They prolly want the site because it has a lot of members and they can sell space on the existing site to advertisers... I personally think $500,000 is a lowball bid though. Of course Alex, you could sell to the same clientele the relay company could/would sell too. It's like renting or...

Lol I don't get it, why do you think he's gay?...LOL j/k Congrats!! Hope to get there someday as well:fingersx:

I'm totally feeling your pain. I quit 2/14/2007 & every day is a struggle not to pick up a Marlboro 27. Just typing this makes me want to have one. But, I continue to remind myself that I have gone this long, I don't need to start, because that means I'd have to quit again. You're doing...

I live in Washington...most of our malls have been bought out and renovated into "Westfield Towne Centre". The only one I can think of that closed was the Pavilion Mall (Where I worked in the late 80's). I love malls. I love to people watch. It was a bit better when I could hear & I've only...

Is It The Water? There must be something in the water making all these men propose... Thank goodness I'm already married, or does this mean I'm going to be a polygamist now?? Congrats to both of you...how exciting!! What a warm and wonderful feeling to be newly engaged and have so much...

Here is what letter reads verbatim: “Doug, This letter is formal notification for termination of your employment with XXXXX, Limited effective Thursday, March 15, 2007. Termination is dut to medical leave of absence. You are eligible for rehire. Regards, District Manager

:rl: I was terminated at my place of employment today. A coworker, who is the warehouse manager, peer and friend, came to my house on the District Manager’s behalf and under the auspices of getting my feedback on how my employer is going to handle my position moving forward. (Mind you, he is...

I looked at every news and gossip source I could think of online & I could not find any article or blurb that referenced his death by suicide or homicide or any other "cide"... I wish I could have been more help. I'll keep my eyes open & if I see somethin', I'll pass it on... G’Night

Wow, I honestly can't believe the hostility and judgments going on, I mean really, please tell us how you REALLY feel. My personal opinion is if you need a helping hand, or if you legitimately cannot work you should apply. SSI has checks and balances in place to help safeguard our funds we’ve...

I too (as does Sequoias) live in King County, Washington State. We are renaming the county to from King County (named after a vice president William King) to King County (after Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.). This is costing the tax payers of Washington State $600,000.00 mostly due to...

"Making a Deaf Baby" :eek2: Making a deaf baby?!? This just is not rational. I understand common sense is relative to one's own experiences, but to use an old adage: You don't have to have had broken leg to know it hurts". What would be the purpose to deliberately hindering a child’s ability...

I think being honest without being judgmental or condescending is the right way to handle this situation. I would not confront or impugn him in the presence of others, as this could lead to an awkward and uncomfortable state. Maybe they whisper because he can't hear the difference between a...

Rude and Cheeky It is rude & cheeky to ask for a present/cash/ from anyone deaf or not. In my opinion deaf people have not cornered the market on rudeness. There is no one subset of people that is all of anything. That having been said, I do not provide a gift to anyone if it is demanded or...
