    What was your favorite candy as a child?

    I started 6 threads. My apologies for asking about two of them. Perhaps that is a big mistake. But thanks for posting the pictures. I just wanted to bring back childhood memories. You guys take care. :)

    Why share news on Facebook?

    I think more than anything it's just personal expression. On the bombings, most of my friends are expressing their hurt, their sorry and their fears. On sporting events, they are rooting for their favorites. I see no harm in it. It's the same as if you were with them. They will say...

    So Lucky....to be alive.

    RR I'm so glad that the guy was a bad aim and didn't get your son. And I'm glad that your son was a GOOD aim and got the guy pretty good. Sounds like he must have broken the guy's nose if the result was two swollen eyes!! :D I bet that is what hindered him from getting away - the pain is...

    What's Your Night Out Tonight?

    I run a couple of websites so it's pretty much a guarantee that I'm on the computer. I usually will leave it on and will do my usual evening activities such as cleaning, playing with the dogs and cats as well as cooking and spending time with my kids and husband. I don't watch TV so when they...

    How should I handle this?

    Today is the third day in a row that he has not teased me about my hearing. He doesn't speak much but he's not being rude. He's been polite though. I have a feeling that someone from my dept mentioned something to him because suddenly, it's stopped. Thanks for all of the suggestions...

    I am not saying that you are depressed, I'm just saying how I handled it in order for me, myself not to fall into a depression. And yes, I agree that you should ALWAYS get the most information as you can! ALWAYS be informed! I hope you didn't think that I was saying to stop educating...

    Day one

    It's very scary, yes indeed. I went from hearing normal to getting an ear infection. Then one month later, I went from hearing normal to having hearing aides in a matter of ten days. I think a majority of us here who have had hearing and then lost it got scared. We all asked questions...

    How should I handle this?

    So I saw the guy today and was alone with him. He didn't say anything in regards to my being HOH or start joking around. He was actually nice today. This is the first time since others found out about my hearing. I'm wondering if one of the people in my dept mentioned it.

    How should I handle this?

    My work location has 450 employees, so having four of us is not really a big deal. We also have two autistic people working for us as well. We work in a warehouse. He mimics my friend that enunciates. I dont' want him fired, so there is no reason to go as far as a lawyer. The reason my...

    How should I handle this?

    We have two profound deaf people at my work and one other additional HOH. The profound do not orally speak, but one of them does try to enunciate sounds. The HOH person does speak orally and so do I. Both of us HOH are late in losing our hearing so we both do not have deaf accents. He does...

    How should I handle this?

    Giving him a warning and a chance to redeem himself is a good idea. I don't know why I didn't think of this. If I had the authority to do so, I would want to believe he would not have said it to me! Firing him for words I think would be not according to our union contract. You need to give...

    Day one

    Wow, that's great coverage! A lot of insurances won't cover any of it at all!! I went with the Phonaks Q. Being "new", they will be arriving in five days! I understand that Costco has rebranded Siemens. They are less expensive as well. Maybe that's something that you can look into. I...

    How should I handle this?

    I don't want to get my co worker in trouble so I won't report it to the boss. When I found out that I needed the HAs, I decided not to try to hide it. So I told the people in my dept first. A small group of 7 people, we are pretty close and have been a means of support for each other...

    Day one

    Granted, I don't have the loss that you have but I do have mild/moderate on both sides. When I had to turn mine in over a week ago, I felt that I might miss out on the things that I was getting used to, especially since I had them in for a whole week. But by the end of the day, I felt...
