I can relate somewhat Angel, this is one of the reasons I will add certain things to my list when they are clear and concise enough in my own head. For instance, I want to be able to get to a place within myself that I can say "F*** It" to feeling guilty that I cannot do hours of physical...

Soon I will be able to cross a couple of things off my Bucket List (yeah!)and it got me to thinking ... I am getting to the age where perhaps a F*** It List would be more appropriate. A list of those things that I would benefit from letting go or not worrying about anymore. I think one of the...

I don't follow this. Both glasses and hearing aids work to bring that particular sense closer to optimal but neither change the underlying function. The success of their usage is dependent on the reason for the loss as well as the degree.

I love Greek yogurt, so thick, rich and creamy. My favorite is Oikos. I like the plain on potatoes and in dips but to just eat yogurt on it's own I go for the ones with fruit.

Have you had a really detailed heart-to-heart discussion with your husband about the facts of hearing loss and, most importantly, both your feelings about it? He has a reason for resisting taking interest in, and learning, ASL. Until you hear it, accept that it is a 'reason' to him and share how...

I usually down in the Milwaukee/Chicago area twice a year and each time I am intrigued by the whole "fish fry" thing. Big monthly fish frys packed with people, regular Friday fish frys packed with people ... it's like a pilgrimmage :giggle:. One of these times I am going to have to go to one so...

Post-it super sticky full adhesive notes are great. They adhere to most items very well and never leave a residue or damage the finish.

I have 'interpreted' many times for a close friend of mine and there are two basic rules of thumb I have followed. One, I only interpret when she specifically asks me to or, literally, turns to me for assistance. She has been deaf all her life and navigated the hearing world long before we...

Gallinippers! Monster mosquitoes poised to strike Florida - News - MSN CA

What a well-written and comprehensive article. It's a great resource regarding lipreading. I am going to pass it on, thanks.

Interesting note regarding pre-rinsing/cleaning dishes before they go in the dishwasher ... I was having a problem with our dishwasher, I felt it was not cleaning as well as it should. I called in a repair person and, during his visit, he told me that today's dishwashers are built to deal with...

haha good one LoveBlue!

The best: a toss up between the refridgerator and penicillin The worst: hmm not sure which I think is worst but Twitter and Daylight Savings Time come to mind at the moment.

Would I appreciate a visitor, yes. Would I appreciate a visitor with their own agenda, no.

This! Again, insanity is doing the same thing over and over but expecting a different result ... We can offer advice, continually address bit and pieces of the 'story' and respond over and over to these posts but the result will remain the same. To quote an old catchphrase, let's "Stop the...

Good reminder, thanks!

There are so many dictionary-type resources out there - boy have they come a long way! I have used and perused quite a few but to-date my favorite resources are: - The Canadian Dictionary of ASL (Bailey & Dolby) - its a large and rather cumbersome hardcover dictionary but invaluable to me. It...

Yeah for a mystery solved! And never be embarrassed when asking questions, that's how we all learn! (at least that is my philosophy) :-)

It wouldn't have been the number 20 would it?

I'm not clear on the visual of 'd' facing outward - could you explain a little more? The only sign I can think of that incorporates the 'd' with the index finger 'bowing' is what-to-do/what are you doing (but in that case the 'd' is (what I would call) upside down.
