God did not make us deaf or hard of hearing. Why do I think that? The last two weeks have been bloody Hell for me. I made some life choices that I am not sure I should of made. Regardless, I think if you read the Genesis story, you will see that death entered into the world because of sin...

The color of my hearing aid is tan or something like that. I knew a HoH black guy who had a brown hearing aid and we used to joke that I should get a brown hearing aid and he can get a tan hearing aid, then we should go out and confuse people.

I love candles. I don't know why, but I do. I'll check out the candles. :beer:

I change my mind. That is a very racist comment. Who the hell do you think you are? :mad2:

I don't know much about Miss P's situation. Perhaps bad things do happen to her and she has very good reasons for feeling the way she does. I would guess that she is on AD to express her feelings. Is it not our problem that she is feeling miserable? Perhaps it is. On the other hand, I...

In regards to the Lottery, the lottery is designed to take money from the poor. The politicians want everyone's money, so they find ways to take your money. In regards to Miss P's desire for the "beautiful people" lifestyle, let me just say that the beautiful people are not as happy as they...

This is all speculation, but I think that the good thing that will happen when many baby boomers become hard of hearing or deaf is they will force new technologies to emerge such as voiceless telecommunication technology. Moreover, they will demand more services such as insurance coverage of...

Hell! I would do everything possible: scream, bang on the floor and walls, cry. Anyway, there is usually an alarm in the elevator. Push it, pull it, do whatever you can to get it to work. If it doesn't work, go back to my first suggestion.

The best thing to do is stay away from any Bud products. Bud is made from rice. I always eat first, then have a dark beer like Sam Adams, Newcastle, or Guinness (the best). Don't mix hard liquore and beer. And, of course, drink in moderation. It is hard sometimes, but you can play games...

I think I am going to Grandma's house. I have Mass in the morning and I will drive down to her house. I think my brother is comming over as well. My parents will be in Italy and my sisters will be with their families. As a priest with no family and with my parents and siblings living all...

I'm not aware of one, but you can certainly write about baseball here, The Red Sox will win it all next year. Go Red Sox!!! :cheers: Are you a football fan too? Go Patriots! :cheers:

I never bring up the subject of the definition of "deaf culture" in a conversation, or in my classes, because it is a very sensitive subject. I have never understood why Deaf scholars argue that language is the basis of culture. But they are not the only one defining their group as culture...

The worst noise in the whole world are the noises foxes make during the mating season. They sound like a bunch of women being murdered. There was a den of foxes on my parent's property for several summers.

True, my second toes are longer than my big toes. Very common among people with Irish and Scottish ancestry. Also, persons with longer second toes have werewolf potential. The person below me drinks milk with his/her pizza.

I once had a job while I was in college, during the summer, at a bakery. I had to get up at 2:00 am to go to work. At the time, I had a clock radio and I use to set the alarm clock on radio mode and turn the volume all the way up (I can't hear the alarm with my hearing aid off). My little...

I found this very interesting article about injuries caused from overusing pager devices with QWERTY keypads. http://www.breitbart.com/news/2005/10/20/D8DC4N8O0.html "Repetitive motion injuries, which have long afflicted desktop and laptop computer users, are invading the mobile handheld...

You want to know why I say, "pardon me?" When I was in school, the guys would say "WHAT" behind my back because I always said "WHAT" when I couldn't hear. One day I came home from school in tears because I got in a fight with a guy who kept saying "what" behind my back. My dad said that when...

I went to Pizza Hut the other day and the girl behind the counter was taking my order. If you have ever seen a Pizza Hut menu, you will know that some guy on acid designed it. Anyway, I asked the girl for a small cheese pizza to go. Nothing else. She said something in a very small and quiet...

7Irishking7, I can see what you are saying. Most interpreters are women. From what I have been told, there are not that many male interpreters or interpreter students. I would think that a male client might want a male interpreter at the doctor's office for some examinations. :mad2: If...

My little brother used to punch me to get my attention. I can hear enough to hear him yell my name, but I sometimes end up in "deep thoughts." He used to punch me when I would snore. We had bunk-beds. I still love him. The other day, I tried to get my teacher's attention (she is deaf) by...
