Gave up with motor bikes cos the roof leaks!

Laugh, I nearly wet myself. Seeing the fabulous pictures of the hi children was wonderful. Kids really can teach us oldies a lesson. Forget the problem, get on and play. :-)

Hi all Where I live in the UK, we don't even use a zip code, cos we all know each other :-) The last time I showed an ID card was when I was in the military, 20+ years ago! We tend to use the old fashioned method, it's called honesty and trust. Well most of us anyway!

If you can have brothers for pets, can I put my son down as one as well? He sure is harder to look after than my dog Max! maximum name - minimum dog!

Hi Deaf drummer When you blow against a resistance as with your musical instrument, you alter the shape of your eardrum. (it bulges out slightly). This increases the sensitivity of the sound transmitted across the ossicular chain and thus onto the oval window of the cochlea. A lot of people...

Hi have a look at (deafbusiness.org) I started my own business about 17 years ago and sold it (for a handsome profit) three years ago. I have started another one now and it's going really well. Good think about the web, you don't need to hear to be successful. Go for it and good luck

Hi Silvermask I have met loads of people over the years with a reason to be isolated. All of these people are hiding behind their difference as an excuse not to interact with other people with or without the same complaint. You love art! so go to art studies, don't look for just deaf art studies...
