    Adults profoundly deaf that have has cochlear implants

    MSteve, I am an adult who was born profoundly deaf and got the implant at the age of 26. My background: I wore hearing aids since I was 18 months old, raised orally. I rely on lipreading mainly. The main benefit of hearing aids for me was environmental noise. There wasn't that much difference...

    Not a pet but sick raccoon; what to do?

    Glad Animal Control showed up! Hopefully they will end the suffering faster. It would have sucked to know that it's just withering away in an extended period of time. I'm so glad you were proactive!!! :)

    Not a pet but sick raccoon; what to do?

    My partner got back to me and said to contact Animal Services (which I assume is the same as Animal Control that Reba contacted?) and they usually come and put it down. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Animal Control/Services has not gotten back to Reba, correct? My partner also said that it is very...

    Not a pet but sick raccoon; what to do?

    Thanks for giving me a heads up, Jiro. Reba, it sounds like this raccoon is probably beyond the point of recovery, but one option to try is call a wildlife rehabilitator. There usually are voluntary groups in major cities. I'm not sure where you live, but I did a quick google search. South...

    Lip reading....

    Aww, thats sweet. I do have to say that I think it's a bit odd that she used "cat" and "bat" as an example. I personally think that is a terrible example. Better examples: - Crate vs Great - Dead vs Ted - Fifty vs Fifteen - Pee vs Bee - Maybe vs Baby and so on.....

    U.S. troops killed and wounded amid Afghan protests over Koran burning

    I understand. Wouldn't you expect an apology from your government/military for burning the Bibles?

    U.S. troops killed and wounded amid Afghan protests over Koran burning

    ???? I have a problem with 2 things in this post: 1) "ludicrous it is to apologize for unintentional mistakes to people" Huh? If I bump into someone unintentionally, I shouldn't say I'm sorry? 2) "how ludicrous it is to apologize for unintentional mistakes to people who cannot be reasoned...

    Why Are Men Dominating the Debate About Birth Control for Women?

    Doesn't it say a lot that if a man gets shamed and shunned for having sex, it's only because he had sex with a very young girl (or boy for that matter)?? And some of them even get away with it? What does that tell you?

    Animal Rescuers?

    My girlfriend got me into rescuing animals. I've always loved animals, but I can be allergic to them. I just needed a push. We just fostered a puppy and found her a home. We also do wildlife rehabilitation. We just rehabbed 2 squirrels and will release them within a month. I have 2 cats and 2...

    Why Are Men Dominating the Debate About Birth Control for Women?

    Not saying that men get disrespected, but to the same degree of extreme taboo, shame, and disgrace as women? Usually, men caught in the act just has people rolling their eyes and lost the respect of people. Women would be LUCKY to get this slap in the wrist. Even now... admit it, women get a...

    Deaf Parents of Deaf kids

    Audiofuzzy, I personally don't believe that there is any "solution" that would make it easier for a deaf person in EVERY SINGLE POSSIBLE EVENT, whether it's CI, ASL, etc. If one goes only CI, anyone can find a flaw. Same for going all deaf with ASL. It's very common for someone to point out...

    Why Are Men Dominating the Debate About Birth Control for Women?

    Wow... this is pretty bad... how do you not see how bad this is? You do realize there has never been taboo, shame, and disgrace for men in regards to sex at all? (in America) How do you feel about that? Please... please don't tell me that's what Mother Nature intended...... I will just...
