Have you done the groups? What usually happens? Is everyone in a circle talking or does everyone just kind of cluster together but remain on their laptops writing?

Has anyone started writing? I began yesterday and got to 4028 words. Now, I'm trying not to start writing again today because I have too much other stuff to do! Once I start writing, I won't stop. Hehe. 50,000 words in a month CAN be intimidating, but they recommend you aim to write 1,667...

Hey, welcome!! You're a jewelry designer as well? Do you sell anywhere? I'm on Etsy for the time being until my official website is done. ReVintaged Jewelry and Scarves by BirdcageBohemia on Etsy Perhaps, we should just pick up and move to Phoenix. I hear life is supposed to be short. At...

I am just dandy.

Yikes, I didn't mean to make it so obvious. You must have super-sleuthing skills...

Thank you!! I've been enjoying my time here.

I'm not sure which category to put this in so if I'm in the wrong spot, let me know or move me. I'm contemplating a move to Austin, TX, to be closer to my sister and go back to school. Unfortunately, I don't know anyone other than my sister in Austin and she doesn't have room in her home for...

Protein is a big one, but what drives me nuts is that a lot of people seem to think you can only get it from animals and animal based products. There's more than enough protein in vegetable based foods- all kinds of beans, chickpeas, spinach, kale, and other leafy greens, avocados, different...

I love that there's so many vegetarians here! I've been a veg for almost two years now and I'll never look back. My health is great and I feel really good about knowing I'm not harming any animals just so I can have a meal. There's just so much delicious food out there to try that most people...

No jab here. The eyelash thing is true! I think you need to have as much mascara as I usually wear to produce the sound, lol. That's the best thing I can think of. (And I'm not a hearie.)

I've been considering it for three years since I first found out about it. I really want to join a local group who meets up and writes because I know it'll motivate me more. However, I'm nervous because they're all hearing and I can't hear well in group situations!

I'm not sure I know what Clarke, CID, or St. Joseph's is. I just went to an oral school called Millridge, then transferred to another school that had TC (Total Communication) classes but I was too advanced for those classes. In fact, I was the only one there who had a hearing impairment who did...

As HoH, sent to oral school at a young age, then mainstreamed for middle school and high school, I had nearly all hearing friends plus a hearing musician boyfriend. The kicker? My parents and sister are deaf. My sister went to MSSD, then Gallaudet and have tons of friends and great life...

I can't find the original quote about getting bothered by being in a group of people and getting ignored when we want to interject something because the hearies don't want to take it upon themselves the "extra effort" of including us. I've experienced that time and time again and as a result...

I love when the social security office calls me for a review and they ask "Do you still have your disability?" I'm deaf... it doesn't go away. They should really make a note of that for every case!

He says its like a very quiet creaking sound. I do wonder though if wearing mascara might have something to do with it, all that gunk on the lashes scraping together.

Apparently, your eyelashes make a sound when you blink. I'm not sure what. They would have to be really close to your face to hear it. When I found out, I'd annoy my boyfriend by placing my face in his face and blinking a lot when he takes a nap.

From one hearing "faker" to another, welcome. I'm new here too and am relieved to find there's the possibility I could find people like me.

You should try etsy.com I started my jewelry business on there two years ago and found it to be great. They charge .20 when you list, and take something like 1% of the total cost when something sells. It's really not much at all, plus they are a great community who really strives to help sellers...

Usually, I tell people I'm HoH and I've been described as HoH by my deaf parents. Was sent to an oral school at a young age to learn to speak and wear HAs in both ears. Most people are shocked to find out I'm HoH, they usually think I'm foreign because I have a slight "accent" when I speak. But...
