" instead. Somehow I never got around to fulfilling my mission! Whether I have already found that special...

Different gatekeeper degrees for different gates. One can lead you to a budding career as a financial analyst on Wall Street, another to a stagnant career as an amateur porn star living in the valley. There's also the matter of what kind of attendant you get. :)

I like to go to the Farmer's Market every week and buy local, organic produce. And I can stuff my mouth with free samples as much as I can before somebody starts yelling at me. :D Also, I shop at Ranch 99. It's a well-known Asian supermarket based in California. I can buy virtually everything...

What are you saying? :-o

No, that's South Park. I'd go with Springfield, Illinois, but the precise location of the Simpsons' residence shall remain a mystery for as long as we live. Unless you're best friends with Matt Groening. It can't be California, because then Homer would lose his job at the power plant...

Don't shoot me for being the intermediary here, but I think Teresh is saying that religion does not guarantee a lifelong cure for a clinically depressed person. At the same time, religion can act as a solution, or how about a more lenient term, remedy, for some clinically depressed people who...

I'm assuming that ROI is the same as the rate of return. Care to expand on that one, please? As for purchasing a new car or a used one, I'm still undecided on the issue. Although I'm more likely to opt for a used car, I am considering the long-term consequences of the trade-off and comparing...

Why don't we throw out every car dealer and real estate agent that has ever walked on this planet? Oh wait. Life wouldn't be fun without them, because then we couldn't pick on them. (With all due respect to the middlemen, including your father, Ayala, out there...) ;) I never buy airline...

Judging by the direction of the thread, your concept of "foreigners" refers to non U.S. citizens. I'm happy to see how the interpretation of your question played out. I'm not concerned about the legal status of my partner as much as I am about being happy with him. No, not just happy, but...

Sounds like car dealers are in the same boat with real estate agents when it comes to selling property (whether it be a car or a house). . .

It may sound like a contradiction, but it isn't. Not all deaf people are stone deaf. There are quite an astonishing diversity of hearing losses in the deaf-and-hard-of-hearing population. Some can hear well enough to talk on the telephone and communicate with hearing people directly. Yet they...

I'm looking to do an used car trade-in, but have never done anything of the sort before and am trying to do extensive research on it. There's no point in breaking my piggy bank for a professional appraisal of my car if I can do it myself. At the same time, I'd like to maximize my trade-in...

Ahem to that. Racial fetishes are one of my biggest pet peeves, especially if they are sexualized too. It is a source of anxiety for me and my friends when we believe that we are targeted as desired objects based on our so-called exotic-ness.

Just a thought. If the bilingual-bicultural method is considered the best kind for educating deaf children, why not incorporate CS in the existing academic curriculum to teach them English? Half of the classes could be conducted in ASL, the other half in Cued English, and the students can choose...

Netrox, thank you for sharing your experience with us! It's a shame that CS hasn't garnered enough praise and attention for what it has done for deaf children, even within the field of educational linguistics in the U.S. No surprise about it as usual. CS doesn't seem to be common on the West...
