    Hearing test for a 2 year old?

    Well, my son is two and hardly talks. He prefers to sign. Our immediate family is all hearing, but I signed to him since he was a baby. He had to have an evaluation because he doesn't talk much. The therapist seems to think he may be hard of hearing because of the way he talks. I know he can...

    Would you eat ______ banana?

    I like my bananas to be slightly green. I prefer that taste. Green bananas are also good for digestive illnesses.

    Real Estate

    A house is definetly a good investment. But beware of duplexes or multi-family properties. They can be cheap to buy, but really hard to sell when the time comes. My dad has worked in real estate for a long time, and that's what he tells me. We are closing on our first home in less than a...

    As A Child, What Was Your FIRST Sign Language?

    My son's first sign was "more" which i think he learned about 8 months old. He's almost two now and communicates mostly through sign, even though we're all hearing.

    How do you feel about "deaf wannabees"?

    I honestly think this would have to be some sort of mental illness or personality disorder. I just find it bizarre. It's a case of "Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it". LIke when I was a small child, I thought it would be neat to have a broken leg and get crutches and have...

    Household chores

    I vote for vacuum. I like it because I use the vacuum a lot with my messy son who sprinkles crumbs everywhere. I just let him make a big mess then I can vacuum it all up in less than a minute. He's just a toddler, so he can't help his messy self. Plus, I use the vacuum for sucking up all the...

    Laundry

    I hang most things to dry year-round. I have a clothesline in my basement where the laundry is. I will use the dryer for a few minutes to get the wrinkles out though.

    How many people here are NOT deaf?

    Well, as a hearing person, there are certainly times when I wish I could "turn off" my hearing for a while. Like when my hubby is snoring away in bed, or when the baby cries and whines during and car trip and you can't very well stop to cuddle him every 5 minutes like he wants. Or when you're...
