Yeah it has been four years, just got busy with the kids and life. It's good to be back though. Looking back, I wish I was more straightforward and blunt about their ignorance. Instead I listened to them and allowed them to walk all over me. I sure hope they do what is right when it comes to...

I was born with severe to profound hearing loss in my left ear and profound in my right ear. Just last year I became friends with a group of hearing women. Initially I felt welcome but lately I have been feeling angry. Three of these women have daughters that have been implanted. They were...

OpheliaSpeaks, Thank you for the link and advice.

Deaf friends and hearing people insist that I can't be deaf, I must be "hoh" because my speech is very clear with no "hints" of a hearing loss, I have good lipreading skills and can interact "normally" ...whatever that means. There are times when I need them to repeat themselves but not...

I live in Canada. So I am not sure if the laws are the same and I am having difficulty fiinding information regarding my rights. According to PADS and Lions Club of Canada, the dog must be certified by them in order to have public access. I would much rather train my own dog to assist me than...

I had twin girls (hearing) that were born 1 month premature. I taught them sign language as soon as I could. This resulted in less fustration on their part and mine. Both girls said their first word verbally at 6 months and very quickly picked up speech. They were used in studies done by our...

For Cleansing, I use Avon Clearskin. Makeup, I use Merle Norman (Powder, Lipstick, Mascara) For Moisturizing, I use Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula. I prefer to go au natural, but on special outings I'll put on my "face."

When my girls were born, I talked and signed at the same time. Because of the early start, my girls were signing at 3-4 months old. Our house was nice and quiet. They never threw temper tantrums, because they were able to express themselves, and I was able to understand. Their first vocal word...

LOL Oh I don't mind answering your question. The upside to Dale: When I was severely depressed, and admitted to the hospital, he visited me everyday. When my parents kicked me out, he took me in. When I was drunk and about to go home with some stranger, he dragged me kicking and...

My experience was quick and painful. I was induced, (forced labour), after being medicated, my contractions started at 1pm. By 4pm I was screaming for drugs. The doctors waited for my water to break, but it never did, so they ended up having to do it for me. At 7:02, my first daughter was...

My husband and I own a Toyota Corolla 2001. We love this car, it's great for our small family. We plan on buying a new car, which will most likely be a Honda or another Toyota.

Where do I start? At the age of 16, I met a guy "Dale" who was 20. I was physically attracted to him. We became just friends. When I was 17, Dale asked me out for a date. We dated for about three months...nothing beyond kissing. But still remained friends. On my 18th birthday, we did...

To be honest, I have never been in that situation before....knock on wood. If I walked in on my husband cheating on me, I hope I leave.. before I do something I might regret. Realistically, I would probably pull her off my husband, and throw her out, naked and all. As for my husband.. uhm...

Cooldeaf, all three of your kids are gorgeous. They look very similar to you.
