I suggest calling the police.

My new HAs came with a pack of 4 batteries but no, we pay for our own. I don't know about with Medicaid. Still, toffeekukki, what you describe is worse than some scene from the novel 1984. Records- in the US it is the law that doctors or other medical service providers MUST give us copies...

OUCH! That is vicious, no doubt too true, comment. It is worth keeping in mind that general breakdown of community and a lack of space to roam (decline of rural communities means people are boxed up in cities) has, indeed, made the world a more dangerous place for everyone. Parents face a...

Savage WP- I have been railing against this for years. Many individuals and the media refer to teens and 'children.' The graduating class from Parkland, FL are referred to as children. They are young adults. Immigration Services and the media refer to unaccompanied minors at the border as...

I join with Lysander and peekaboo in the rush to the blocking click. Warning- walkers try not to trip over my chair. Oh, wait. We are all in our own homes. It's still a block party! Is there a way to block particular threads?

nice thread!

This case is complicated by it being a dispute between parents. It's hard to see the dad being willing to enforce this point of the divorce decree, but I also wonder if the mom is not making too big a deal of it. If the dad has custody less than 30% of the time, rough number, it will do the...

My hearing was normal until I hit about 35, so clearly we are in different categories. I can tell, however, that I have only made one new friend since my hearing got really bad, and within 7 year after my hearing degraded a lot more, that friend drifted away as she did not feel I understood...

Lysander! here's another one for you that is just too precious.

Best plan for making friends is to tell us about yourself! Welcome.

i was going to say something snotty but you handled it with such class, Lysander.

Janet- In general it is true other schools that serve disabled kids have neutral names, the schools you mentioned in contrast: "school of the arts, Miami school for architecture and design, high school for science, culinary arts", do identify the purpose for which students attend. A deaf and...

Ask for both. They do have time to set up a class, although as others say, Nothing may happen until more interest is demonstrated by a club.

A lot of people do not know why they (we) do what they do, but if you watch a person long enough you get a truth sense of what/who they are. i feel that a lack of self-awareness is grounds for dismissal of a person... unless it is me, of course. :dunno2:

Oliver- So happy I made you smile. :) FRom what you say it sounds as though she is a pretty self-absorbed. I chose someone like that once and there was/is a lot of isolation built into a relationship like that. Caring tends to flow one way. So yeah, do it! :gorgeous: :kiss:. In the...

Yes, 'hard of hearing ' is used often in English. On this forum you will see it as HOH. ASL will work fine for you and there is a lot of it on youtube. I mean, it is a visual language of gesture so it does not 'translate ' from English. That said, it is most common here in USA. Here is a...

Your viewpoint makes utter good sense, and even if there were NO awful history with residential schools, 5 years old is way too young for a child to be separated from her family. At 8 or 9 most kids are strong enough and know enough to leave home if it is necessary, but not 5.

One thing you can do to gather more information without making "the announcement" is to start signing to her in small ways with a happy smile. It is the most fun thing in the world! Hello, goodby, I love you, no way! If she refuses to reciprocate you have one answer. Then you would need...

with soymilk on the back patio.

A person in a wheelchair will train a service dog to pick up things off the floor, dropped items I know one guy who trained his dog for wheelchair mushing. Obviously the dog will have to alert person to door bell, fire, stuff he cannot hear. Yes to special commands. You need to talk to...
