    Oh brother. That just can't be right. You are not adding a new bathroom or anything else that uses water, so how could you need a larger septic system? When we built our house the septic requirements were based on a combinationof how many bedrooms and how many bathrooms we had. They figured...

    A walking cluster fark

    Oh brother. Why do these guys just want to encourage class antagonism in politics? Does he think Kerry, the Kennedys, and he himself are "representative" of the middle class in some way? I realize I live in a strange bubble here near D.C., but of my friends and relatives and neighbors, very...

    Raiders player sues breeder over deaf dog

    This story is four years old. Thomas has been done with football since Sept. of 2009, after going to the Redskins from Oakland. The instructive part of this story: don't buy your dogs from an "amateur" dog breder, and always insist on a health guarantee. Huge red flag that the breeder had a...

    Swimming at hotel....

    It really depends on the hotel. Some will let you use the services after you have checked out of your room, some allow a late checkout ( maybe extended by an hour or so), some might charge a day's service fee or something. Never hurts to ask.

    Is daylight savings time 'useless'?

    I like it, and wish we could be on DST all year round. But then you would have kids going to school in the dark in winter. It makes more of a difference the further north you go. In Michigan, it doesn't get dark until 10 p.m. or even later during the longest days. I used to like those long...

    New to the group

    Hi, and welcome. What are your plans for outreach? Are you looking to do something specifically for the deaf community or more to include services for the deaf as part of a community-wide presentation? When my husband and I built our beach house, we insisted that the builder include fire/...

    Awsome and positive hearing people stories

    Where are you from in Michigan? I grew up in the southwestern corner, also have relatives up in the Keewanau. Happy stories about the hearing: I count my blessings to have my wonderful husband. He makes whatever phone calls need doing; he will repeat comments as necessary if I didn't...

    Is deafness a "handicap?"

    My feeling is, sure it's a handicap, but as handicaps go, it's a manageable one. I need technology, like hearing aids, closed captions, light flashers on my smoke alarms in addition to the sounds, a vibrating alarm clock instead of a chiming one, etc,, but none of that stops me from...

    YouTube Mail Scam

    I got a couple of those. Since I don't have any clips on Youtube, I knew it was spam, but it does look very realistic. People who use Youtube a lot could easily be fooled.

    'Hearie' and 'Deafie'...offensive??

    Vsery interesting. Being numb and (apparently) emotionally insensitive is more true of the main character, but Taub is presented as hiding his feelings, too. That was a clever way for the writers to use a subtle bit of language to describe him.

    Returning Member :) -waves-

    Hi, and welcome back! Hope you will make yourself comfy and stay for a while. How long have you had these aids now? If they don't feel right or sound right, have you been back to your audi? Of course you have to give them a fair chance, but maybe some adjustments might be needed.

    'Hearie' and 'Deafie'...offensive??

    That is fascinating. I'm always interested in languages. What does Taub by itself mean? There is a character on "House " ( a tv program about a brilliant but obnoxious doctor) and now I'm wondering if the writers were getting some character definition in there with the name.

    My grandmother used to have a saying "Homely in the cradle, lovely at the table." It can take time, in other words.
