Exactly. I agree. Everyday, I realize that I miss out on some things by being deaf. Hearing people take their hearing for granted, and YES, I agree, if they went a week or so without hearing, they'd want to go back. There are hassles that go along with being deaf, such as having to go through...

I agree with everything you said, HelloKittyGal. I am not even expecting something wonderful and miraculous to happen with the CI. I have talked to others, and I've also talked to experts, and I fully understand that there are upsides and downsides to CI's. I understand the minimal benefits that...

But they get "around" more, which is such a big turn off.

OMG...people...u don't actually want Lurch Adams (Kerry) to be president do u? We will be SCREWED if he gets president and pulls the troops out of Iraq, allowing those terrorist rats to be free to attack us. Wise thing to do is keep Bush. Here's an article that exposes the stupid blubbering...

Welcome! :cool:

I don't really think that talking on the phone is overrated. Here at college, I see so many people with cell phones, and I wish that I could call people and talk to them like everyone else does. I would love to be able to call up my best friend whenever, instead of having to go through...

I once tried the Atkins diet back in high school cuz I wanted to lose like 10 lbs. Let me tell u...I was MISERABLE. I craved sugar so badly. I was getting so tired of eating just meat and cheese all the time, and every single day I felt like I was going on a scavenger hunt for ANY sweet things...

Yep, my cat is deaf too, or HOH...imagine that! :lol: I didn't even know that until after I adopted him and noticed that he doesn't respond to sounds at all, except maybe if I am banging an empty water bottle against my hand cuz that is very loud. He is a white cat though, and it is a common...

I know that I for one am getting tired of all the craziness of all the fast food places coming up with low carb foods! I eat carbs on top of carbs all the time, but I am still able to stay slim! Why?? Cuz I do it in MODERATION. That's how people are supposed to do it. Eat to live, not live to...

I just downloaded Artcursor, and it works :) I just wish that Photoshop would allow .cur as one of the conversions!!

I tried yahoo search, but couldn't come up with anything :( I'll try google.

I was wondering if anyone knew how to convert images to .cur files to use as custom cursors for webpages?? :ugh: I'd be forever grateful if anyone can help me out!! :bowdown:

I really appreciate all the honest comments about CI experiences here. I always like to know both the benefits, and the non-benefits, so that I can have an idea of what I should be ready for. That's right, I would really have nothing to lose by having my left ear implanted, because I haven't...

RR, yeah I grew up in a public school where all the kids were hearing. I went to a preschool where there were other deaf kids, and I signed, but then I eventually stopped signing and just talked orally. I knew signed English, but not ASL, so that's why I want to learn ASL so that I can talk to...

LOL Meg, yeah bodily noises...I've heard about that one! I can kinda hear those things with my hearing aid. I am so glad that u are able to communicate better with ur daughters and hear them playing the piano. That must be such a joyous thing for all of u to go through. :) My friend...

Of course not, illustrator. God is not punishing the parents. He isn't punishing anyone by allowing a child to be deaf.

No, God does NOT have flaws. U see, it all started with Adam and Eve. Satan caused them to sin, and that is what started all the disease, all the bad things of the world. God does NOT do anything by accident. He allows things to happen, and is always there for us. Satan is also always there...

Meg, I am really glad to know that u love it! LOL that is what I have gotten from so many others with CIs--the world is noisy. Sure would take getting used to after a while, but something that I would welcome so very much. Malfoyish, I have seen ur threads about the implant. I am really...

There is not one single answer for everyone with disabilities, because God made us all the way we are for a purpose. There's a purpose for u being deaf, there's a purpose for me being deaf. Sometimes, we may never know what the purpose was, but in the long run, it has obviously done something to...

That has always been the bigger issue with me, because I was born deaf. I have worn a hearing aid in my right ear all my life, but I still can't use the phone or things like that. The concern that I have always had was that I would have to start from scratch, like u said, but I do want to try. I...
