wait, what did i miss? How would jillio have been able to say where my child attends school, when she doesn't know. I have never shared here, or on my blog where my child goes to school.

that's why i ASKED. I didn't see it, si i asked.
 
As for "encounters from above' within the context of anything I have posted-sorry don't buy the "pseudo psychologizing exhibited". Especially by person who claim-some time ago- not to answer any of my comment. Forgot-silence is golden?
Even more amazing-how many forget to "check their own mirrors" before commenting!
Rorshach effect?

Who is sweetmind? Ostensible "deaf militants" don't exist!

Overactive imagination-perhaps?

What? Having a bad hair day?
 
Having bad hair day? No.
Do some of other commenters above suffer from "bad hair days"?

Sweetmind - someone who used to be here, but no longer is. Apparently was definitely of the "deaf militant" persuasion.

What the hell is the "Rorshach effect"? You really need to stop stringing words together that make no sense, as well as being sure you understand the terms you like to throw around.:roll:

Sweetmind is not a figment of anyone's imagination. I only wish I could introduce you to her.:cool2:

She is very well known in the Deaf community, and she is a deaf militant, not was. She is still alive and well.

To be honest, she wasn't all objectionable. She has some very valid points, but simply went to the extreme in too many cases.

My car died the other day because it was raining, I put headlights on and forgot to turn them off--apparently there is a very high pitched ring or buzz to remind people to turn off the lights so you dont kill the car. :thumbd:

Happen to others?

Yes, middle of winter, extremely freezing cold and snowing out. I drove to work, parked, left my headlights and got out. Worked for like 4 hours, came back out, and my car was completely dead. I couldn't even GET into my car as the locking mechanism was dead as well lmao (the remote wouldn't work at all and my key is a crappy copy and I have to do a lot of messing around with the key just to get it to even unlock the passenger side door). Whoops? I learned my lesson from this experience though haha.

Not sure if their later models have it but my '97 Toyota Camry has a feature where when you shut the engine off and open the door the headlights go off! Thus, I leave then in the "on" setting all the time because even in full daylight it helps other people see you.

I have run a battery all the way down though by getting the seat belt caught in the door keeping the dome light from going off at a time when the car was not used for about a week.

My mom has a 96 camry, same feature.. only if it's on the right setting. She has left her lights turned on after turning off the car and exiting it because it was on the wrong setting or something like that.

LOL you make me feel quite lucky! Im sorry that happened to you!!
 
Jillio reread. If don't deaf militants DON'T EXIST how can "SWEETMIND" be one?
Sorry to be logical.

Your body, your choice. Good luck with the CI, hope it goes well.

Aye thanks I went to the audiologist yesterday and we talked about the CI. Only one problem is that in the state law of North Carolina, my medicare insurance will not cover me for the CI because I am over 21 years old. They won't even cover senior citizens either for the hearing aids or CI. I had that same exact problem when I was getting new hearing aids while I was at RIT last fall, that my insurance (from SSI) won't cover me for my hearing aids so my mom had to help me pay for the pair of hearing aids over $30,000. Sigh...I don't know why, but it is real stupid. Since I have relatives living outside North Carolina, they may help me with their insurance to cover my surgery for the CI so...I won't be getting surgery until next summer so that I can have more time for the testing and everything else then.

It's okay. It was illogical for so many people to bash her when she is still a wonderful, warm person.

Drphil; re-read. You are still very confused about what is posted. And you have yet to define a "Deaf militant." I know of no "deaf militants". After all this time and instruction, and you still can't get the cultural designation correct.:roll:

I'm not sure what distinction you are making here. Are you somehow parsing out Deaf from deaf, acknowledging that there are Deaf militants, but not deaf militants? Are you just giving drphil a hard time about not using caps when he refers to whatever it was Marsden was getting at with regard to her definition of 'Deaf militants'? If so, you had previously used the same form when referring to sweetmind in your comment to drphil. Or maybe there's some other difference in what you define as a deaf or Deaf militant and what DrPhil is referring to.

I know of some people who call themselves Deaf militants, one of my ASL teachers self-identified as such.

In the second quote you used, I used "deaf militant" because the poster I was replying to used "deaf militant". I was not replying to drphil in that quote, but when you take things out of context, it is easy to get confused about who or what I was responding to.

The militants were all well know to id as Deaf. That was what the militant attitude was all about; their cultural identification. So yes, there are no deaf militants, but there are still Deaf militants. Not as many as there were at one time, but they still exist. The militants' objection to CI was very much a cultural issue, and a child's right to be deaf without interference from the audist perpsective of even a little hearing is better than no hearing, and that hearing is preferable to being deaf.
