lysander's public sex life consists of posts like this. Which are fucking amazing!

yes, I remember. I sing to myself even though I can barely hear my voice. Keep Beethoven in mind.

Ahh. 25. 10 years ago I broke my neck and am now in a wheelchair. Since then my hearing has gotten so much worse i can only converse with my new HAs in quiet rooms with one, or maybe 2 people. Physical changes are scary because we identify with our bodies. I can tell you from knowing people...

I feel especially awkward about difficulty with accents. So many people with accents feel unhappy about not doing better with English, and while I explain I'm HOH, I know many take it personally. Here in Socal I sometimes say, in Spanish, I don't understand Spanish or English speakers. I'm...

While I did not want to grow up to be like my dad, it happened anyway.

Probably not. Tinnitus bothered me a lot in my 40s, but it backed off as I got healthier. Health problems and nutrition that is not appropriate to YOUR body and health are stressors. It is worth thinking about and experimenting with.

I spend more time on spinal cord injury forums and we have lengthy discussions about "when have I suffered enough?" The chronic pains some people must live with are debilitating and the longer you endure it, the harder it can be to continue. Restrictions on opioids has made this worse and...

Dude, Bienvenidos. How old are you? Do you meet many foreigner travelers where you live?

You offer examples of what could happen then describe them as though the definitely did happen. I find this purposefully misleading. There is always reason to fear anyone having life and death power over another. That situation will always exist in some form. Previous to the last 20 or 30...

My situation is similar though I find I can use the phone if I use my computer and my Grady headphones. Expensive at $200 but they work! As to not belonging? I've gotten used to not belonging anywhere. One must, at times.

After the story of her wanting to talk to strangers at the airport I'm suspicious that the MIL uses her annoying behaviors to be the center of attention. Dunno, and I guess strangers on the internet should know when to shut up their fingers...

Evie- I see on your profile you check in now and then, though not since April :cry: Still, this may be useful to others. There is a video that shows hearing people what hearing loss actually sounds like to us. Unfortunately it is available only on Facebook, where you must have an account to...

My brother in law once found his neighborhood black bear straddling his driveway. He honked. He got out and yelled at it. The bear kept its back to him and just sniffed the air, enjoying the morning. Finally John got back in his car and rolled up to nudge the bear, ever so gently. It...

Truth_seeker's answer is a good one. I'm married to a Black guy and after 25 years I am still as White in my controlled way of being as I ever was. I've seen videos of myself and cringe at the difference. My communication does not look genuine, it comes from my heart but then passes through...

I think it appropriate to step back and generalize about mothers-in-law, be they deaf, blind, lovely or ugly. She is of an older generation and will not be please to be "corrected" by you for anything, let alone her usual way of communicating. The normal route to take if something bothers you...

I'm happy for you.

It sounds like you are attracted to "normal'. Try wearing T shirts that say "dyke"?

A few points- 1. Every generation must learn to live their lives without being dominated by fear. This includes developing thicker "skin" so you worry less about how others may judge you. Yes, this is a strange time when many people feel policing one another's thoughts is a noble calling...

Two ways to see that- showing your emotions can be an act of manipulation, but it can also be a way to communicate full information. Assuming it is manipulative can leave you poorly informed.
