It's fun to put in different names and see how they compare! My middle name (Lynne) started in 1920 and stopped in 1980. It didn't even show up after 1980! Very interesting.

No way! I hate ironing. I have burnt myself before doing that. I do the same thing knightwolf68 does if the clothes are wrinkled--put them back in the dryer for a few minutes. I also put in a damp washcloth with the wrinkled clothes.

Our dashund went crazy over carrots, lettuce, and cheddar cheese. It was easy to give him his pills--we just put it in a cube of cheese, and he would eat it right up. One Christmas, I got a pound bag of regular M&Ms. We left to go to my in-laws and after we came back home discovered that...

Was going to post a new thread about exercise videos, but saw this... I'm wondering, for those who do exercise to videos/DVDs, how long it ususally takes to get the hang of the routines. For me, since I don't usually understand what the instructor is saying, it takes awhile to figure out what...

I do genealogy so I know that I'm 12.5% Irish! No big traditions though other than making sure to wear green. My son got green bands for his braces this month, so he's already covered! My mom sends me a birthday/St. Patrick's Day card every year since my half birthday is on St. Patrick's Day!

Thanks for the welcome all! Deaflibrarian, Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore and all are all out here in the forest where I live. Seriously I do live right in the forest!! Ziusudra, yes I do enjoy using signs. I don't get to use it as much as I used to when I was in college when I hanged out with...

Very interesting thread! I'm not really too picky--hearing impaired, deaf, hard of hearing--whatever. I can use the phone to talk with people I know well, and most people can figure out my speech. (if they can't too bad!) Some people I hang out with don't like it when I call myself hearing...

I don't think that any one brand is best for everyone. The most important thing that you can do is to have a very experienced audiologist fit you with hearing aids--especially if you get digital ones. Not all audiologists out there have a lot of experience in manipulating the software to...

Yes I've noticed this exact same thing! It doesn't happen all the time, but it does on occasion.

Being HoH, I've always wondered if I had the opportunity to have normal hearing, would I would take it? I'm not so sure! Yeah, I've been in many difficult situations, but I've learned to deal with it for the most part. Without my hearing aid (I wear a BTE in my better ear), I don't hear...

I enjoy reading the variety of opinions and ideas on many different topics here, so thought that I would chime in! I'm HoH and have been mainstreamed since 4th grade. Didn't learn to sign until my mom and I took sign classes when I was a senior in HS for the fun of it. Looking forward to...
