    Deaf Dating Sites?

    Try using meetup.com. If you know or want to learn ASL, there are ASL meetups. There will probably be more hearing than deaf, but at least you'll have more in common with the people here. There are also other deaf meetups that don't require ASL.

    When Listening to Music...

    First of all, cranking up any electronic device to it's max volume is going to create distortion. If you have to crank up the volume to full, assuming you can understand it at full, you need a new aid. Second, to get rid of background noise you should use either a t-coil or an FM/Bluetooth...

    Students are offended by racist college food

    The issue actually seems to be about how the food is portrayed. It seems the food is not considered authentic by name. A school cafeteria trying to make food more appealing by changing the name. I'm shocked! And, what exactly does the actress have to do with all this? I'm not sure, but I'm...

    Yet more food banned from being used with food stamp

    I disagree. It's not a choice. It's a product of the system. What is a choice is how long you stay in either group.

    Yet more food banned from being used with food stamp

    Yet more food banned from being used with food stamp

    They are not telling them how to spend their money. They are telling them how to spend tax payer money. I'm not sure about the meds. I would think that is paid for under a different plan like state health. Food stamps don't come from an insurance system.
