I think if you are able to work you should be working. Yes, finding a job is hard for EVERYONE. That's why it's called work.
I also think you are a hypocrite if you say "deaf are not disabled" but you get SSDI. Anyone who limits their hours at work because they want to make sure they still...
They foreclosed because they did not pay their bills. After almost 2 years of living in a house for free, I think that it shouldn't come as a shock.
Secondly, too bad life insurance doesn't cover suicide.
You are insane. There are too many adults having kids they can't take care of. I would NEVER, and no one ever should, advocate for CHILDREN to have children.
It takes a lot to damage something that was packaged appropriately. They aren't going to handle your packages like they're glass and you can't expect them to. You need to use sufficient packaging.
"Take it up with RID"? Nice attitude. You said a degree is required. It is not, as I stated. My response was not incorrect. It WILL be, yes. You did not say that in the post I quoted.

Yes, this "interpreter" did wrong. Nobody is disputing that.
I just have never understood the mentality that interpreters owe Deaf people. Interpreting is a career. Like any other career, it is a give and take relationship. There is a demand for it, we are the supply. You get my...
Depends on if you get a disability check for it or not. :giggle:
"Disability" just means "inability" which means "not able to". So you're not able to hear. So? You can still work, you can still go to school, you can still function as an average person. It is a way of life for a deaf...
I agree with the first sentence and disagree with the second. I know plenty of interpreters who don't have degrees, myself included.
I should add that I joined a study group before my written NIC test (although I kind of skated by, not reading any of the suggested reading. Oops!) and went to a...
I usually like it. Sometimes I don't when the person is very hard to understand, and the hearing person really doesn't understand them either; especially if they're calling a business and it's not a personal phone call to family/friends.
It also complicates things when the deaf person signs, in...
