    New hearing member having gone to school for deaf 30+ years ago

    I would be interested in such an endeavor but at the moment I only have internet access through my phone. One of the many cascades of unfortunate circumstances.

    Are there any gardener's in the house?

    That's wonderful. I really enjoy how gardening can keep me grounded, in the act of planting seeds is also an excersize in experiencing hope and the practice of faith. When I was young gardening was a novelty but now it's a simple joy. With gardening I pay attention to the passing of the season's...

    Are there any gardener's in the house?

    Sounds like you are having fun! I didn't mean to give you the impression that tomatoes like swampy soil. Very few plants can tolerate swampy soil. Tomatoes still need free draining soil but they are capable of drinking alot of water. Infact they do best with frequent watering since if they are...

    Well speaking from my own experience when I was 12 and found myself in a new school trying to fit in and learning a new language it was wonderful. All the people around me were incredibly understanding. It gave me insight into another world. I guess considering it's been 30 years since I've...

    I just looked up the definition of that terminology and that certainly seems likely. I haven't had to see a doctor about it since 16. But seeing there's a handful in my family with it seems probable.

    I'm sorry I don't know the name of the condition. I do have spinal stenosis in my neck and really bad arthritis. 10 years ago my spinal surgeon said I've got the neck of someone in their late 70's I'm not even 45 yet. I know for my mom the bones in her inner ear grew together and are fused...

    The truth is there more than one way to skin a cat right? Most of my growing experience is with trees and shrubs. When Carl Whitcolm's new system came out 20+years ago many nurseries were reluctant to give it credence. There was a nursery here in the Chicago area that adopted it and they found...

    Are there any gardener's in the house?

    I live in a townhouse we have a HOA. I've been secretly composting beside my deck but my neighbor asked me politely to stop because he was bothered by the smell. I also use organic fertilizer usually either fish emulsion or kelp. I find it is harder to accidentally over fertilize. I would really...

    Are there any gardener's in the house?

    My experience with tomatoes is if they have enough sun and hot weather they can handle just about as much water as you can throw at them provided there is good drainage in the soil. Are you actually growing them in the plastic bags? Not to come across as a know it all but plants roots actually...

    Are there any gardener's in the house?

    Hi. I'm a college trained horticulturist and am into pretty much all things gardening. I've maintained my own bonsai collection for 16 years. And almost all my trees were collected from the wild. I've been doing permaculture since before everyone started calling it permaculture and I graft my...

    Well hearing impairments run in my family. My ear canals were so mishapened when I was young that every audiologist test I took when the headphones were placed over my ears they pushed my ear canals closed. My grandfather, my mom, and her twin sister all had corrective surgery. By the time I was...

    Sorry for the delayed response. I remember probably 95% of how to make signs. I was fluent 30 years ago. It's actually sight recognition that I struggle with. I was hoping to find people I can participate with conversation with. Funny predicament but I need re-acquaint myself with what sign...

    New hearing member having gone to school for deaf 30+ years ago

    Hi everyone. Over 30 years ago I went to a private school for the deaf 6,7, and part of 8th grade. Through circumstances my family moved and I was sent back to public school in another state. I have only used sign language sporadically. But for 2 years I have unsuccessfully tried to reconnect...
