As far as I can see if you do the crime...you should do the time, whether that means a fine, jail time, loss of job, etc. Just because your a cop, I don't care State or City, doesn't mean your exempt from normal responsibilities, and the female cop understood this. Kudos to her, but we all have...

I remember when that cantankerous old man was one one of the best things on 60 minutes....since growing up we kids had to watch him Sunday nights. He always said it just like he thought it and didn't care who agreed or didn't for that matter. He will be missed sorely.... God bless you.

This why I am glad I go to college. I forgot horrid worker stories. I wonder if this what teaching high school is going to be like, only in that case it might be student stories I guess.:hmm:

I have to do morning since I have morning classes, but until I have my coffee I don't just have morning ears I have morning everything. It's like the sign at the zoo, "Don't feed the bears"...that's me in a nutshell in the morning without my coffee. Ironic thing is it's decaf.:lol:

Insomnia sufferer here also. I easily only sleep 2 to 3 hours a night. But if I take sleeping pills I am down for 7 hours. Now if I'm sick then I can sleep for days.

I learned the benefits of patience.........my daughter informed me, while I am 1500 miles away that she is having a little problems at school..........she got a D on one of her tests because she has been fooling grandma, telling her she has been doing her homework when really she has been on...

:wave:Hey Gally girl, welcome to AD!

Learned how much I miss thisplace.........been off for a very long time between kids, jobs and getting ready to go to college at *gasp* the age of 38..........I didn't have time. Coming back reminded me that there are others that know exactly what I mean. Thanks to everyone here.

I had one recently..........a man asked me why I need those words (closed captioning) on the tv if I can't hear the tv...............Since he was a very much older man (@75-80) I chewed my tongue. But my inclination was to say very sarcastically "I'm sorry I read those words so I understand...

I just read The Mask of Benevolence and realized how long this debate has been raging....Napoleon's Admin Director of the Paris National Institute for Deaf-Mute described deaf children as "isolated, detached, fickle, capricious, superficial, unimaginative, complacement...." and the list goes on...

I have a friend who has a Blackberry 8900 and she wants to be able to use the TTY service to contact me on my TTY line, but she doesn't know how it works. If anyone can give me some advice for her I would appreciate it.

Question, how do you approach a new landlord and tell them about your hearing problems. When I watch tv or worse when I listen to music, I have a bad habit of turning up the volume to where it's comfortable to me and I know that is not necessarily in the same range as normal for most. I am...

TXgolfer, I understand your point of view well. Daft, you know what you must be the most well balanced person in all of humanity if you think that this easy to deal with. Also, you must be the only one who never has issues with others dealing with your hearing problems adversely. I have had...

I love music even when I don't understand the words, (thank you Lyrics.com I now understand the words to my favorite the songs). Whether I wear my HA's or not words are not good with me, my loss is where most people speak. But, music is the great equalizer, whether you like Bach or Tu-Pac, music...

I'm HOH and it's okay because all the children I have taken care of think it's ordinary for an adult to not hear okay. They think any hearing problems are cool. As my (adopted) 3 year old says it's cool cause I get to turn off my ears.
