I was diagnoised years ago as having ADHD, and have been re-diagnoised a couple times since. And, certainly, I have a lot of the symptoms. My forgetfulness and day-dreaming affect my day to day life in a big way (another car wreck this last week because I cannot keep my brain on task). While I...

Hey! I'm really new to building websites, in fact, I have never even thought of trying such a thing before just recently. My husband has his own business, and is really busy, but he really wants to have a website for the business. Since he doesn't have the time, I'm going to do it for him...

I have been, for the last month or so, laboring under the delusion that I was to get new hearing aids. The ones I have are no longer working for me, and I badly need new hearing aids of the 'behind-the-ear' type. I had applied to a program here in KY that helps provide hearing aids to people...

My husband and the small circle of friends who have read my poems all insist they should be published, which I am thankful for and which I find very pleasant to know. But, the problem is that I can't get it out of my head that they are just being kind, and while I reallllyyyyy appreciate that, I...

Now, I don't mean what kind of animal would you like to be (even though, you can include that too, if you want). I mean what kind of animal do you think you would be if you were to look at your personality traits and choose an animal based on that? I think I would be a dog. Because I tend to...

Since I started going deaf relatively recently, I am still new to some of the oddities of human behavior on that point. For instance, I didn't realize that a lot of drive-through food places will give you trouble if you ask to order at the window. I've tried to order at the window (instead of...

Um....scratch that...it was a depression fueled question. I'm sorry.

Obviously, I'm not talking about under-age girls dating 40-year-old men. I'm talking about legal, but sizeable age gaps. My husband and I are 16 years apart. I'm 23 and he's 39. We are very happy and very much in love. We rarely argue, and when we do, it's never a yelling sort of thing. How many...

My mother-in-law has been talking about wanting to get a Cairn Terrier. I've read up on them, but can't decide whether they'd be a good dog for her or not. Obviously, she can get it if she chooses too...but she told me to find out about what they are like first. She likes the look of them but...

My little girl is 7 months old. She is my precious, my darling, my dear. She is so very sweet, affectionate, funny and just plain wonderful. Except when it's time to lay down. It doesn't matter how tired she is. It doesn't matter if it's for a nap or if she's laying down for the night. It...

MY mother is coming to town. I haven't seen her in about six months, so you would think this would be a joyful occasion. I love my mother but I am terrifed and sick to think she going to be here, bringing all her tense energy to my peaceful little home. I know this sounds horrible. Please...

I know there are amps. to help with my hearing loss...though now I am at a severe hearing loss level, and those may not help forever. Still, I was wondering, is there anything in particular that can help with not only making sounds louder...but making them less messy sounding? Thanks so much for...

I know this may seem like a silly question, but I'm really not sure. I am severly hoh and I am finding that not only is everything extremely muted...but even when my ASL teacher wears an amplifier, it sounds jumbled...I really don't know a better word for it. It's just...unclear and messy...I...

I am not even sure if this is the right place to put this question, but I'll give it a shot. I live in KY and there is this program called 'Hear Now' which helps provide hearing aids to people (like me) who can't afford them. The problem is that my husband is a little suspicious that this may be...

We had to put the dog down yesterday. I'm still crying over it. She wasn't 'mine' technically. But we have been living with my in-laws for the last seven months, and so, it feels like Mattie was just as much my dog as theirs. I miss her a lot. She was this great, big Chocolate Lab (by big I mean...

Well, before I start, I would like to say that I don't normally grovel in self-pity...espeically over my loss of hearing. But, I am having a bad night tonight, and I need to vent, and, hopefully, I'll feel a little better. I've had progressive hearing loss for 3-4 years now for an unknown...

:wave:Hullo. I am severly hoh. It is likely (though, I suppose not definate) that I will be completely deaf in the near future. The problem is that I don't know why I'm losing my hearing. I still feel confused and a little lost a lot of the time, especially when I go into public situations...

Hullo! I am a hard-of-hearing mommy of a five-month-old beautiful baby girl. Since my hearing loss is progressing, I am finding that I simply cannot hear my baby unless I'm right next to her, and even then it is extremely muted. We just moved her into her own room (she had been sleeping with me)...

Hey there! I'm new to the site, and I just wanted to introduce myself. I am a 23-year-old mommy and wife from southern USA. I I am a stay-at-home mommy, I like to knit, garden, make bread, write, read, and work with animals. Above all, I love my baby and my husband! I was born hearing, but I...
