Do anyone of you have a motion detector that alerts you by a flashing lamp? I know it may not be perfect. I just had a weird brain storm while eating my dinner. I was wondering if a motion detector would be good to put by my driveway to alert me of my bus pulling into my driveway..... Of...

Even though I've been deaf all of my life, I never could afford to buy the door and phone alerting devices. I need help here, as I have no clue about these products. I have no doorbell, but would like to have a doorbell that is wireless. I'd like to have my lights in my house to flash when...

I am completely deaf and hear absolutely nothing. I've had alarm clocks that vibrate for many years and they had never failed to wake me from my slumber. In the last year or so, my Chronic Fatigue Syndrome has made a real mess. It's a hit and miss whether my alarm clock wakes me up because...

:wave: I am in need of a VCO phone. I cannot find a cordless version and I'm tired of being chained to the desk at the wall when I have to make phone calls. I'm so retarded on internet phones.... Of course, my husband is very cheap, so I will not be able to be spendy for a phone. But, I...

I have a Frenchie-Pug, a mix between a French Bulldog and a Pug. Yes, he's a real cutie! He's 7 years old now. We had so much trouble with housetraining because of the fact that I'm deaf and he just plain won't tell me when he needs to go, body language-wise. That problem is sort of solved...

I may not be on StrokeNet very much for awhile because my husband just lost his job. He probably need the laptop more and we only have one laptop. I'm freaked out because COBRA costs so much to pay for. Last time my husband lost his job, the payment was over $500, which matched our mortgage...

I'm having an eye exam done on Thursday. I need new prescription glasses. The exam is going to be done by an opthalmalogist, since I haven't had an eye exam since before I had my brain lesion 5 1/2 years ago. In these situations, the doctor will put eye drops to dilate the pupils. And...

Why Why Why Why.... am I still getting occasional video that is not closed captioned or even subtitled for the hearing impaired/deaf?????? This pisses the shit out of me. :devil: I thought all NEW movies are to be captioned/subtitled. Whatever little loophole they can go by makes a little...

:ugh: I have been so sick with vertigo attacks lately. We don't know for sure, but there's a brain involvement in this. I went to an ENT 2 1/2 years ago, who told me that my ears are fine and that my brain is doing it. So off to a neurologist, I tried Antivert, Dramamine, Scop Patch...

:(:sadwave: Since I was raised in the hearing world without any sign language, I had been disconnected from the world of the Deaf culture for many years. I have gone through things that no one should ever go through when I was growing up. I'm not talking about the injustices of being...

Does anyone use the Wii Fit or Wii Fit Plus? How do you like it? I love it. For the step-dancing, I wish the rhythm music would make the wii-mote (the remote) vibrate, so we could stay in rhythm. But overall, it's fun. I like to run in place with the Wii Fit. I even have the Jillian...

Have you ever seen that movie, "Johnny Mnemonic?" I believe it was in the early '90's when that came out. Loved that movie. When I first saw that movie, the act of inserting a jack into his head reminded me of the cochlear implants, even though it's nothing like it at all. But, still...

When I was six years old I made up a word that happened to be a cuss word, and my parents tried to get me stop saying it. I would say it over and over. LOL. :giggle: It was such a weird paradox for me because all the adults were bending their backs to get me to learn how to speak. Of...

Has anyone has had any late manifestations of Congenital Rubella Syndrome? I was a Rubella baby and was born blind in my left eye and profoundly in both ears. I also was born with a serious heart defect that was corrected by open-heart surgery when I was 6 months old. Four years ago, I...

:iough::shrug::tears: All this technology and I have very few. Besides, they cost too much. I don't know much sign language, either. I have never had a cell phone, pager, or anything like that. All I have is my VCO/TTY phone, the Relay, and my laptop. I have a Palm Treo that I recieved...

:hmm: I took the basic sign language class twice in my early 20's. The class was taught by an experienced interpreter. I had no trouble with reading the hand signs, but I had so much trouble with reading fingerspelling. When I see the fingerspelling, it's like I'm seeing a crazy blur of...

:deaf: I was born blind in my left eye and profoundly deaf in both ears. I was raised in the hearing world and taught how to speak without being taught any sign language. I went to college at Purdue University and studied biology for a year and a half before I had to drop out when I was 20...
