    How many of you had parents who refused to accept deafness?

    I had it "my own way".... not bad (there are worse) but in person conversation is very short. He texts everything, even at the dinner table. For the last 3 years he's lived in Shanghai China so the time difference plus bad skype connections make it so the communication problems aren't as...

    My boyfriend is an IP lawyer and he said one of his clients has something. He interviewed me a little to write the patent about what I would find helpful. I don't know much about the invention but it's mostly used to translate voice to text in real time, not with a gap like Dragon. Might...

    How many of you had parents who refused to accept deafness?

    I was late deafened at 19... but my dad told my mother and my best friend overheard and told me - "the world doesn't adapt to her, so we shouldn't either, so that she adapts to the hearing world as being deaf" (somewhat paraphrased).... my dad went the technology route and found bluetooth...

    Planning a Wedding

    My job has turned me into a cynic... lol these days the people who will charge $100 for a lot of the vendors aren't trained professionally and they'll hurt the flow of the day. One of my brides is considering a DJ that costs $1,400.... meanwhile the "Craigslist DJs" are the ones who charge...
