No, I don't. We live in a small town northern central. We are hoping to move somewhere bigger, but that won't be for a while (like a year or two more).

A book circle? That's one I haven't thought of. :hmm: I love traveling, unfortunately, I do not have the funding to do so very often. My husband and I try to make it to Michigan every two years and stay a week. Last time, we got to try kayaking with the in-laws! My dream is to go to...

I realize that I am lonely. Not intimately wise (happily married), but more finding others that share similar struggles, I guess (for advice or just to vent). It didn't bother me as much when I was younger (so I thought), since I spent majority of it with a nose in a book. It's somewhat an...

I'm doing well despite being a little bit under the weather. There's a cold that's being passed around the place I work. And I'm from Wisconsin, US

By the way, Hi! :wave: and welcome. :)

Hi, Meridith and welcome! You're very talented. I love your painting, it's beautiful. Hope you find many new friends here!

Hi, Muneem and welcome! Hope you find many friends here. :)

My parents didn’t provide me a chance to learn ASL while growing up either, let alone my exposure to the Deaf community is null. I received my first HAs at 27 (I’m 30 now). However, I do find that those who are willing to learn a new language, opens up to a type of understanding. I applaud you...

Growing up there were many in the same class that had the same name as myself. The only way we could tell who was talking about who was to use the first initial of the last name. I didn't mind it much, it was my maiden name that bothered me. It's very German and the pronunciation is similar to...

Haha, my bad. And here, I prided myself just the other day for my English skills..:giggle:

I totally understand this. I grew up with people saying "Never mind", "You don't listen!" and my personal favorite, "Are you deaf?" The saddest part of it was that it mostly came from my family members. I didn't know how to react because it was a type of taboo topic until I got out of high...

I understand. I've been doing this type of work for about 11 years and have seen this a lot, unfortunately. It's not easy, but it illiterates the need to have stability in this field so they can develop relationships that are positive and helps build trust. ~Ash

Anyone interested in doing some ASL "practice". I know basic ASL (finger spelling and some conversational signing) and would like to improve. :) My Skype is: live:flower.gal P.S. I work third shift (11p-7a CST) most nights, so if there are any night owls out there, it'd work awesomely for...

Tousi, not that I can find. :( I'm somewhat of an introvert so it's not easy for me to "get out there". I'd love to meet up with people, but I'm shy. Whatdidyousay!, mine too! I work at a high behavioral home on third shift, so neither hospital or doctor's office. I wish I did, I went to school...

Just popping in to introduce myself. :wave: My name is Ash, I live in north central Wisconsin; I have bilateral high frequency moderately severe to severe hearing loss, know "basic" ASL, work in the medical field and have been married for what seems like forever! :) Am looking for new...
