Thought about it, but when the only thing that changes is being up front about being deaf, you can pretty sure that's it.

I agree, but that's what we have to deal with because it's not their place to understand. It is our place to make them understand.

I wish it were different, but it is not.

Again: I have to agree with this.

However, I'm afraid, we are well past that point.

Dude, your friends will stay with you and your acquaintances will not. Every once in a while, you need to clean out the friendship closet.

This has been a good learning experience. I certainly...

Call your mother? If you mean that in a threatening way to do your mother harm, I would tell the police immediately. On the other hand, if they mean to have your mother have a, "talk" with you I...

This is just a reality of being hearing impaired.

I just continue to gently remind people to face me. Eventually, they start saying sorry which means they understand. In the end, that's all I...

At the heart of this thing is a scared kid, I think the truth here lies somewhere in between.

Regardless, the law is pretty clear.

I think you need to lead by example in this case. If I were you, I would learn ASL first, if you do not already know it, and use it when talking with your Mom(not ASL alone, speech and ASL).

I don't think Grummer is attacking people with Down. He just wants deaf students to learn at the speed they are supposed to learn.

In my special classes there was no segregation and the classes...

It's a good question. I don't know for sure, but since Simpson lost the case the dealer probably got them back.

But, that doesn't prove whether they were stolen or not, if that is what you are...

My opinion doesn't cost anything and you do not have to take it.

I do get a sound night's sleep and the lack of noise certainly helps.
