Hi all, I know I haven't been around for awhile, been busy being stressed out. :eek3: And the fun continues -- I just snapped my eyeglasses in half. Fortunately I can get new eyeglasses with insurance but unfortunately I can't get the same kind -- progressive eyeglasses. I will have to...

One of my cats is pacing back and forth in front of the kitchen sink throwing dirty looks at me. I just finished cooking and I only made vegetarian dishes tonight. No meat, chicken or fish tidbits for her. That is what she usually gets when I do my marathon cooking once or twice a week...

Hi, I'm posting this for a friend: That's all I know and, no, I don't know why there is so little lead time. I do know who Timothy is though and I think you can all be comfortable that he is not doing this to collect e-mail addresses and spam you. He probably got the request because he...

Somehow my apt. got infested with houseflies. My two cats are usually very good at killing the odd bug or flea but they are useless right now. I suppose they are either on strike or have decided to adopt the pests as pets. :mad: Nothing works more than once. I put out a container of...

Just a few random musings -- == I went to a relatively small Thanksgiving celebration with eight people. As long as I had line of sight, by combining lip-reading with my hearing aids I understood most of what was being said most of the time. I even understood the two 6 year olds...

I went to an HLAA meeting tonight and chatted afterwards with someone fairly new to hearing loss. One of the things we talked about was how differently Hearing and HH people hear and communicate. For me, life-long HH person, this is based on a lot of speculation. For her, life-long hearing...

Huh? :D I thought it would be fun to make up sentences with signs that look very much alike. Here are links that describe how to sign: Computer Church Chocolate Add some of your own!

Anyone want to meet at anyone of these free street fairs in NYC? They are happening during Oct and Nov 2011. I and another ADer (I'll let her post if she wants to) had already planned on meeting at the one on October 15 in Soho. But I see that KStilleto had just posted about a Deaf get...

My dad has trouble hearing over the phone. He lives in Illinois and I had learned from this forum that he’s eligible to getting a free telephone from the Illinois Telecommunication Access Corporation (ITAC). (Thanks Jane B.! :) ) The telephone options are listed here: ITAC - Equipment...

I worked yesterday for the Board of Elections as a poll worker. I mostly do that to help monitor how the new style machines are working. * It turned out that one of the voters was deaf, I asked her if she signed and I was able to have a short conversation with her. She was stunned, she was...

At this web site: asl.bz I’m having trouble “receiving” numbers that are 4 digits or longer correctly. Up to 3 digits I usually have no problems. I’m doing much better with “receiving” fingerspelled words at asltrainer.com. I think that's because I’m sounding off the letters to myself...
