    Why did God pick people to be deaf?

    God did not make us deaf or hard of hearing. Why do I think that? The last two weeks have been bloody Hell for me. I made some life choices that I am not sure I should of made. Regardless, I think if you read the Genesis story, you will see that death entered into the world because of sin...

    What color is your hearing aid?

    The color of my hearing aid is tan or something like that. I knew a HoH black guy who had a brown hearing aid and we used to joke that I should get a brown hearing aid and he can get a tan hearing aid, then we should go out and confuse people.

    Play Lottery!!!

    I don't know much about Miss P's situation. Perhaps bad things do happen to her and she has very good reasons for feeling the way she does. I would guess that she is on AD to express her feelings. Is it not our problem that she is feeling miserable? Perhaps it is. On the other hand, I...

    Play Lottery!!!

    In regards to the Lottery, the lottery is designed to take money from the poor. The politicians want everyone's money, so they find ways to take your money. In regards to Miss P's desire for the "beautiful people" lifestyle, let me just say that the beautiful people are not as happy as they...

    How to deal with hearing people who become deaf? Baby boomers getting older.

    This is all speculation, but I think that the good thing that will happen when many baby boomers become hard of hearing or deaf is they will force new technologies to emerge such as voiceless telecommunication technology. Moreover, they will demand more services such as insurance coverage of...

    Deaf people stuck in elevators?

    Hell! I would do everything possible: scream, bang on the floor and walls, cry. Anyway, there is usually an alarm in the elevator. Push it, pull it, do whatever you can to get it to work. If it doesn't work, go back to my first suggestion.

    Hang-over

    The best thing to do is stay away from any Bud products. Bud is made from rice. I always eat first, then have a dark beer like Sam Adams, Newcastle, or Guinness (the best). Don't mix hard liquore and beer. And, of course, drink in moderation. It is hard sometimes, but you can play games...

    Definition of Culture

    I never bring up the subject of the definition of "deaf culture" in a conversation, or in my classes, because it is a very sensitive subject. I have never understood why Deaf scholars argue that language is the basis of culture. But they are not the only one defining their group as culture...

    Any of you ever wonder what the worst sound in the world is?

    The worst noise in the whole world are the noises foxes make during the mating season. They sound like a bunch of women being murdered. There was a den of foxes on my parent's property for several summers.

    The person below me game....

    True, my second toes are longer than my big toes. Very common among people with Irish and Scottish ancestry. Also, persons with longer second toes have werewolf potential. The person below me drinks milk with his/her pizza.

    Alarm Clocks?

    I once had a job while I was in college, during the summer, at a bakery. I had to get up at 2:00 am to go to work. At the time, I had a clock radio and I use to set the alarm clock on radio mode and turn the volume all the way up (I can't hear the alarm with my hearing aid off). My little...
