I finally got a sidekick II last night. Apparently one of the stores already had it in stock so instead of waiting on the one nearest to me to stock up in it in the next 2 to 3 days, I went ahead to that other place and bought it! Thanks again! Yes, I will enjoy being fiancee for three...

Awwwww, Thanks all of you... It's been a special one indeed. I'm still waiting on the sidekick II to arrive in stores so I can purchase one for my personal use (for people to page me if they need to). There's no way for me to order it online since I don't have ANY credit cards or whatever so...

I'd rather get married because of how I was raised. My parents have raised me to believe that I should marry rather than live with someone of the opposite sex. This is why I'm not living with any males at this time, and this is why I don't share an apt with my fiance yet (in fact, I won't be...

I've been pretty busy lately but anyways, I just wanted to let you all know that zacho817 has finally proposed to me last Sunday. I've accepted and the agreed wedding date is Oct. 2007 (we haven't decided on which Saturday yet). I had a birthday two days ago. It was a busy day for me seeing...

I'm not sure actually... It's just people I'm not around anymore all of a sudden are saying that I'm a little harder to understand than I was a year ago- people like my mom or LaJo. So maybe it's not me... Maybe it's just their hearing has gotten used to not listening to me cuz I'm not home...

I can speak and lipread well. Though my speech has been slowly getting to the point where I have to repeat myself to be understood lately so I have to either decide to become silent for life (not use voice anymore) or go back to speech therapy... I haven't quite decided either yet, but I think...

Huh? Hmmm, ain't going to that this year... I dunno if I will have time to do so the next few years...

I haven't had any problem with my VR counselor for the past two years I've had her. However, this past spring, she's taken on a new job and had to retire from being my counselor, so I'm without a counselor at the moment. The supervisor is handling my case and all the cases she handled until...

I know what you mean. I have had to deal with that all summer (he's only 1 1/2 hour away and I miss him so much). Since then, I have learned patience and I'm getting used to being away from him that I'm getting to the point where it takes me more than a day or two to start missing him badly...

Go ahead, that won't affect my post count at all... I'll only lose maybe one or two posts at the most? Up to five I think.

hm... From my experience, both worlds can be frustrating, confusing, etc. for me... I think it is sad that some deaf people do not learn to speak English well (or write it) because they only know asl. Other times, i meet many deaf who can write and speak English very well. I find it the same...

I am when it comes to my car or having an organized/neat room. I don't like having a major mess except when unpacking or cleaning. I CANNOT stand to see bird poop or dead bugs on my car's windows or even on my car at all... So I am a clean freak usually.

Ah, that happens to me once in a while depending on my moods and the situations. Like if I'm kept waiting too long to speak, then I forget sometimes. Or if I'm tired, i'm more forgetful.

Iraq's still in war? I thought that war was finished??? By the way, back on track - have fun while you're gone, BabyPhat... tell us all about it when you get back and do check in once in a while to say HEY.
