Okay :) Thank you so much for answering my questions. Have a good remainder of the weekend!

Hm, yeah, I will make a note of that also. Uhm have you ever used CART? Heard good/bad things about them?

So you grew up in the hearing world..Were you happy with how you were or were you involved with other people who were deaf?

I had a speech problem until I was in 6th grade. I couldn't say my "R"s I made them sound like a "W". My teacher would dismiss me from my 6th grade class and everyone knew I was going to "speech" class, and it was horribly embarrassing at that age. I claim the teacher didn't do much of any...

Well it sure made me feel outta place, but that's okay. It's over and done with. Would you be willing to help me out with my project and just briefly tell me about your story?

I don't know if you're complaining about me getting in the hot tub or that I asked a girl what she does for a living? I figured I could say that I was getting in the hot tub because I few other people said that they were "going to Starbucks" "going to go watch CSI". It's the same concept I...

So are you from Des Moines too? What do you do for a living?

Thanks, I'll be back in a little bit, i'm getting in the hot tub. :)
