    Random Vents.....

    Document, document, document. Since she has a route, it shouldn't be too hard for you and your neighbors to organize a recording cabal, even if it's just your cell phone cam recording through an open window for a half hour when she's expected. Though try to be inconspicuous and as anonymous as...

    Most amount of money you've found? (in $ US)

    Where I work, its not unheard of to find money though if it was over a certain threshold I usually turned it in. If no one came back for it, it was usually given back to me. I've found 20$ a couple times. And while it's not "found" money, I did have a woman insist on tipping me $50 a few years...

    Enrolling KODAs in a State Deaf School's PreSchool Program?

    Jade, as he had mentioned previously, their first language (L1) is ASL, which being KODA makes perfect sense; it is through contact with others that they've begun picking up a second language (L2), English. As he has also stated, the kids are linguistically delayed. How does he endeavor to...

    Enrolling KODAs in a State Deaf School's PreSchool Program?

    All great issues that you've brought up about applied linguistics/second language acquisition, but a few more issues that might push your cause one way or the other: Budgetary/Capacity Constraints- If this school makes space for three hearing kids, do they take the spots of three deaf/HOH kids...

    Widex Clear Prices

    Kendi, I'm also in Pinellas and have an appt with a new audi on Friday (3rd times the charm) so if it's what is recommended, I can relay you my quote after. Posted from Alldeaf.com App for Android

    Whats your dream location?

    In the US, my dream place would be wherever Tim Tebow lives : ) Outside US, I like Sitges in Spain. It's a very gay friendly resort town like Provincetown, and I'd be able to get my Spanish back up to snuff and expand my meager Catalan. Posted from Alldeaf.com App for Android

    Awesome Audi Visit

    Green- The audi (whom I shall call Audi #2, since she succeeded Bait And Switch Audi mentioned in my initial post) made the initial contact/referral to the USF Program, and on whatever paperwork she submitted, she marked me down as interested in CI only. The only real contact I ever initiated...

    Awesome Audi Visit

    My insurance is awesome on HA coverage. 500+10% is what I pay. When my first audi billed insurance for $6800, my total out of pocket would have been $700, because they have contractual discounts with network providers. That first audi simply decided she hadn't ever signed a contract and tried to...

    Your opinion about Oregon

    Admittedly never been to OR, but being the poorest out of three states is a rather small and unhelpful comparison. Now, if it was closer to NM or WV in terms of $$ then that'd be a genuine concern as those two are usually the poorest of the 50. Posted from Alldeaf.com App for Android

    Your opinion about Oregon

    I'm not too familiar with BYU but I believe if GLBT are celibate and otherwise follow the honor code, they can be openly gay. I remember seeing an It Gets Better video from GLBT students there...though it was definitely one of the bleakest videos I saw. Liberty, which was founded by Jerry...

    Awesome Audi Visit

    I had looked at the US counterpart to that page but sadly none of the listed providers that are local are in my insurance network. But thanks for the thought! Posted from Alldeaf.com App for Android

    Awesome Audi Visit

    Ugh...not so awesome anymore : ( WTF #1: After waiting for a follow-up message from the USF contact after initial messages, the response I got was basically "Oh, we were told by your audi that you were interested in CI. While we can do some testing with hearing aids and such, we've got the...

    Forgot to wear HA's to work...

    I'm sort of the opposite. Ive had HA since 6 and its been the past few years, since 25 or so, that I've been using them less and less outside of work. Aside from stretching out my battery life from one week to about two, I've cone to really enjoy the quiet time, whether I'm eating a quick bite...

    Random Vents.....

    It depends on what form or stage of feminism you're talking about. I imagine virtually all of us are on board with First Wave feminism, the Suffragettes of the 1850s to the 1920s. I'd consider polemicist Ann Coulter and conservative Phyllis Schlafly (spelling?) part of this group. It is when...

    I don't have an accent... GRR

    I have a very generic Midlands American accent. I could just as easily be from parts of the midwest or Pennsylvania instead of Florida. While my hearing has declined a bit from my childhood diagnosis, I don't believe I have any markings of a deaf accent, but I have sometimes gotten people asking...

    Annoying ignorant hearing people stories

    I'd ask them what kind of prescription lenses will make the blind see 20/20 to drive home that man-made instruments will only help so much. Posted from Alldeaf.com App for Android

    Random Vents.....

    Erg...here's a long one. More of an RHU kinda rant, but I figure I'm safer posting here. My store is currently without a Store Manager, and so a salaried manager from nearby Big Store is essentially babysitting our Little Store until new Store Manager is hired and takes over. As it turns out...

    How should I handle this?

    I'd explain that what he's doing is like -Taking the belongings of a wheel-chair bound coworker, and putting them at the top of a staircase -Rearranging the office furniture to disorientate someone who is blind -Putting on a "queeny" act around gay people -Talking about how an unmarried...
